hi angel friends! :) We've had some rain in our area today. it's a nice day indoors, enjoying some writing, organizing :) i wanted to share some pictures with everyone, of my coins collection :) i've been into collecting some coins, since the late 1990's when the first sets of US state quarters began to come out :) Holly and i love to watch coins/treasure hunts on youtube, where people go treasure hunting, and find coins with metal detectors:) it's really neat, and a fun hobby :) i'm a casual coin collector :) it's fun :) i took these pictures today, of my collection :)

Wheat Pennies :) i have began to collect wheat pennies about a year and a half ago :) they made wheat pennies from 1909 to 1956 :) i always check my change for wheat pennies :) i have gotten a couple wheat pennies in my change from the post office :) when Holly and i watch coins/relic hunters on youtube who use metal detectors, who find coins in old farmlands, fields, they often find wheat pennies, that must have been dropped from years ago :) these pennies are also often found in circulation. :) i  love to check my change each time i get pennies back, to see if there's a wheat penny :) they are called wheat pennies, because they have wheat designs on the back :)

Silver coins :) i sometimes find silver quarters in my change :) i also have a silver dime :) about 6 silver quarters equals 1 ounce of silver :) silver is about $16 an ounce right now :) from 1964 and earlier, they made silver quarters and dimes, and in the 1940's, made some silver nickles :) these coins can be found in circulation these days too :)

International coins :) i've recieved some awesome international coins from friends over the years :) our dear and lovely friend Emma (ZenEm) gave me some of these coins from Australia, when she visited us in September 2010 :)

my spending coins/change :) in this box, i save up my change i get back from purchases at the store, post office :) the change really adds up :) i cash it in for dollars :) when it's filled like this, it's about $20 in change :) i go through all the change first to look for any silver coins and wheat pennies before cashing it in :)

Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoying each other's company.Hope your mom feels better soon Glad you're looking forward to a nice week ahead full of super bowl excitement, You know a lot about collecting coins. I like to collect silver coins once in awhile. I know 1 troy ounce of silver for a coin is good, I have one or 2 walking liberty coins and at least one or 2 bars of silver that are one troy oz. I have heard of wheat pennies, But didn't know much about them . I also have save my change in a jar and cash it in maybe once or twice a year. It's fun like free money. There is a man on TV on infomercials and HSN named Mike something who sells coins and knows a lot about them.You can learn a lot from watching him. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Enjoy a good night Hugs to everyone-Stephanie

Hi Chris,
What a great news letter. I understand your excitement about Super Bowl.
We had some great weather over the weekend, actually our temperatures have been very mild. The buds on our lilacs can be seen.
We have cleaned up an area for our flowers...they did great last year. But it is still January and anything can happen weather wise.
We got some great DVDs from the library over the weekend including a boxed set of Twilight Zone. I've always thought I had
seen them all but last night I saw two that I had never seen. What a surprise.
I'm going for Acupuncture today as my neck has been stiff in the mornings. I go to Chair Yoga in the afternoon followed by
Tai Chi. Life is Great!
My grandson William graduates high school in June. Time does really fly by.
Thank you for your news filled post.
Sending love across the miles.
