Another half century to go…

My 50th birthday is officially over. Thank you to all who sent cards. 85 cards creates an impressive pile. Heck, I didn’t know I knew 85 people. Thanks!

Shiny Dimes

Just found two Roosevelt dimes, one from 1964 in silver and one alloy from 1965. Never noticed how dull real silver one is compared to the alloy

Blue Star

While watching “2 Broke Girls“, Caroline sells some rings so they can get a new Blue Star range to cook cupcakes. Blue Star?

Never heard of them. Looked them up. Nice. Expensive, ala Viking. Might not get it very soon

So here is mine. Love the 20,000 BTU burner – I am so there. [...]

New Mats

The CR-V has nice fuzzy floor mats, but they were already getting trashed – lots of water, sand and dirt. You can wash – but for a leased vehicle? Protect all you can. I already dumped coffee once…

I had heard of WeatherTech on WBEZ, and we purchased nice mats several years ago from them [...]
