Many years ago--I believe for Christmas of 1999--Meme and Grandpa Edward gave Austin, Andrew, and Abby each wooden plaques to save and display the statehood quarters. They all began their collections--actually, Meme started them off with five quarters, I think, and then they started collecting themselves. The boys lost interest a long time ago--I am sure they have spent their quarters!

Abby, on the other hand, has faithfully been collecting quarters over the years and adding them to her Liberty Bell Plaque. Today, she and I ate lunch at Pizza Hut. Lo and Behold, our change include the elusive Hawaii Quarter--the last one she needed to fill her Liberty Bell!

Abby was pretty excited to FINALLY have all 50 quarters, so, of course, it deserved it's own blog post! Here is Abby with her COMPLETED collection of all 50 statehood quarters!

~~~Thanks to Meme and Grandpa Edward for a gift she will cherish forever!

Morgan has been saving too. She doesn't have the nifty Liberty Bell - what a lasting gift that was! Morgan has missed a few quarters along the way. Hopefully she can find them soon!
Way to go, Abz!

Way to go Abz! I remember when you recieved the Liberty Bells from Meme & Edward.....your persistance paid off.
Abby - the Liberty Bell looks so awesome! Great job collecting them over the years.
