Sort of a ho-hum time of the year - cold - some snow in downtown a few days ago (gone now) - rain - slush and no sun........... sigh ...................
I'm in an Egyptian kind of mood after watching the movie, Cleopatra and reading the latest novel with the same title. OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) is featuring an exhibit about Lost Egypt, Ancient Secrets and Modern Science. Roger isn't interested in going so when he's in school Thursday, I'm going to check it out.
I'm still keeping busy with selling over 300 pieces of sterling - frankly, it's starting to get a little boring but there's still hundreds to go so I'll keep plugging along. Whoever collected this set of sterling must have added pieces for many generations because some of the pieces are extremely old and rare; such as 12 terrepin forks (used to eat turtle soup) and 12 individual sugar spoons (used in place of coffee or teaspoons). There's a waffle server, fish slice (knife), fish server, ice cream server (a flat piece used to cut through a slab of ice cream (before Baskin Robbins) and many more unique pieces.
Well that's about all for now - I'll continue to hibernate until the sun shows up again.......
