Thanks TT, I'm thrilled. Although my exhusband (who I tricked into putting this in!) said if we weren't already divorced we would've gotten one over this! lol...Really, though, It makes me happy every day to look at it.:-)

The name of the stone is strange....
Tennessee Crab Orchard ?

Yes, it comes from a town in TN, called Crab Orchard, which was the first established community in the American West. There's a lot of history behind it, but from what I remember after reading all about it, is that it wasn't until 1925 that they began to use it to make buildings. Very interesting and pretty!
