Found 28 Cents and Finished Brooke Shields's Memoir

Today I rode my bike for a bit and found a quarter in the street first! Yay! This quarter is really dinged up so I think it might have been there a while getting run over repeatedly. But I saved it!

Then I found a penny in a parking lot then one on the ground next to some vacuums at a gas station. When I got home I found a penny in my parking lot. 

Earlier today I finished listening to the audio book of There Was a Little Girl:  The Real Story of My Mother and Me by Brooke Shields. I don't usually listen to books, but this one was read by the author and it was actually pretty good. What a gal her mom was (said with tongue firmly in my cheek).

Rainy Morning But Found 13 Cents This Afternoon

This morning I picked up a friend and we planned to go to the Desert Botanical Gardens but it was raining, hard. It didn't let up till after 1 p.m. so we shopped a little and had lunch out. Then we shopped a little more. It was a really nice diversion. 

Then this afternoon I took a walk and found 13 cents:

• one penny in the street
• two pennies and a dime on the grocery store floor

It was a good day. How was your day today?

I posed the found money next to some cute little dog patches that I just listed for sale in my Etsy shop. Woof!

Found 43 Cents Riding My Bike

Well, that's not exactly true. I found a penny in my parking lot when I took out my trash then when I rode my bike I found the other 42 cents, but who's counting?

Anyway, here's where I found the 42 cents:

• a dime and a nickel in a bank parking lot
• a quarter in the street
• two pennies in a fast food drive through lane

I was pretty happy I found all the major coins! It's a little trickier getting the money I find when I'm riding my bike. I often see it as I ride by then have to stop and walk back to get it. It's not a problem, just a little trickier.

I posed these coins with a postcard I got recently from a friend. She used the back of a Cheez Its box to make the postcard. I love it! The white cheddar flavor is my favorite!

What a Way to Start the New Year! Found $1.23

Today I needed some black-eyed peas to eat this new year day, so I walked to Fry's grocery store. It was a little chilly out; the high was only 46 but while I was moving, it felt pretty good. I'm so glad I went because I found $1.23 total!

Here's what and where:

• a quarter on a ledge under a soda vending machine outside the store
• 2 dimes and 2 quarters in the copier change tray inside the store
• a token (It says No Cash Value, so I'm not sure what it is.) and a Mexican 50 cent coin on the counter of the coin vending machine in the store
• a penny on the sidewalk in front of a Red Box movie machine outside the store
• a quarter in a drive through of a chicken joint
• a penny in front of the dumpster in my complex
• another penny but I can't remember where I found it!

I was thrilled to say the least to bring in the new year by finding 11 coins! I won't count the token dealie or the Mexican coin in my found money total, but it's still fun to find them!

I predict that 2015 is going to be a great year! Happy new year to you!

Found Three Pennies Today

Today I went to the post office, the library, and the grocery store. I found a penny in some rocks by chance while walking to the post office. I'm really surprised I saw it because it was dirty and the same brown as the rocks. It makes me think we walk by or over or on money all the time!

Then at the grocery store I found two pennies in two different spots. Yay! I love find money even if it's just pennies.

Zazzle is offering some new products. I've been having fun today making up some. Ping pong anyone?

Found Three Cents While at the Library and Grocery Store

I ran to the library today to return three books that were due today. They were Best Picks and couldn't be renewed. Oh well. I'd read two of them (After I'm Gone by Laura Lippman and Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen). I'll check out Frog Music by Emma Donoghue another time.

After I left the library I found a penny in front of some dumpsters. Then I went to the store and found two pennies on the floor. Yay!

Found Three Cents Today and am Sad

Well, I had a few days of not finding money but I hardly noticed. On Wednesday my sweet cat, Scarlett O'Hairy, died. If you'd like to read a little more about her, you can here. Needless to say, I've been in a funk. Down in the dumps. Low. 

This photo shows her helping me with a rock painting project a few years ago. She was such a good girl, and I already miss her so much.

But I was happy to find these pennies today, all at different places. 

I also found the junk in the photo:  a large bolt/screw, a little metal air cylinder thingie, an Allen wrench, a bullet cartridge, and a metal plug.

Found Lots of Junk and 3 Pennies

Today I walked to Goodwill since it's half off day, don't ya know! And on the way, I found a penny in the street then found a penny in the parking lot in front of a grocery store then another penny on the floor of the grocery store. I found some good treasures at Goodwill but no money there.

I did pick up the junk shown in this photo. I tend to do that as my little way of helping out the car tires. I figure each nail and screw and fork (yes, see that flattened fork?) I pick up, maybe one tire will be spared.

I throw the junk in a bag and recycle it for scrap (and get a whole 8 cents a pound!) when I take cans to recycle.

To see a vintage towel I snagged this morning, check out my Etsy shop. It's the blue and green towel with cool graphics.
