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!

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!!!!

Ha! Not too many can say they have a rock named after them, can they? ;)

Now that is cool! Thanks for the egg suggestion. We will have to try it.

Kristie said...

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.

Some of those rocks have health properties that I am looking for.

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