    ~ Show and Tell Friday~ Look What I found ! ~

     

    It's that time again...

    I wanted to share a treasure I found recently at the beach near us !  I found a heart shaped rock and thought that it was pretty cool to find one that shape. I just love hearts.  But when I was wondering what I was going to Show and Tell this week.  Something inside prompted me to look at this rock a bit closer.  All of a sudden I realized what I had found !!!  I have been hearing for years that there were arrowheads left around the beaches here from the natives in this area long ago.  I also know this one family who has found several arrowheads over the years.  Even though I had always hoped to find one I kinda gave up.  But little did I know it but I had found one !!!

    Here it is...

    Now....

    *** Remember in Show and Tell Friday ...the best way to get a comment is to give a comment. ***

    If you want to join us

    just...

    ~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    ~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ? )

    ~Then , 
    please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    It is so exciting to find arrowheads! I will never forget the one we found just laying on the ground after a rain. Amazing. Yours is fat ( different shapes for different uses). Do you know what Indian group it is from and what it was used for?

    WOW!! I'm not sure I would've caught that this is an arrowhead!! Nice job!!

    I just love those little surprises!! God's way of saying..."See, I know how hard you've looked and how long you've wanted to find one!! Here it is!"

    What are you going to do with it now?

    In His hands,

    Wow! What a find! We have a little friend who is always on the hunt for arrow heads. They live on an acreage that his great-grandma grew up on, and she told him Indians used to live near the stream on the property. So armed with that information, he has found several and our kids like to join in on the hunt when we go over to visit. =)

    Yes, that is an arrowhead! Good job, Mary!
    How cool to actually find one yourself.

    My grandfather has a collection of them that i would love to inherit. My dad is holding on to it pretty tightly, though.

    We do have a real heart-shaped rock that one of my boys found. It's about the size of my palm.

    Oh, you'll have to be logged in to see my current posts. Hubby wants security these days.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Hi Mary!
    That is really cool! I wish I could see a picture of how those arrow heads were used. I am guessing some museum has an entire one intact? I'd be curius to see that.

    I have been very busy this weekend and I'm just now getting to visit everyone. We just had our 4th grandchild arrive - Kayla - 7.5 oz. I'm very excited!

    What a neat find!

    I stumbled across your blog somehow, and was excited to find another American in Canada!! We just moved from BC (Lower Mainland) to Southern Alberta, but we've been in Canada for almost 11 years now. (We are BOTH Americans, my husband and I.)

    COOL!
