Love you Donnie! Well, the family and I are still trying to get settled into the new home, and the lake is a certain distraction for me, find myself on the dock almost daily casting the spinner bait out there. First cast on my own new dock, caught a sunfish about 1 1/2 pounder, bigger than my hand, followed by a Striper about 15 casts later, then a beautiful small mouth about 12 inches long, was so happy to be able to walk about 100 feet out my back door and start casting!
Oh, anyway, I've gotten ahead of myself with my story here. . . lol, you can feel the excitement! Hahaha... Monday was the first day to receive mail, and the very first item in our mail box was a box from Donnie. No other mail, just Donnie's box, like the post office found anything else in there would be offensive! Lol.. so Donnie PM'd me about it as it's sat on my footrest next to my desk for this entire week while I was busy unpacking. So I thought I'd open it and OMG what a bunch of beauty in there!
When Donnie asked me what I wanted, I said, "just surprise me", and boy did she! Most of these won't be cabbed, they are so pretty I'm going to face polish them and put them around the office as display pieces. I'll be back on in a short-short with pictures, but wanted to post this note about how much I love Donnie before my poor, aged mind forgets...lmao.....
Love to you Donnie, thanks for all the wonderful items!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Robin. I can't remember how many I put in there but one or two or of the smaller pieces is the gold horn agatized coral, really pretty when cabbed. I might have even put a piece of the black in there too. In pic 6 the smaller rock is a piece of agatized coral from jcinpc. You have to watch out on that fishing! You could spend all day out there just doing the one more cast thing. You never know when the next cast will land you the BIG ONE! Kind of addicting like cutting or cabbing rock - just one more and that will be the last one! ;D Enjoy yourself! Donnie
