We are on the road seatching out antique hops to find treasures for the Tea Room. Being a frugal person, I took a detour to avoid tolls on the Interstate.

Canadians know about the elimination of the penny. I was surprised that it made the news in the schools in North Carolina where some of our grandchildren live.
