Looks like those issues are not going to change or have any significant improvement. But with the advice and help of our nursey DD my wonderful Dh takes excellent care of me. My last thought every night is a prayer of thanks for having him in my life. We had our 62 wedding anniversary in 2013.

Her mother is a good friend. The two of us kept trying to bring some reason to this terrible event. We finally told ourselves that if the mother was going to go down that road the children might be better off with out her.
The children are under the care of their father and a new mate.Our DD, their grandmother, is now tutoring all three of them. The now 13 year old boy recently commented that " We have never had it so good.

I think it is important enough to re-post it here on the Glass Board.
I just finished reading ”Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. I strongly recommend this book for any families who have children who are soon be entering school. Or those involved in education in any way. I am insisting that my DGD's who have young children find and read this book.

Another little idiosyncrasy of that DGGS of ours is that he thinks he has to mow the lawn with his plastic lawnmower every night before he is put to bed. He says " It makes me tired so I sleep better." Don't know what he will do when the snow flies.

After viewing Steiner's comments about the new postal regulations it looks like for those where we want the offered insurance we'll be dropping our packages at the PO rather than having our postman pick them up. DH is not going to like that.

Reen is so right . Today's collectors want retro 1960s- 1970s stuff.Or the really topnotch glassware and in cobalt blue. I have a large collection of green Florida / Herringbone for which I did some price checking. It is not selling. Good thing that I got a large lot of spun aluminum items in that same purchase. I sold all of those pieces to one buyer in NY City. No more primitives. I think that is true in almost all categories.

After the talk about hummingbird feeders I orders 2 today. Have a place to hang one but DH may have to add a bracket for the other one. One will be in a shady spot under a peach tree. I hope all the activity from varmints that are after the peaches will not scare the hummingbirds away.

I have been doing price research on ebay for Old Country Roses . Seems like sold prices are all over the place. Also researching some green pieces of US Glass Herringbone-Florida which is not selling well. Maybe I'll put some up just before Christmas. I had bought this as a lot at and estate sale in 1995. Also had bought a batch of spun aluminum which I had listed almost immediately in separate listing. Sold all of that at very good prices. All of it went to a buyer in New York City.
