Six Months! - The Red Sox

Yesterday Henry turned six months old! It is hard to believe, but we've made it through his first summer. This morning I saw him get just a little closer to crawling. As Meg put it, "it he's going for a cell phone or a remote control he can move fast." He likes electronics, I guess. He also seems to be handling a small cold he got pretty well too.

Last night I went to a Red Sox game with a fellow coin hunter, Chris. We didn't have any coin finding face off, but had a good time at the game. I got to see how a pro gets players' autographs and enjoyed some good seats. I say seats because we switched seats about seven times. I let Chris do all the talking and just enjoyed the results. All the seats we sat in were far better than the ones we had tickets for, most were perfect and better than anything I had enjoyed before. They were great to watch all of the Red Sox offensive power that was one display throughout the game.

I did some coin roll hunting this morning. 760 quarters, 100 dimes, and 40 nickels turned up five Canadians and one East Caribbean States 25¢.

In the morning at the bank someone gave me a silver quarter, 1951D, and a teller saved me two Wheat pennies (1941, 1951).

Found: 7 pennies (outside Fenway Park), 2 nickels (1 at Home Depot, 1 outside Fenway Park), 2 dimes (outside Fenway Park), 2 quarters (1 at Sovereign Bank, 1 outside Fenway Park), 1 token (a Princess Cruise token ... I sure seem to be finding a lot of these. Am I being told to go on a cruise?)

Forgive the ignorance, but what are these?

No problem. They're tokens one buys on ships run by the Prince Cruise Line. Presumedly one can use them on the ship to play games, about the size of quarter. I found them on four separate occasions now.

Ta for that.
