This ⬆️ is one of the jolliest pictures I have ever seen.
If you have been following along the last few months, you might remember 
and I are engaged in a fun little game of one-ups-manship. The ups are ever so slight each time. Let’s have a quick review of the timeline. ☺️

Six Months Ago
As a result of THIS post (who was filled with mirth and merriment) nominated me into the #steemsilvergold community and gifted me lead tier membership to the community’s voting bot for a month. Super unexpected. Super generous. He plays the role of community pirate, but is really the biggest softy on steemit. ☺️
Well, I wasn’t going to let this kindness pass unanswered.

As a thank you for the gift of #ssg membership, I sent a little silver round. None other than Canada’s Wayne Gretzky! Check out the post HERE

As an aside, not only did this gift make us “even”, but it also led to this serendipitous interaction.

Well, if you know you know a couple of things.
- He likes to have fun.
- He is super generous.
- He doesn’t know the word even. 😄
Of course he sent a response to my thank you gift. If you’d like to see the whole post about it, click HERE. His gift to me, a 1.5oz Royal Canadian Mint artic fox. In typical style he ups the ante from 1oz to 1.5. 😄

Before had launched his last volley, I already had a silver bullet in the chamber and set to deploy. My answer to his gift was swift. I had found something that seemed the perfect gift (especially considering our locations and nationalities). HERE is the post about the TWO OUNCES of silver I sent ’s way.
Peace Arch is a monument designed by Sam Hill that sits directly on the US/Canada border.
I must have done well with this gift. seemed pleased and to my pleasure he was temporarily stumped in coming up with a reply. 😃

Yesterday
Yesterday I received a parcel in my mail from ! Always exciting and I was eager to get into the thing. Let’s have a peek.
First a postcard! I collect postcards and love Vancouver.
As always a lovely and clever note. 🐺 🐻
Ingenious packaging to throw off the customs agents! I also LOVE this CD.
SIDE NOTE Here is video I took last year at the Guns n Roses concert at the Gorge Amphitheater! 9/3/2017 - Gorge Amphitheater: George, WA Welcome to the Jungle.
And now for the goods. ☺️
TWO COINS!!!
just initiated the perfect baby up. In response to me sending him one 2oz round, he sent me TWO coins totally 2.25oz of .9999 silver. Well played !
First up, a 1.5oz Royal Canadian Mint .9999 pure grizzly! Look at it roar! Issued in 2017, this coin has an $8 face value.
Next coin comes in at 0.75oz! Also .9999 pure, this 2016 $2 coin features two wolves howling at the moon! I love RCM coins, and these are two wonderful additions to my stack.
Thank you so much !
