The Old Folks Home

I think that turkey's nest needs an opaque cover that you can bolt down over her!

I laughed so hard tears ran down my leg!

And now you need to change. At least you are probably already home.

I have turned the hose on dogs and turkeys that fight. My goodness Scg.... I hope something changes soon for your sake!

Too bad this half of the year there's no hose. Hence the supersoaker comment.

I spent the evening sorting our coin bin (which was finally full). I love doing that. I realize I could just pour it in a machine and get money almost instantly from it, but it's not about the money. It's about combing through what's in there and finding treasures. Today my best find was a buffalo nickel (date worn off which is common, but pre WWII) but I also got a bunch of wheat pennies, a silver dollar, a bunch of Canadian coins, some tokens to weird places and 2 pennies that were smashed in Birmingham.

Never once when sorting did I contemplate how much money was there, only what treasures there were. I actually hooted when I found the buffalo nickel! I guess tomorrow I'll actually have to put them into sleeves and complete the transformation into money heating oil.

I've had a molded plastic Colonel Sanders coin bank that has been accepting coins for the majority of my childhood years. But it has no access/exit for the coins. After I married I cut a small line in the bucket to get the coins out just to see what was in there. I still have all the coins, I was just curious.

I've got a 1927 dime and some early 1940s or 50s coins. But, had I only thought it through...the molded Colonel Sanders is probably worth more than all the coins I could ever stuff in there.

I own 2-3 pickup tools!

Not quite the same as the one pictured, I got mine at dollarama. But they work great for what I've used them for. Darn able bodies keep playing with them...and they go missing!

Thus why I have 2-3.

Oh Penny, I am so sorry. No matter how old you are you are never ready to say goodbye to 'mom'. I share your grief.

I got a dollar grabber thing from Menard's(like a bigger Home Depot) and it was so crappy looking I thought it was worthless. I wouldn't dare attempt getting cans down from a shelf with it but, it has lots of other uses. I got it primarily because I am -5' small and can never reach anything. Mainly it picks up a lot of stuff I drop and don't want to bend (bad knees) to pick up. I'm sorry I didn't get more. I also buy Dollar Tree's wooden back scratchers- great for pushing things away , you don't want to touch. Nudging pictures on the wall to get them straightened.

Before all that when I couldn't reach things in the grocery store and was hollered at too many times for scaling the shelves especially in the freezer (successfully I might add. I would find a good broom on display and use it to nudge products to the front of the shelf so I could catch them as they fell.
