Marching through Europe

It rained last night and the sun shone on my porch. The mailman left an envelope on my doorstep (glad it was under a big roof). My wife Helen, found it as we were saying goodbye to a guest this morning. In it [from CCG] was five (5) count em, FIVE Registry Awards. It is not good to be prideful, but it is fun to have some lofty goals achieved throughout ones life. I have been collecting coins now for over two decades and last year I got two awards and three new ones this year, and the old ones from last year held up. I suppose the awarded coins were not of the highest order, but it spurs me on to higher goals. Only a lack of energy should keep one from setting higher and higher goals. My new goal will be with Silver Proof PF70 Silver Eagles, I started the set today. I will add a picture to this post when I get my camera and other computer up and running, hopefully later today.

Go for it!

May you achieve all your dreams except one, this way you always have something to strive for.
