Arplis - News: My 22 Goals for 2019

Goal #1 — Spend More Time Doing What I Love I think we only have about 60% of the boxes unpacked, but the best part is all nervous energy is gone and I don’t even care that we’re sleeping on a mattress on the floor or that our stuff is strewn all over the house. In another week or so things will be in their place, we’ll have a proper bed to sleep in and I’ll have found the hairdryer. Moving is super stressful, but all the hard stuff is over now {well, the HH does still have to put the treadmill together but that’s his problem, not mine}. 😉 Goal #2 — Garden, Garden, Garden The color pallet for the front garden at the new place is going to be blue, pink, white and green. I’ve already ordered 200 white, and 200 pink tulip bulbs as well as 500 tiny grape hyacinth {muscari} to plant in the front flower bed. {Don’t you think that’s a dreamy color combination?} Now all I need to do is hunt down 9 blue hydrangea plants and about 36 baby gem boxwoods and I’ll be good to go. Oh, and maybe one or two pink common hibiscus for the tall corner in the front. And then HEY… I can settle in for winter and worry about the rest later. 😉 Also, I thought I’d mention that Botanical Interests is offering 30% off seeds right now in case you wanted to do a little late fall/winter sowing. {I’ll be planting a bunch of poppy seeds just before the first hard freeze}. Goal #3 — Plant an Orchard {Calling it Quits on this one.} I never did get around to planting an orchard, but Lemon and all but 2 of her babies survived the journey and the new place has a plum tree so that part is good. And, I think there might be room for an espalier tree or two at the back of the new house so I may get an orchard after all. But, it wouldn’t be planted until next spring. Goal #4 — Gussy Up the Potting Shed Done! I left the potting bench but took the party lights with me. Goal #5 — Grow Enough Extra Vegetables, Eggs and Flowers to Earn $1500 at my little roadside vegetable stand. It was totally my intention to grow a ton of fruits and vegetables to sell at the farm-stand when I made my list of goals for 2019 last winter, but then we moved. So, that whole goal was sort of a bust. The new peeps wanted the vegetable stand, and we were happy to leave it for them since it was made specifically to match the front of the house, so hopefully the tradition will continue. Goal #6 — Finish Every Single Unfinished Rug Hooking Project in My Pattern Bin + 10 Things from back Issues of Magazines/Books I’ve Been Meaning to Make. I finally finished the turkey rug I’ve been working on the past few weeks along with a few other things and I was able to upload them to my Etsy shop this weekend. I also hooked another pumpkin and a cat head and will try to get those listed along with some new wool bundles later this week. I still have a ton of things to hook if I’m going to meet my goal of clearing out my pattern bin, but I think once November and December roll around, the HH won’t be able to pry me off the couch because I’ll be in full on hooking mode and I’ll be able to finish all my rugs by the end of the year. 73 rugs in my pattern bin {now down to 34} 183 hooked flowers {finished 133, now down to 51} 10 “things” from back issues of magazines {finished 0} Goal #7 — Create 12 New Rug Hooking Patterns {with at least half of them being large ones} DONE! So far this year I’ve added 12 new rug hooking patterns and 13 beginner rug hooking kits to my Etsy shop. New rug hooking patterns I’ve created and added to My Etsy Shop this year: Tullia and Thomas Turkey Double Nantucket Whale Runner Miss Henny and Penny Miss Penny Simple Kitty Primitive Flowers 2 Fat Cats Annabell’s Big Day Old Fashioned Double Tulip Fat Brown Hen Busy Little Bee Queen Bee Rug Hooking Kits Busy Little Bee {in 2 different colors} Folk Art Heart Small Nantucket Whale Primitive Crow Miss Robin {in 2 different colors} Simple Kitty Primitive Flowers Sunflowers A Basket of Spring Posies Fat Brown Hen Chicky’s Garden Goal #8 — Split and Stack 2 Cords of Wood for Next Winter All that firewood! We sold it. 😉 Goal #9 — Do Something with the 5,002 Photos on My Phone Current number of photos on phone is 10 million. Goal #10 –Lose the Muffin Top I went out for a walk yesterday and guess what I spotted… A little hello from Mrs. HB. Hahaha! I still think it’s weird there are people walking the streets and picking their teeth. Why can’t they do this in the privacy of their own homes? WHY!? WHY!? I just don’t understand. *The shoes are made by DuckFeet style: Jylland {you can get a $30 off coupon HERE}. Someone always asks. Goal #11 — Run, Walk or Crawl a 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon Hey! I have picked out not only a 5k Turkey Trot but a half marathon as well. Looks like this goal will be wrapped on Thanksgiving. Saaaweet! Goal #12 — Read or Listen to 26 New Books {17 down, 8 to go} I finished Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and highly recommend it. And also requested a few more audiobooks. Currently on Request: I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron Mr. Churchill’s Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley Books I’ve Read or Listened to So Far This Year: Marilla of Green Gables #1 Still my favorite The Great Alone #2 The Aviator’s Wife #3 Before We Were Yours #4 Secrets of a Charmed Life #5 Where’d You Go, Bernadette #6 Carnegie’s Maid #7 The Gown #8 Unbroken #9 The Alice Network #10 The Shape of Mercy #11 Will’s Red Coat #12 Big Little Lies #13 Bunny Mellon {Doesn’t count because it was my second time} On Writing {Doesn’t count because it was my third time} Walden Finder’s Keepers Delicious! Following Atticus Goal #13 — Try 52 New Recipes. 24 down, 30 recipes to go. OCTOBER. October is going to be my month for cooking! Goal #14 — Clean Up 52 Old Recipes on the Blog 9 down, 44 to go. I’ll get crackin’ once fall {and cooler temps} come around. Goal #15 — Fill 100 Canning Jars 48 down, 52 to go. I won’t be able to get any canning done in the next few weeks but I am planning on getting some jam on the shelves for us to use on toast as well as to give away this Christmas. I’ll probably need at least another month to get settled in though. Oh! And get this. The new house has a root cellar… AND the perfect spot for storing canned goods. 😉 I’ll have to show you the space when I get some time. So far this year I’ve I canned: 7 jars Peach Jam 7 jars of Strawberry Jam 15 jars of Carrot Cake Jam 15 jars of Spiced Pear Jam 4 jars of Almond Pears. Goal #16 — Finish Furnishing Our House So here’s the funny thing…. Even though we sold the old house and a boatload of furniture, I am still keeping this goal. I already have my eye on some pieces for the family room and then all I need is a new bed and we’re good to go. The new place is much smaller than the old one and so getting the entire house furnished by the end of the year, is going to be a snap. High five for downsizing. Goal #17 – 52 Dates with the HH {28 down, 24 to go} We went to a fancy-schmancy restaurant to celebrate. 😉 Goal #18 — Take One Adult Education Class Done {I’ve taken 3!} I’m keeping the first class I took with my neighbor top secret for now {Mel know’s what it is though} 😉 Spoon Carving Class with Heather. Mini pottery lesson {I loved it! and now I want to sign up for a full class} Goal #19 — Secret {for now} Holiday Project The big reveal will be on Friday, November 1st. So now you know why I had to push back the date on the big reveal. I have all the supplies on hand to get started and my practice piece done, but I still have boxes to unpack and the need to get the majority of the house in order before I start on the main holiday project as its going to need it’s own little assembly line set up. Goal #20 — Create 12 Wowie Zowie Party Platters 5 down, 7 to go. Finally! I made some pickety bits. 😉 Goal #21 — Visit 12 General Stores 8 down 4 to go. So far this year we’ve visited: Chase’s Daily {I think it should count} Squam Lake Marketplace Harrisville General Store Dodge’s Store in New Boston, New Hampshire Zeb’s General Store in North Conway, New Hampshire Dan and Whit’s in Norwich, Vermont Hussey’s General Store in Windsor, Maine Goal #22 — Compete with Carole….. Get on My Front Door Game On I can still compete with Carole from afar, right? Once we get closer to Halloween I’ll hang Mrs. HB’s spectacular Halloween wreath she sent me. But for now, I’ll settle for a few pumpkins and a swag of Indian corn on the door. Front Door Bling I’ve Made So Far This Year to Compete with Carole: Late January : Valentine Heart Late February : Shamrock Late March : Giant Carrot May: White wave petunia hanging basket June/July: Tin Star and Flag Bunting August : Sunflower September: Indian corn and pumpkins ************** How about YOU? What are your goals for 2019? If you told us about them HERE, check in! We want to know how you are doing. Because seriously, it’s so much easier to get those goals checked off your list when you have people rooting for you! 🙂 Have a great day everyone, Mavis You can read more about my 22 goals for 2019 HERE.

60 Years Is Too Long To Be Without a Logo

A wooden nickel commemorating 60th Anniversary of the Saint John Coin Club of New Brunswick, Canada, features an image of the Marco Polo sailing ship.

The Saint John Coin Club of New Brunswick, Canada, formally celebrated the 60th anniversary of its 1959 founding at a special reception hosted on the eve of its annual coin show, which was held on May 26. Coincident with celebrating its 60th anniversary, the club had held a design contest to develop an official logo, according to the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association’s May 2019 issue of its RCNA NumisNotes monthly electronic newsletter.

Having gone without a logo for 60 years, it was determined that the logo’s centerpiece should be a representation of the 19th century sailing ship Marco Polo, built in Saint John, which, for a time, laid claim to being “the fastest ship in the world.” In commemoration of their anniversary, the club came up with a wooden nickel issue that represents the Marco Polo logo on the obverse and the anniversary information on the reverse. There were 225 examples of the issue created with blue print, along with a limited edition of just 25 examples in red. Info: [email protected]

ALASKA: The Fairbanks Coin Club’s monthly Minutes newsletter for April 2019 provided the latest report on the progress of its initiative, driven by member Dick Hanscom, to gain circulation release of the 2020 Native American $1-coin honoring Elizabeth Petratorovich on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act.

Alaska’s legislature has enacted a bill calling on the mint to provide two-million examples of the issue for distribution through the state’s banking system. Alaska officially observes Feb.14 as Elizabeth Petratorovich Day.

A group of youngsters from a local 4-H Club recently visited legislators in Juneau as part of its Youth in Governance Program to promote the initiative, their travels to the state capital being led by Jan Hanscom, with a planned trip ahead to Washington, D.C., to visit the state’s delegates at the federal level as well. Info: [email protected]

CALIFORNIA: A five-point outline of recommendations – The Backbone of Organized Numismatics – for enhancing the appeal of local coin clubs was presented in the January 2019 issue of NCNA Heads and Tales, the quarterly newsletter of the Northern California Numismatic Association newsletter, by editor Michael S. Turrini.

First, start the meeting on time; Second, finish before 9:00 p.m.; Third, provide healthy refreshments; Fourth, emphasize membership sharing with programs and show-n-tells; Fifth, good and welfare, sharing updates on the health, well-being and news of fellow members. “The objective,” Turrini notes, “is to enhance local club meeting’s enjoyment and education, onto and for all members and also visitors.” Info: [email protected]

ILLINOIS: In honor of its centennial, the Chicago Coin Club has inaugurated the CCC Hall of Fame under the leadership of Robert Leonard, to recognize “some of the prominent numismatists among its ranks over the past century.” In the January 2019 monthly Chatter newsletter, it was announced that J. Henri Ripstra, creator of many of the club’s early medal issues, is the first inductee. One member will be announced each month during 2019, forming the “Inaugural Class,” after which “the club’s board will develop the criteria for future membership, along with all of the other tasks in support of this endeavor.”

The anniversary planning committee has announced intentions to strike limited edition medals, one for the anniversary banquet in August, and an official 100th anniversary issue, along with a special commemorative for the 1,200th meeting in January, and a souvenir sheet for the club’s Saturday ANA convention meeting in August. Info: www.ChicagoCoinClub.org

NEW MEXICO: The Albuquerque Coin Club’s spring show was a record breaker according to a report carried in the May 2019 issue of their monthly Pocket Change newsletter. The show was held on April 5-7 at a new venue, the Marriott Pyramid Hotel, with all tables sold and occupied by dealers drawn from six states. Attendance was recorded as 700 paid admissions, including 64 weekend passes, and 105 kids.

The success was attributed in no small part to “the sweat of 34 volunteers” ranging from show chair Rod Frechette to Steve Acre who shouldered set up and tear down crew responsibilities. Their fall show is scheduled for the same venue on November 15-17. Info: [email protected]

OKLAHOMA: The Oklahoma Numismatic Association announced in the January-March 2019 issue of its quarterly Mint Luster that its fall 2019 show, hosted in Tulsa by the Magic Empire Coin Club, is taking the leap of committing to larger, more expensive quarters. The show will be held at the Stoney Creek Hotel conference center on Sept. 6-8; for more than 20 years it has been hosted at the Elks Lodge.

In recent years many dealers have been turned away due to space limitations at the Elks Lodge. President Russell Doughty observed; “the decision to move was made purely from a desire to increase the number of tables and provide a more spacious atmosphere for the dealers and attendees.” Info: [email protected]

REGIONAL: The historical background, myth and Numismatic Brotherhood of St. Eligius, the Patron Saint of Numismatists, is featured in the Winter 2018-19 issue of The Centinel, the Central States Numismatic Society’s quarterly journal, a presentation authored by Scott E. Douglas.

Included are illustrations and documentation for an associated selection of celebratory medals issued by knights of the Saint Eligius Numismatic Brotherhood (established late 1980s). Individuals so honored are deemed to have contributed beneficially good works embracing the field of numismatics. Born in France (588-660 AD), Eligius became a skilled moneyer, a member of the royal court, and master of the mint at Marseille under emperor Clotaire II (584-629 AD). Info: [email protected]

A recent U. S. Mint outreach initiative was addressed in the Numismatic Association of Northern California’s May 2019 quarterly NCNA Heads and Tails publication, in editor Michael S. Turrini’s “Mintmaster’s Quill” message. A survey request exploring how the “improved the products and services” offered by the U.S. Mint generated his response. After noting his initiative to respond had been rejected as “not qualified for this survey” because no purchases had been made in the past 12 months, he observed; “Your survey rejects and refuses to acknowledge those who have quite candid and negative opinions and observations . . . you need to talk to, converse with, and listen to the ‘grass roots’, ‘the trenches’, of our hobby . . . that have shut the door to anything, or most anything, the world’s largest coin dealer, the U. S. Mint might offer.” Info: [email protected]

SPECIALIZED: On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, editor Maria Fanning has assembled a monumental 96-page Summer 2019 commemorative issue of The Asylum, the organization’s quarterly journal. More than 24 authors provide insightful perspectives on the origins, impact and history of the organization from its founding during a dinner meeting gathering in St. Louis during that year’s ANA convention. Incorporated are chronicles of the first 100 NBS members compiled and annotated by Pete Smith, and another detailing NBS award recognition recipients authored and referenced by Joel Orosz. Info: [email protected]

A jam packed “jumbo” April 2019 issue of the John Reich Journal “totaling 52 pages instead or our usual 40,” editor Bradley Karoleff informs, because he was “fortunate to have a group of wonderful articles submitted that were all longer than the average.” Among the articles are a couple census offerings, one embracing Capped Bust Half Dimes, the other Flowing Hair and Draped Bust Half Dimes. There’s also a detailed analysis of U.S. coins (1798-1834) recovered from the Steam Packet Pulaski. The loss of the Pulaski on June 14, 1838, sailing from Charleston to Baltimore and later branded “the Titanic of its time,” is a wreck that was discovered in January, 2018. The coins recovered were dominated by half dollars dated from 1805 to 1831. Info: [email protected]

Featured in the March 2019 issue of Talkin’ Tokens, the monthly journal of the National Token Collectors Association is an article featuring “Some Oddball Tokens” by Dan Anderson. An enthusiast of Iowa trade tokens, he’s also a fan of oddball offerings, which “some might not even consider . . . to be trade tokens.” Among the presumptive “Good For” token examples described and illustrated are a Rich Cross blacksmithed issue, an Apple Orchard Inn handmade piece cursively written on a cut slice of an apple tree branch,, a Cedar Rapids Jiffy Lube punch out promo piece, a square rubber/plastic Harry’s Place refrigerator magnet, along with round ones from The Lounge in Dubuque, and a Inda-Clar “One Buck Wampum” holed commemorative, with rawhide straps inserted and a safety pin attached on the back for pinning to a shirt or suit lapel.
