Chris (monte carlo 3831).... After reading the last few pages of yesterday's blog, I think you need to hold on to the old 1940's and 50's tin doll houses for now. I think you need to do this right and get each one appraised for it's proper value. I did a quick search on ebay. Depending on the condition, some of them are selling for $150-$200 each. Granted some on ebay are going for around $50 each. But you have 14 of them.

Seriously Chris, this is the kind of story you see on that Antiques Road Show tv show. You always hear of people who bought some rare and valuable antique at a yard sale for $1.00 Don't be the guy who lost out on a fortune because you were in a hurry to get rid of the stuff.

Don't know why, but just found that funny.

We used to use the crock pot all the time. But kinda got away from it. Now the George Foreman grill is getting used a lot. Don't like having to scrape it with that plastic fork thingy though.

Ashley, we got the same system here in Windsor/Detroit. I said a dusting. But it was more like an inch at most. How much did you get?

Just got the mail delivery. Now my family can all see the new 2012 Monte of the Month calendars. I was afraid they wouldn't make it today. They turned out nice Taz and RJ. No complaints here. Great that I am June Monte considering thats my birthday month. Now when they flip to June, they will be reminded my birthday is coming. HA HA.
Oh and Space, we got some silver pot.
Happy Holidays everyone....Crock pot responsibly
