Our House: The Money Pit

Penny for your thoughts

In one of my first blogs, I mentioned Joel's attic collections. We have a coffee tin filled with coins...the earliest is a penny from 1889(?). Then there is a bag filled with International money. Tonight, we went to Barnes & Noble tonight for fun excursion in an air conditioned locale. I found little books designed for collecting coins. Marissa and I have been sorting through Joel's pennies to place the nicest ones in the books. Maybe we will move on to nickles, dimes, then quarters. Joel thinks that he as a board somewhere in London that displays the coins. As far as I'm aware, Marilyn has completely purged her house of Joel's childhood memorabilia. I hope that it wasn't lost!

That sounds much more fun than stripping paint! But I guess remodeling is more rewarding in the end. --or maybe your pennies are worth millions of pennies...

I doubt that these pennies are worth much. None are in "mint" condition. Aunt Diane has been sending Aidan quarters, which are all perfect and unused. Maybe his grandchildren will benefit from that collection.

Hope that you and the parents are having a good time in CO.
