	Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

Thanks for the kind comments.
The hard part is picking slabs that you are willing to part with.
We both picked several slabs out and replaced them with others.

The actual work is spread across two days so it isn't labor intensive.

I would see them as slabs you_don't have to part with... as long as you live there, anyway. ;D Very cool!
