Unused Stamps

 


Got a piece of mail today and the stamp was unmarked. Will reuse it. Easy $1.00. That's the second in a week.

I love history, there's so much of it.

A Burst of Vitamins


Amazon Vitamins

Just before supper yesterday, I took some vitamins. The thing is, one got stuck in my throat. Not a big problem, it would eventually fall apart but it was uncomfortable. Drank water three times to no avail. I didn't want to eat anything till it was gone, didn't want more problems. After awhile I could feel it breaking apart. I gave a little cough and out came a cloud of white dust. That was funny. I looked like Puff the Dragon.

Poker or Faro

 

Every western movie has gotten it wrong. Cowboys did not play poker in the 1800s but a game called Faro. Faro was invented outside the United States and after being imported, gained popularity.

What was lost is now found.


I think I said awhile ago that I had lost my ring. It was one given to me by my wife over 50 yrs. ago. Before we were married. Gold ring, black onyx center and a diamond in one corner. After my operation, I lost a lot of weight so that my hands were smaller. I was out fooling around the snow blower and when I took off my glove, the ring must have come off with it. I didn't miss it till later. I prayed to St. Anthony to find my ring and then one day, there it was, bold as brass, or should I say bold as gold, laying on my patio. All the snow had melted. My family and I must have looked in that area at least 6 times and saw nothing. Happy to find it.
