Today’s blog is brought to you by the extinct penny. In February 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies to financial institutions. At that time I was working for a large credit union in Saskatchewan. A few months later I resigned. The two events had nothing to do with each other but the CEO acknowledged my resignation and tied the two together in his update to staff.
Like most, we still have a few of these coins but for the most part you don’t see the one cent around too much in Canada.
Yesterday we went out for lunch. Stephen gave me a Mother’s Day gift that just keeps giving. It was a gift card for downtown Kingston. What a perfect gift!! Today’s choice was Copper Penny. It felt like coming home. 😂
We enjoyed a good lunch and were not disappointed with our stop.
We came home after our Kingston errands were completed and Penny, the neighborhood cat arrived at 8:30 for her evening meal.
Oh and one more Penny thing…a few months ago I asked my cuz if she made bubble bath. Denise makes soaps, bath bombs, creams and so much more at her SOAP SHACK. She said that she doesn’t anymore but a little while later she showed up with this!
The penny may be extinct but the name lives on. I’m thankful that Ron kept this old coin around!
