Usually I’m already a couple hours in on cooking prep and baking for Thanksgiving. But between COVID and my dad passing away, there is no holiday for us this year.
I am cooking a small turkey for me and mom but that’s about the extent of it.
My main goal tomorrow will be to keep my mom occupied and hopefully from breaking down.
Today is #worldcoinwednesday and I’m going to share with you a nice coin from France. It’s an 1888 A one franc silver coin. It’s been graded by NGC and has been given an MS63 grade.
