Leroy and Stamps

Hello, Leroy does spend time working on stamps at the museum every Monday. He and two or three other stamp aficionados work for three hours at a time. I think it has been about a year or more since they have been doing this. There are a lot of donated stamps for them to deal with. Today Leroy announced, “I am going to work on stamps today. I have not done that in a long time.” He got out a lot of stuff, spent a goodly amount of time arranging, and proceeded to change the mounts on many of his stamps. He acquired some good mounts, I do not know a good mount from a bad mount, from some one at the stamp club. In the old days he just got the cheapest that he could find. Now apparently those mounts are seriously showing their age. Leroy has a four-shelf book case full of stamps and the things that are necessary to deal with them. There are also at least two albums on the floor. Luckily here, he has a spare bedroom that he has claimed as his space. When we have lived in larger spaces, he has had a room that was just for his stamps. Then he could leave a table up strewn with stamps for days or weeks. I do not know if that will ever happen again. It seems we are in the downsizing part of life and not expanding.

Could Leroy ever give up his stamps? Paula
