Snow and Birthday

The first good snow fall (3 inches) for the season has finally occurred Tuesday. However, my mom was saying even Sacramento got snow earlier in the week. Well, my drive in to work Tuesday and Wednesday was quite an adventure. My normally twenty minute drive home was turned into 45 minutes. And now we are in a deep freeze. Last night, with wind chill, they said it was going to get as low as -30!

Besides that, lately I’ve been thumbing through my coins. “Why?” you may ask. Well, a few weeks ago while working the cash register, I noticed someone had used three mercury dimes. So I switched those out with 30 cents of my own and now I have them saved. It sparked that collector in me again. As my mom will tell you, I don’t use coins often; normally I throw them into a bucket and they sit around. Subconsciously, I like to think that they can sit there for a long while and become valuable. Yes, I know that won’t likely happen, but it’s a nice dream. Same thing with my philatelic side...I’m too poor to afford anything right now, but window shopping for stamps on ebay is always fun.

It’s one week till mom gets up here for graduation, and one week and one day till graduation!

Tidbit by Thomas: I decided to post today as a birthday present for Lily….Happy Birthday!!

(I was going to do a montage of pictures I have of Lily because I know she would love it, but I'll spare her the honor.)
