I hope everything works out for your dad, Eagle. My Grandmother gave me a completed Littleton Statehood Quarter folder. She said she knew I probably had them already, but wanted me to have something from her that was special. Special indeed. She spent ten years assembling something that reminded her of me. This is a set that I will always cherish!  Edited by jbuck

Thanks JB... This isn't his first rodeo with this.....(last year .....collapsed lung) And yeah....that gift from your Grandma is awesome......ten years of effort ! That reminds me of that African proverb about the little boy bringing a gift to his teacher......the other kids brought various gifts, but HE walked MANY MANY MILES overland on a HUGE TREK, to get his teacher a "handful of sand"........and she was most touched by "the journey" for this gift, actually becoming the gift, rather than the "actual" gift itself. Ten years of time from Grandma for that gift shows how much she loves ya ! ... P.S. Was it a "P" & "D" mint ?...  Edited by eaglefoot

No, it one per year. I have not removed any of them to see if there are any D-Mint coins; I doubt I ever will. It is actually a good looking set. |

No one really knows what I need, but there's a tradition in our household.
Since Father's Day usually corresponds with the start of really nice weather here, I usually wind up getting two Hawaiian shirts every year, and the louder, the better, the kids have discovered.
This year's were no exception.
They are usually delivered to me after breakfast; every year for Father's Day, I make Eggs Benedict.
The Eggs Benedict/Hawaiian shirt thing has gotten to be almost a ritual around here.

I got the 2010 Red Book from the wife and an hour to myself on Sunday so I could go to the coin store - Picked up a roll of AU/BU 1943 steels. |

Congratulations Atlas! That's fantastic! This year I got four hours to go metal detecting...and my daughter went with me! We hit a playground and found a few coins and such, but just being able to be with my little girl for a while was the big treat! (She's just about the age when parents turn stupid and revolting and just don't know or understand anything)
