Thanks for the ping WN. I hadn't seen the earlier posts on this.

Steve, you guys rock!

I SURPRISED a Marine yesterday!
One of the ushers at church turns out to be a retired Marine. He wore his full dress uniform, with all of his medals, not just the ribbons. He had a Purple Heart with at least one device.

After the service, he was greeting everyone. I shook his hand, and thanked him for his service. After a few stunned seconds, he quietly replied "thank you".

Great news, PE. A simple flogging of the guilty should suffice.

In other news, the first batch of knives has arrived!!!! Now to unpack them and get them engraved. Plus, put together a special knife shipment for a lurker here in the Hobbit Hole.

While Hair's off at work today, I went out in the woods with her new metal detector, and found all this inside a half hour. Had it set on the lowest sensitivity setting, and didn't even dig... this was just the stuff that was close enough to the surface to kick the dirt off and pick up.

I'm beginning to wonder just HOW one group of people produced sooo much frap metal.

What exactly were they up to? Hmm...

I've always wanted to try a metal detector, though! Sounds like fun.

It is kinda fun. Might even be more fun if we ever find anything besides frap!

Or does the fact that I'm seeing those as chocolate coins say something about *me*? Hmm...

Awww, shucks. Well, at least you can get 'em cheap at the after-Easter sales.

Mmmmm...after-Easter sales...

Usually by the time I get to the sales, though, the only things left are Peeps of various sorts. Not that I don't like 'em...but I'd rather have chocolate!

I've met very little candy I didn't like. And it shows.

Steve got me a couple of new babies...

They are Americaunas, or "Easter Eggers"...they lay blue and green eggs.

That's Rosabel on the left and Isabel on the right...(my little nieces, age 3 and 6, named them.)

They are SO cute! Did you know that Martha Stewart has a line of paint colors based on the shades of the eggs laid by those chickens?
