What happened to all those pennies?
The pennies are gone. Other than the handful you may still have wedged in between the couch cushions or lost in the abyss (aka the purse) somewhere, they are no longer wanted...although students from across Canada would tell you they are still needed.

What’s Fresh at the Farmer’s Market: Strawberries
Immediately after reading this post, run (don't walk) to the nearest possible place you can buy locally-grown strawberries.

Prepping for Canada Day at Walmart
When the kind folks from Walmart contacted me in mid-June to ask if I'd be willing to take a challenge and blog about it, I was intrigued.
