A New Home for The Gas Grill

I can't remember why I wanted a huge gas grill. It is hardly used. My BBQing skills are wanting. The grill and its cover looks like a monstrosity on our patio. I tried to sell it on Craigslist. It had some responses, but no takers. So, I have donated it to the community garden where I am a member.

The Loose Change Collection

In my pursuit of shedding things I no longer want to maintain, I am letting go of the loose change collection. My sons and I rolled up the coins. In the cache, we found three Canadian coins and one Chuck-E-Cheese token.

Brian found a 1946 Lincoln Wheat Penny. I went to ebay it to see if it was of any value. I think he struck gold!

We ended up with the grand fortune of $60.60 which I have taken to the bank so that it can earn interest and make us wealthy. I went to a savings calculator to see the mighty power of compound interest.
