Grandma's Bike / The Quarter Can

A big hit at our house this weekend was Grandma's Bike. I have my electric mobility chair in the kitchen - compact, it can do a 90 degree turn, so works well there since I always seem to be spinning around when I cook or clean. Valerie saw it and exclaimed, " Grandma's new bike!" We had to laugh and hide the key.
Another big event this weekend was the ceremony of the opening of the can of quarters. Daniel and I have always had some sort of little saving stash ever since we were first married. Last year's can went toward our gas fireplace. Last night we counted $200.00 in quarters, rolled them ready to be banked toward our trip to Bolivia. Pretty good for one year. Sometimes it's the small things we do together that are so much fun! One of the joys of being married; you can plan and dream together even if it's a quarter at a time.

  • Did you already roll them up? Wow. I bet there were some good (coin collecting) quarters in there. Ouch.

  • Miguel... the coin collector. Where is the collection and Andy and I made in middle school. I might need to sell that someday.

    Is the new bike more portable? Man that old amigo weighed a ton and was a pain to take anywhere.
