6 Special Deliveries Today!

When we checked the mail today, I had a letter from another little boy that's also doing the same homeschool lessons I am.  His name is Caleb, and he went with his family to see the Columbus Fleet replicas in Corpus Christi, and they were so nice to send me a penny from there featuring The Nina, The Pinta and the Santa Maria.  We studied those in school recently so I knew all about them!

Then, my Uncle Daniel came over and brought me some pressed pennies that my Grandpa Steve got while in Cleveland, OH.  They were from a machine actually listed in Broadview Heights, OH.  I got two from the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Museum, one from Cleveland Harbor, one from Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and one from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Six new pennies today!

What a great penny day!  Thank you Caleb and Grandpa Steve!

Three New Pennies from Friends!

A couple of week ago, my friend Sarah and her family sent me a Billy the Kid Penny from New Mexico.  My dad told me all about who Billy the Kid was!

Then, today I received a package in the mail from my friends Elise and Mattias... they had recently been to San Francisco on vacation and brought me a penny from the zoo.  They also had celebrated Elise's birthday at Fossil Rim here in Texas and sent me a penny from there as well!

Hooray for nice friends and three new pennies to add to my collection!  Thank you!

Thank you, Kerry!

A family friend named Kerry sent me two pressed pennies in the mail.  One is 101 Dalmations and the other is Mickey and Minnie at the Boardwalk Resort at Disney World.  Very cool!  Thank you, Kerry!
