Jackie, Thanks for your "Geodes". My grandmother, Gertie CARIGAN (nee CUNDIFF), had many flower beds built with geode borders in her yard at the corner of Maple Lane and Middleburg Street in Liberty. And I have gone wading many times in Brush Creek. You have done a great job of capturing the special character of a place and its people.
