Hi Dick... it was good to see you on ebay. I hope the coins were ok. Certainly not anything I collect or know about. I guess. Take a good look at that salior in the water quarter. I found that one. I thought it was cool.

Sorry I havent been around much.. moved twice since Christmas. David's ( My huby) dad died... just a lot of stress. And mortgages. Ugh..... David and I carried the loan on his parents house, they paid the bill. His mom took the death benifits and ran leaving us with a monster, we lost our house in the whole mess. But all is better now. We have a great new home.. all ours and paid for. Not that anyone needs or wants to know.

Anyway.... Good to see you and if you dont like what you got let me know and Ill fix it. I got a ton of stuff around here.

Cathy, I really hit it good yesterday! I got your ppackage, and the Lady mail carrier didn't even work up a swat, but when she carried my other box, she was "pooped"! LOL. It was three boxes of "P" cents, and a big bunch of Canadian cents! I went thru the whole thing, and grinned from ear-to-ear! Sorry, I looked at the quarter, but I guess the poor " swabbie" drowned, because I didn't see him. It might be, because I am "legally blind", now. I don't know if you knew it or not. They pulled my drivers license, because I can't see far enough ahead, to avoid a collision, etc. I have no focal vision. Makes for some weird words, too. It is too bad, the way things turned out, but it doesn't surprise me, knowing what you went thru, prior to the move from the house with the basement full of K-Mart boxes, filled with boxes of cents! Looks like things are looking good, for a change!Those whgitman folders will get a good workout. I have a big batch of nickels that have never been put in albums, ('cause I hadn't bought them yet). Looks like you finally got "dug out of the snow", too. That pkg, got here real fast! Take care of yousrself, and David. No, I didn't forget the girls. They must be thrilled, with the new house, and everything.
As always,
Dick

Dick you are the sweetest.. I did not know you were blind as a bat. Just whistle youll be fine. If you have a cane you can use it as a poking stick and poke people that irritate you. I did that with my cane when I broke my ankle last year or so.

Things are going very well here and the movers that I used the first time refused to come back for more when we moved these boxes of coins. I had to find some other suckers to move them all!!!! I gave them good tips, pizza and beer. I made a killing when gold was really high a few weeks ago. Got to love gramps and the gold coins. Finally bought and paid for a house. Nothing like paying cash. And all the family issues are over as we just cut ties from them all. The ones we wanted to poke with a cane that is. We now live 6 blocks from my parents and it has been wonderful. We see them often but not too much. Kids LOVE IT, the house, thier school. Really I have to thank the mother in law. David got a great job with the coounty as the Sr IT guy for the whole county. Everyone is happy.

That swabbie is there I tell you. I saw him under 10x.

We got dug out from the last 10 inches we got on friday... now we are suppose to get 6 more by friday this week. Do you need more of those coin books I have a whole bunch Ill send them to you if you like I dont use them....

Cathy, I'm glad everything is going so nice for you. From what you have mentioned in the past, I'd say you FINALLY came into YOUR just rewards! Knowing what your field of endeavor is, I'll bet you got a great deal on the house, too. Cathy, I'm not "blind as a bat", nut I have lost the focal cision. I change the font to Arial black, and the size to 24, on my email, soI can read it. Here, I use the magnifier. It helps. The nice thing about the coins, is that I have an application, that sends video to TV. That allows me to put a 32" image on the screen, and then I can see the 'fleas on a fly's butt"! No cane tho. My periphal vision is as good as anyoes. The retina is damaged. It is called Macualr Deterioration. Jt sure messes up looking at the girls, tho! Now I have to look at all of them!!! Twisted Evil

I'll give the "swabbie" another look, and see if he is "in uniform".
Cathy, as far as the coin books, I can always use them. I have gotten about 3000 canadian cents, and a few other denominations, since thelast I heard from you. Give me a price, and I'll "PayPal" you.
Keep your snow shovel handy, for a while longer, 'Cause "It ain't over, 'til it's over".
Say hi to all,
Dick
