Clara I'm gone from blogging for a few days & you blog like crazy!! Dont do that when I'm gone!! LOL!! What a beautiful place. It doesnt look errie at all just beautiful! Now the frog rock was weird thinking that a bunch of women went up there & had youngins! I guess that is the nurse in me!! This is where your son-in-law is from? I wouldn't have walked tru that water for love or piles of MONEY!! Did they bring any of the pottery pieces back? I wonder about those! Very interesting!! I have never seen a place like that before..like Mama says, that is different....we aint got that here in south georgia!! Loved the last quilt barn too. They are so pretty!! I haven't seen an ugly one yet!

Now just where are you going???? I go to your blog every day and you can't be away very long....
My son-in-law is from El Salvador....which borders Honduras. Lisa met him at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I want to find out more about the Frog Rock. I guess sitting on one of those rocks would be like the big rubber balls thatsome women sit on today when they are in labor. Altho, I can't imagine having a baby on a rock!!!!
They did bring pieces of the pottery back, and one piece is almost whole.
One time when I was there they took us to a deserted island and some chef came in a boat and brought our food to us.
Don't stay away too long. I will miss you!

Tina, thanks for the comment on my picture. I had just finished crocheting that hat. Can you tell I still have the crochet needle in my hand? Bill says he is going to put a crochet needle in my hand when I die. I hope he does...the Angels can always use more lace.

They look so similar to the barn pictures you have posted. Have a good Lord's day.


God Bless!
