Oh my ...sigh ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Al & I went to our traditional 20 yrs plus Stoneware Auction. The prices over the years have gone astronomical. Majority of the first 25 items never hit below $1,000. The first item went for $20,000, which is below, but there was a 10% premium added on to the price plus tax if applicable.!!! We bought the Blind Pig!!! A pygg jar(misread by a potter as a pig) was a container made out of clay & was used for storage of salt, wine, monies, etc.

Later, Dag (thanks for the push call) & I were able to sneak in a shy 20 miler. Actually it does not take up too much time. It makes you feel soooo much better - mentally, physically - combined with the knowledge of gross weather over the next 48 hrs. The snow better quit inching its way down south into central PA. Wishful hope; April 21 - 29 is looking good with sunshine peaks & 60's!!
