Silver Threads...

Worked... 

{Played : ) }

in Old... Old Coin Silver, Sterling... and Plate, today.

<3

Some dates back to the Early 1800's.

Those piece's are hand made... from Silver Coins, back in The Day.

LOVE IT!!!

: )

Thought of Dear Pal, John W., while going through it.

<3

Many... of the Super Early, and Wonderful... pieces came from John...

a Lifetime Ago.

: )

John taught me so much about Early, Early.... Silver, Glass... and Soft Paste.

He's a Book of Knowledge... when it comes to 'Old'.

<3

{And a Damned Good Cook!! ; ) }

Had to run to CR, yesterday.

Pick up a prescription... at Walmart.

{I'm not a Walmart Shopper. Too Big... Too Crazy!}

Hahahahahahaha!

but...

 I've used the same albuterol inhaler since I was a teen, for asthma....

every other pharmacy has went Crazy... on the price, except Walmart.

Had to move that prescription to Walmart.

So... when I 'have' to go inside Walmart, do a little grocery shoppin' too.

They had Dozen's of the above loaves of bread for .27 cents a loaf.

: )

Tho... I don't eat much bread, it keeps a LONG time, in the freezer.

Usually put bread in the freezer, anyway.

A loaf will go bad, long before me, and Miss. Peanut can finish one off.

It's Great... from The Freezer.

: )

Grabbed 6 loaves.

: )

That'll Keep Us, for a Long Time!!

It's actually... very good bread.

 Soft, and chewy. ; ) Really Good after Toasted on a Skillet...

with a little Cheese, Chili Sauce... Garlic, and Fresh Rosemary.

; )

Yeah... Boy.

: )

Whipped up some Vegetable Chicken Noodle Soup, today.

; )

I, don't eat much meat... but, on Cold...

Early...

January Days, 

in

Iowa,

well...

there's something about

Hearty... Homemade.... Chicken Noodle Soup, that...

Warms The Soul!!

: )

{Makes the House... Smell So COZY!! <3 }

Ran across... the above, Early, to Mid 1800's Coin Silver Teaspoon, today.

: )

it has

'Ford'

engraved on it.

: )

Can't imagine what attracted me to it.

; )

Much of the Coin, and Sterling... is going to be sold.

Figure, if I haven't seen it, or used it.... in the last 10 years, well... maybe, it's time to let someone else Enjoy It.

<3

; )

The 'Ford' Spoon, believe... I'll hold on to.

; )

but...

keep it with the Old... Spoons, I use every day.

<3

Meeting with Dear Friend, Renate... tomorrow.

{Renate's Antique Gallery, Amana, Iowa.}

Bud's been gone, for 4 months.

Their Home... burned to the ground, 5 months ago.

: (..............

Can't stand to watch the California Fires.

Seeing what Bud, and Renate went through, oh dear Lord.

Watching... what Renate is going through... without Bud.

My Heart Breaks for Everyone.

Renate has to rebuild.

Insurance is dictating that.

 The Home... that she and Bud shared for 48 years, 

should be totally 'gone', today.

Renate wants me to meet with her, and two, of three, of the Contractor's she's interviewing tomorrow, for the rebuild.

Gonna be a tuff day... for Renate.

but, 

she has more Strength, than she knows.

<3

and...

 Bud, is Close.

; )

Nobody could ever convince me, that even 'death' could keep Bud away from Renate.

<3 <3 

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
