Today I took a long walk to a shopping center and scoped out nearly the whole parking lot. I spotted a quarter under the front of a car! Then I went to Fry's grocery store and used the self-checkout register. In the tray were three pennies!

I was pleased with my finds, but just now I went out for a quick walk around the block. I found a penny in front of my door as I walked outside then found a dime in the street. Woo hoo, I thought! Lucky me. 

Then when I came back inside my complex, I spotted another quarter in the driveway area.

I Couldn't Not Find Money Today!

Today I drove to my son's house to spend time with all three grandkids. I found a bunch of money today. Here's the where and what of today's found money (that I just kept finding!):

• 1 penny - It was in the street next to a car in front of me while we were stopped at a stoplight. No one was behind me so I put the car in park, hopped out, and picked it up!
• 1 quarter and 2 one-dollar bills - I found the black quarter on the floor at Goodwill then a little later found two $1 bills on the floor. Score!
• 3 pennies - I spotted these on the floor of the grocery store on the way home.
• 10 pennies, 1 nickel, 2 dimes, and 1 quarter - I walked around the parking lot here when I got home and first found a dime and quarter then was picking up some trash to take to the dumpster. I lifted a plastic bag lying on the ground and out fell the 10 pennies, nickel, and other dime!

That's a grand total of $2.89!

I feel like I should go somewhere else today. Several more places! I just kept finding money!
