Week 3: A Penny for Your Thoughts

   They say the value of copper in a penny is now worth more than the value of the penny as cash. How often do we find something that is worth more than it's value?  When it comes to thoughts and ideas, perhaps that makes sense. This week's book-of-the week is a nod to the current economic climate and is titled A Penny for Your Thoughts.
What thoughts are inside this little book?
The book has a cut-out circle window that passes through each page until the back page where the circle is filled with the picture of a Lincoln penny...

An array of colored pages with windows that open to the penny
Simple thoughts in this complex world of conflict and turmoil.. just simple colors and the images they elicit to the imagination...

Brown page for chocolate and coffee and cocoa... All Yum!

White page for pearls and fluffy clouds and snowy days...

Each page a different color.. pink for tutus, rosy cheeks and rabbits' eyes; purple for royalty, violets and pansies; beige for beach sand and vanilla pudding; turquoise for Indian jewlery and The Blue Mosque; light blue for summer skies, cornflowers, and fields of tiny bluebells...
Daydreams, really, just daydreams. That's what you get for a penny.
...Unless you weigh it.
