I was almost finished with a post to you, and lost it, thanks to Win 8.1. So let me try to reconstruct.

Thunder has been rolling around for about the last 90 minutes, but no rain, and nothing close, so I’m hoping we have no power outages.

Last night, as I was lying in bed, my phone rang. It was my brother and his wife in CO, singing “Happy Birthday” to me in harmony, as they do every year. I hated to tell them they were 10 days early, but I did!

I get so excited when they call that I think I’m rude, so I will have to apologize to them.

Anyway...

That seems to be what I lost. And I’m SOOO ready for bed! I really wish RAC would call.

And sweet Charlie gave me a roll of quarters, telling me “not to worry” that I had no cash to pay him for it. :o]) I’ll have to cook for him again, I guess!

Just double-check to make sure they aren't really old. If they are old enough, they are real money.

Actually all you have to do is look at the sides. If you can see bands of different metal, then the only thing precious about it is the fond memory of what coinage once was.

How nice that your brother called! I was early, too ;-). I called Mom on Wednesday and sang to her.
