Hello again, Darter! Too many projects are waiting for me, and cannot decide where to start. I started new files in the office yesterday, today some things should be done outside. The weather looks good, sunshine and 5 C. Still too cold for me. Now made coffee with my new small coffee machine and will enjoy a piece of apple pie. After that I'll do some house chores......

Oh DEAR! Apple Pie! I need to make one! We are up to a cheery 2C ! Even MUTTs Inc came out to "help" me. I thought I was all caught up on my paperwork until I went into town... Those house chores just seem to get ahead of us... Tote that barge ! Lift that bale.... The drudgery of daily living never seems to end. Fax me a piece of Pie I have a plate waiting.

I had to attend a funeral this morning, so that was sad. Weather was overcast and cold, turning to heavy rain late afternoon.

Nice coins.

My sincere condolences both to you and the family. Why does the weather not cooperate for outdoors events. We stood in the snow for the last funeral we needed to attend.

WoW Dater! That's a pretty fancy coin for first issue. It will be deserving of a special mounting.

It was mainly sunny here, SW breeze, maxed out at 51F (10.6C). I barked the dog and meowed the cats, among other things. Bacon and eggs for breakfast. Tomorrow bacon and apple/cinnamon flips. Can't wait.

Ruby is wheezing as she snores. It is currently at 02:20 26 F... -3C here. Ronnie and Rosie followed me to the office... I might evaporate if I get outta sight. A little Hot Cocoa might help me sleep again.
