Looking forward to a great holiday season...already!!

Greetings again!!

Well, fall is almost officially here. Soon I will see the familiar and longed for changing of colors in the mountains that surround the valley here. There will be a chill again, and the excitement of collecting will be re-newed.

I also just started my fall semester classes (humanities, poli-sci, and math) which counts me down to 3 more semesters until my degree. I am learning a lot of new ideas and other philosophies I was not aware of, which can only better me as a human being.

I have been stagnate in my collecting lately as I have been spending most of my time on my studies and also had to come up with a 2,000 dollar property tax payment. I could have completed my SAE set and then some with that money. But, in another way, I feel OK about it as the city and county I live in and work for offers very many programs for the citizens that my taxes pay for. I did not realize how many programs there really were until I started working for the county.

Good luck to you all, enjoy the fall season!!
