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.

Sunday - While returning from visitng family for Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh, we stopped for dinner in Frederick, Maryland at JRs Pizza on Patrick Street. I found a dime as I was getting out of the car.

Tuesday - After dropping James off at daycare, I returned home to work on my paper for school and found a penny on the doorstep leading into our apartment building.
