Just ONE more Princess photo!
Ava said to me yesterday, "The baby will come out of there (and points to me belly) , and I will be a big sister." She's going to be a great big sister, and such a help for Mommy. We are teeter tottering between 2 names. I said to Grandma Sheri, "I think Craig likes Ashley Rose." And Ava replied, "No. Abbey Rose!" Oh boy. I don't know why I'm so stuck on "A" names. Beats me. Oh yeah, I remember now....I put "A. Rinker" on all of Ava's clothes. hahahaha Jokes on me. Naw...that was just a joke in itself.

We are excited to go visit with Daddy, Ava's cousins & Aunt & Uncle, and Grandpa and Grandma next week in Seattle!

When You Wish Upon A Star.........

.....you get my Princess Ava!

What's with the chipmunk cheeks?

I just had to post these pictures of Ava, because she rarley "hams" it up for the camera...plus she gave me her special"popeye" smile, too. She's getting too big! But, GOOD NEWS! I secured my first listing! Hooray for me! (with some help from Dad, too) Now, all I need to do is sell it...yah, good luck, huh? Let's hope for the right pricing to find an interested buyer....wish me luck!

So, you basically cannot see the date on this coin at all....but I tried. Here's the story: (Zack's gonna love this!) I was in my physical therapy for about 40 minutes, and when I came out, right next to my car was this bright shiny coin. It looked fake to me, at first. I looked around the street, to see if anybody was looking on the ground, etc...when I picked it up, I noticed how heavy it was, and it's size is an inch and a 1/2 in diameter. Then I looked at the date: 1881. I did a double take...like the cartoons. I thought to myself, "Naw...it looks too shiny to be that old. Must be a fake, or something." Didn't think much about it again, until a few days later, I remembered I had it, and showed it to some friends. They told me to look it up, and see what it's worth. Come to find out, it IS real. It's a real silver dollar from 1881, and a used coin like this goes for $150-200 on Ebay. Can you believe it?!? The ones that are packaged up nicley with certificates and such go for $700-$800! And this coin is in GREAT shape! Craig told me, "Shine that baby up, and sell it!" My lucky day, I guess. I've been very lucky since I've turned my life around, or should I say very blessed. I keep getting little rewards like this dropping into my lap...I must be living my life right! Good Karma!
