Family Bonding.....

A few weeks ago I went to Fort Worth for a quick trip to visit my Wells family. Brooke had made some bags that I needed to deliver and I just needed a few days with my girls! Kent's dad recently passed away and so Kent has been going through his things. Well, when I was up there I help clean out and go through boxes and boxes full of coins. And I mean BOXES! Have you ever been up late at night and seen the infomericals for the State Quarter collections or any of the other Coins that were sold in special display cases with an official certificate?? That's what all these boxes were full of! Harold obviously knew what he was doing b/c everything was kept in "MINT" condition! Kent had located a Coin Collector on Craig's List and so on Friday the house became a "show and share" bank to see if any of it was worth anything. Much to Kent's (and Brooke's) surprise the guy walked away with a lot and left $1800 worth of bills in Kent's hot little hand. He also said he may come back for more if what he had sold. While there he told us that all the State Quarters were worth "about a quarter!" SO began the bonding.....each quarter was in a small plastic case and then of course we had to wrap them before taking them to the bank. I would guess probably 5 hours and $800 later we were done! Absolutely CRAZY to think we wrapped $800 dollars worth of quarters! Thanks for the memory, Harold!
