LMMLinkup: A Whole Lot of Rocking Going On

By 18 Comments

Members of my community have joined a “rocking” craze. People are painting and hiding rocks all over towns for enthusiasts to find.

We took our grandchildren  on a rock hunt yesterday and below are just a few of the rocks that they found.

We also painted a few of our own rocks that we will add to this stash and rehide.

My granddaughter wants to keep the longer rock that reads, “Hello, Gorgeous you found a rock!”

She found it in a large urn in a local park and came running over laughing and breathless.

“Mimi, look what I found.”

Below are some more rocks that they found.

 

This craze in my own community caused me to research how the idea began.

I could not find a starting point for the craze, but in searching I found that it literally is a national phenomena.  Art groups, parents, and children of all ages are painting colorful rocks and then “rocking” a community park or area for others to find.

Many Facebook groups are also forming to fire up participation. Here is a link to just a few of the ones I found.

I also discovered these guides online that provide resources if you want to get involved in the “rocking” craze:

Is your community joining the rock painting craze?

Pam reviews a powerful memoir that is not to be missed. If you love history, you may be the story of Kim Phuc Phan Thi (“the napalm girl”). This biography is written by Kim herself and takes you a journey as she discovers faith in Jesus Christ. This review is one not to miss. Thanks Pam for sharing with us this week.

  3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
