I discovered several machine plates this weekend while cleaning out the garage. How they arrived currently eludes me but they are really pretty. They are etched out of 1/8 steel with black paint and have real substance to them. I love the way the design in a very matter of fact way says Sterlinger Makes Machines. Anyone in Warren, Michigan who knows about the company is encouraged to fill us in on the current condition of Sterlinger. I called the number on the plate but it was disconnected. An official Puny "No Prize" is waiting for you.

Julia organized an egg coloring party this evening. Here are the highlights!
