What's Happening

From the desk of your Secretary

August 14/05 - For those who may wonder, my hip appears to be mending very well and therapy is helping with getting my right leg to function closer to normal. I have started to drive on short trips around the neighborhood but am still reliant on a came.

- James Lawniczak # 17 has had a series of quarters encased by Penny Press Mint (pictured below) and is offering a set of three: 0hio, Michigan & New York to our members for $12.85 shipping included. I think it is great that our members are having new pieces minted and hope that all of us will support them by ordering a set, I received mine yesterday. Tony Chibbaro, Elaine Rexdale and James Hartman are also having coins encased this month. I will keep everyone posted when they're issued. Click HERE to order the set below.

July 28/05 - Well my first month of hip mending has come and gone and it appears that I'm doing very well. Being confined at home, for the most part, has given me a lot of time to catch up on all my unfinished projects that have been put on hold. The problem is, that when I took my first jaunt this morning around the yard I find that wild strawberries have taken over in places crowding my shrubs, while my personal flower beds are in serious need of weeding. Now the wife's are in somewhat better shape and when confronted about the neglect of mine she says that the hot weather has not allowed her to spend the time necessary outside to take care of everything. Well I have to take that for what it is worth since she has went out of her way these past weeks taking care of me. I have learned over the years that you can't have it all all of the time. So I'll relish in her TLC and hire a neighbor boy to pull the weeds.
