Ashes

I'll be stopping all the auctions next Monday.  I am driving my mother to Colorado to visit my brother and sister-in-law.  He is building a box to hold dad's ashes.  There will be two medallions on the box.  One for organ donation and the other from the US government for his service in the army during the Vietnam War.  We will be gone for two to three weeks.  Mom needs some time to be away and relax.  Time to mourn as well.  We have been working so hard to fix up the house ourselves and sell the microscope equipment that neither of us has had time to process it all.  In addition, one of her younger brothers died in April.  Since she is 72 years old, she can't make the drive alone.  When we get back we will put the auctions back up on ebay and I'll resume posting more on the blog.  Thanks to all of you for following along and all your help.  I'll be back soon.
