More RevGalsBlogPals fun

We made it down to Hahhhvahhhd but not down to the river for the regatta. Oh well. It was good to spend time wandering through Harvard Square with Celia. Their Divinity School library has lost the book I needed to check out (bummer!) but the walk through Harvard Yard was Very Interesting People Watching. Two crazy guys playing (poorly) with a rugby ball, lots of parents and their college kids, and a wide variety of alumni on campus for reunions.

We ended up in Urban Outfitters and the Harvard band marched by on the street - so random, but what fun! We ran outside and gawked like tourists! lol

For a snack we went to the Au Bon Pain. It was really nice until a smoker came and stood right next to our sidewalk table. He took lots of pictures as he stood there, ignoring how much I was coughing and hacking. The butternut apple soup was really tasty though!

Tonight I read up over at RevGalsBlogPals. They listed a fun Friday Five all about coins. Thought I'd play along:

1) When was the last time you flipped a coin or even saw one flipped in person?
Can't remember the last time I saw one flipped, but James and I flipped a two rand coin when making a decision about our house in Spring. Heads, the house in Imperial Oaks, Tails the house in Breckenridge Forest...

2) Do you have any foreign coins in your house? If so, where are they from?
Obviously we have some from South Africa! James has the big bowl of coins - Turkey, Greece, Vietnam, Cambodia, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Egypt, Canada...

3) A penny saved is a penny earned, they say. But let's get serious. Is there a special place in heaven for pennies, or do you think they'll find a special place in, well, the other place?
No and no.

4) How much did you get from the tooth fairy when you were a child? and if you have children of your own, do they get coins, or paper money? (I hear there may be some inflation.)
My parents didn't pay for teeth that I remember. Maybe just a quarter? My kids got golden dollar coins.

5) Did anyone in your household collect the state quarters? And did anyone in your household manage to sustain the interest required to stick with it?
James got the girls collector's maps, and they are almost filled up!
