Change Pot Tuesday

Change Pot Tuesday is a weekly recap of finding money that other people have lost. However, it is more than just picking up pennies and collecting lost change. For those readers and followers who have begun following the Change Pot midway, Change Pot Tuesday is about charity. When the Change Pot reaches $100, it will be donated to charity and the process will be started all over again. Loyal readers and followers will have an opportunity to help me choose which charity will receive the money accumulated in the Change Pot. While, I don't expect to change the world with the Change Pot, I do hope to help a charity in some small way.

Another disappointing week for the Change Pot. This week's finds were limited to two pennies. The first penny came on Wednesday at the All Star / Dairy Mart in Westover. I had stopped there to grab a drink after a doctor's appointment and found the penny as I got out of the car. The second penny came on Sunday. After working all day on getting the house backing in showing condition for the realtors, we all went to IHOP for dinner. When we entered, I scanned the floor around the cashier's counter and saw nothing. Yet, when I went to pay the bill after dinner, I found the penny on the floor. Did I miss it when we came in or did someone drop it in the time between our arrival and departure? Of course I want to say the latter, but after not finding a single penny the week before, it may be that I missed it and that I am slipping in my responsibilities to the Change Pot.

Weekly Total: $0.02
YTD Total: $6.19
