What's in a name.
Rainy day and had to do a round the house blip.
This rock was from a wedding we went to. All guests had their names on rocks.
I look at this and thought it was a bit ironic as Peter per the derivation means "rock"
Here is a bit of info on my name. Complements of Wikipedia.
Peter is a common masculine given name. It is derived, via Latin "petra", from the Greek word petros meaning "stone" or "rock".
According to the New Testament, Jesus gave Saint Peter (whose given name was Simon) the name Kephas or Cephas meaning "stone" in Aramaic.
