A BIG Thanks to everyone!! ;D

It's funny how when we are tumbling rocks they seem to take forever but when doing the Comp rocks time flys by like lightning!

When we first got the rough rocks it was May and flowers were blooming and we all rushed to get those rocks into a rough stage,,,fast and now all I can see out there is leaves falling with a cold rain,,,,the rocks have long gone to be voted on and now the final results are in!!

Where did those hot humid days of summer go when we were checking the rocks almost daily to see if we got rid of those dreaded pits?

Well that time has passed and I am pleased with the results and the only thing that could have made it better is if Paul had been in the tip 3 too! Not that being in the top 5 isn't something to be VERY proud of but just to see a "Round Robin" for the RTH gang!

Last year I complained about being 3rd but with all that has happened to me this summer I am elated to come in 2nd!

Congratulations to EVERYONE,,,we ALL gave it our best!
