I've have a rather secret hobby - had it for all of the time we've owned the Mitchells Island property: collecting river stones. They might actually be beach stones, but they are very much part of the landscape in this neck of the woods. These varied stones call to me, so I answer by collecting them and bringing them home to Scotts Rd. For my recent birthday, I asked for and received a professional rotary tumbler. At the moment I'm "cooking" a batch which, when it's done after about a month or so, should yield polished stones. Hide & watch!
