Thanks very much again to my Secret Santa and to rggoodie for running this annual event!

Beautiful gifts all round!

This is one of my favorite events every year. I am so grateful that rgoodie takes the time to set it up each year!

He lives for it! You should hear him in the Staff meetings. "I know it is July, but is it too soon to start the SS topic?"

I think my quote was "how did I get myself into it?"

In reality - I enjoy seeing a threat where everyone is trying to support someone they do not know and have some smile reach across mile.

May you all be blessed with Health, Peace, and prosperity

Staff meetings !?!?

Do you guys get paid in unsearched rolls of wheat cents?

Time for Santa to tell a story.

My wife again had a fall and had numerous brain bleeds,- so I was quite busy over the holidays traveling back and forth to the Hospital and trying to stay up to date with my Coin forum Responsibilities, and my professional work.

Haven't really had any time to myself.
I quote the movie The Green mile "I'm tired boss"

Not complaining as I got to get my wife home from the hospital this last Thursday and she is doing remarkably well (yes I believe in Miracles)

While catching up on chores today- I went out to check the mail
to my suprise there was a Secret Santa Gift in my mailbox.

Very unexpected and I do not post my address.or enter the exchange .

Now to embarass Susuman

Thank you very much for the unexpected gift.
