For years, or decades rather, my mother has (proudly) told people about how I used to paint rocks and try to sell them and she was always my only customer.

When I was little we lived “in the country”. Nevertheless we as children refused to give up the opportunity to make money with lemonade stands or painted rock stands. The problem was lack of customers of course because of our distant locale. This is where the mothers came in…with their change and purchased our product.

My mom stopped by the other night and what does she bring for me? Yep, you got it…a painted rock. She kept it for the past 28 years! Probably the best dollar she ever spent! I mean check it out…it is tri-colored!
