the Mani Stone truly caught my attention.
Wiki Definition: Mani stones are stone plates, rocks and/or pebbles, inscribed with the six syllabled mantra of Avalokiteshvara[1] (Om mani padme hum, hence the name “Mani stone”), as a form of prayer in Tibetan Buddhism. The term Mani stone may also be used in a loose sense to refer to stones on which any mantra or devotional designs (such as ashtamangala) are inscribed. Mani stones are intentionally placed along the roadsides and rivers[1] or placed together to form mounds[1] or cairns[2] or sometimes long walls, as an offering to spirits of place or genius loci. Creating and carving mani stones as devotional or intentional process art is a traditional sadhana of piety to yidam. Mani stones are a form of devotionalcintamani.
This stone appears to tell a story about a Tibetan Mastiff…

Hi Debby and Julie!
Attached are photos of Joyous Gracie playing in the snow here in North Carolina. She just LOVES the snow!
The move to NC has been wonderful for both of us. Thanks for much for this great little dog! She entertains me (all the time) and the neighbors, too!
Nemaste,
Mary Anna
Wolf Pen snow 1/10/11: Gracie moved here from Charleston and just loves snow, even when the snow
is deeper than her legs are long. Gracie wears a coat to keep the worst of the snowballs from hanging
onto her long hair. Mom uses a hair dryer to remove the rest.
Gracie’s snow fun continues. 1/15/11.
Trying something…
