Mjolnir

I named my out buildings for things from Norse mythology.  Primarily because I was having issues remembering some names and secondarily because it's more exacting to say 'the shovel is in Sleipnir' rather than 'the shovel is in the garage' when there are three buildings w/ garage doors.  The workshop is named Mjolnir after Thor's hammer.  (Get it? Workshop, Hammer?)  The shed where the lawnmower and the UTV are parked is named Sleipnir after Odin's eight-legged horse. (Again, Riding mower, Horsepower, Horse?)  Turns out most people can't remember or don't care to learn these names.  My sister and brother-in-law thought it might help if the names were on each building.  Last Christmas they gave me this engraved stone.  The ground was frozen then so I waited until now to install it.  Brother Phil put it at the corner of the building where no one will trip over it, the light won't shine into the apartment's windows, but it does show the way from my house to the apartment when people are walking over after dark.  Looks pretty neat.
