My mother-in-law lost a lot interest in life after fifteen years of widowhood. She had put together five sets of state quarters for the grandchildren earlier, with a partial set yet to finish.
I sent her five rolls of quarters, (sans westys), one of those colorful, educational, date-set folders for the NPs, and a magnifying glass.
I received this pic today:

    It's never too late to collect coins. The proper name for this series is "America the Beautiful" or "ATB" since not every coin shows a national park. There are 63 National Parks and 20 states do not have any national park. B)

    Enjoying coins never required sophistication. I am glad that he is there to dissuade her use of Elmer’s “to keep them in the holes” as previously. She’s out of the BarcaLounger. I sent her the magnifying glass as well.
