Made Good Use Of My Extra Hour

Published by pattye under Living Edit This

Did you remember to fall back today?  We woke up at 4:30 a.m. since we normally wake up at 5:30 a.m.

How did you spend your extra hour?  I planted pansies in my front yard.  I love those because they will come back in spring.  I really need to see flowers after a long winter of snow.  I also pulled out some rubber stamps.  I like to personalize my Christmas cards.  I found an old coin in a case in my rubber stamp box.  I examined it for a while.  I think it must be from my husband’s grandmother. She died in 2000.  I wondered if it was worth any money.  I could sure use some money right now.  My hours have been cut at work.  It seems like it could be a sign from her since I’m really not sure how it ended up in that box.  If it was a sign from her, she must be telling me to try and cash it in.  I showed it to my husband.  He didn’t seem as interested as I was. I’m not sure what I will do with it.  I hate to sell anything that belonged to a loved one.

As I was looking through my rubber stamps, I found the stamps that I used on my Letters From Santa when I did those several years ago.  I was quite successful and even appeared on syndicated news programs all across the country.  I gave it up when I became too busy to keep up with it.  Those were the “good ole days” for me.  I decided that I should start up that business again.  I have nothing to loose.  I have everything I need.  It will just cost me the stamps for the letters. 

 It seems that I did quite a bit in my extra hour.  How about you?
