WW: Mica {Linky}

We stopped off in a rock shop on our trip to South Dakota. Our son Mica saw his name.

What is Mica anyway? It's a shiny silicate mineral with a layered structure, found as minute scales in granite and other rocks, or as crystals.

If you have a moment I have a giveaway up for a HomeRight Steam Machine. It does a great job! Check out how it cleaned my oven door after a fire!

    Neat! I used to collect rocks as a child and dragged my parents into many of those shops. ;D

    The little red Savers card is a early entrance to the 50% OFF SALE! I can go the day before all day or 2 hours earlier than the others of the day of the sale. Yay!

    Little kids and their rocks. Oh I had the best collection with one of my girlfriends when we were like 7-8, we thought we were rich!!!!

    How cool is that! Did you name him after the rock or does Mica mean something else?

    How neat! I'm guessing you bought the stone with his same name? I know I'd have to! That's just too cool. Although my daughter, Morgan, is NOT getting a 'Morgan' horse. ;-)

    We have Mica on rocks around here. As a kid I would love peeling the layers.

    Great, he must be tough as a rock. Rocks are super cool with a huge variety, I hope Mica likes them too
