We have rocks in our garden that were part of my husband's family history....from historical sites visited, houses lived in, vacation spots and the like. Those were more rockish in nature.
Then we have stones gathered over the years by our boys, most recently this summer while spending an afternoon on the shore of Lake Ontario. They're nothing spectacular, just ones everyone thought were pretty. I have them in an interesting pot out in the garden and, even though our boys are too cool for their own good (21 and 15) they like seeing that the stones are a focal point.
I think I'll bring them in over the winter so the pot doesn't crack, and so I can look and touch.

Thanks for sharing a family story.
