Owl-related collectibles are fairly popular. Owls symbolize wisdom and intelligence in some countries. The largest collection of owl material was a gentleman in Israel. He has passed away but his collection of over 20,000 pieces is maintained by family.
Currently, specialists recognize 254 species of owl. The largest owl can be as much as 10 lbs.
I love watching the documentaries about ancient times. This Egyptian-themed vase is ten inches tall and has five layers of 1/4" and 3/4" thick wood.
Scratch off Lottery Tickets
A few posts ago, I mentioned purchasing $100 worth of Scratch-off lottery tickets for fun. After I posted that I decided to include my daughter and her husband in on the fun so I purchased $200 worth of tickets. So here is how we did.
We had fun. That's my story and I am sticking to it. We divided up the stack of cards and got busy scratching. Let me say now that the bingo type of cards are for folks who like to play games like Monopoly because they take forever to scratch. I gave mine to my daughter. She has way more patience than me. Did I mention that we had fun?
Fun, honest it was fun. I'm not sure that the winnings were part of the fun though. I did not count the total tickets but there were quite a few. Of those few even fewer were winners. Four tickets paid off for a total of $25. My net financial loss was $175.00. Did I mention that we had fun? 😪
