Germain Stones in San Genesio

Last year when we were in California, we stayed with Bond and Janet. While we were there, we took a walk on the beach with Bond. We asked him to pick two rocks from the shoreline. One for him and one for Del (his Dad). We told him that we would take the stones with us to Italy and leave them near where the family originated in San Genesio. Well, Bond and Del, your stones are not only near there, but in the house of your distant cousins. 

When we told Guiseppina's (Pinucha) husband, Francesco about the stones he asked if they had to go outside, or could he keep them in the house. If we had no objections, he had an idea of where to keep them. So, as you can see, Francesco put them in a small lidded bowl which stays on a shelf in the kitchen. This is where they keep the egg money from their chickens. There are four stones. One for Bond, one for Del, one for Denise, and one for Dick. A momento of our visit.
