Found a Penny in an Alley (without my magnet)

It's been hot here in Phoenix, I mean really hot. A couple of days this week broke the 100°F mark. Ugh. Too hot, too soon. But really just plain too hot! But this morning I stepped outside and it was nice. Really pleasant with a slight breeze, so I checked the temperature online and it was 74°! 

So, I decided to take a little walk while it wasn't blistering out. It's supposed to get up to 93° today, which is still hot so I headed out this morning. 

I didn't take my magnet, but I did walk a few blocks then went down an alley where I spotted this penny! Yippee!

As I walked through the alley, looking for good junk (and more money), I happened to look up (sometimes I don't and wonder later what I missed). I saw this whirly gig thing made out of junk in someone's backyard. I love it!

How is your weather? Have you found any money to tell us about? We'd love to hear!

Found Three Cents

Today I was feeling antsy so I took a walk. I needed to mail a bill so I walked to the closest drop box, which is about three or four blocks away, I think. I didn't count. On the way there, I found a penny.

Then I decided to check out Goodwill. I found a few vintage linens as shown in the photo:  an embroidered pillowcase and a 1980 linen calendar. It's faded but lovely! And isn't that sad that something from 1980 is considered vintage?

I didn't find any money at Goodwill but I did donate my 2 cents in change when I paid.

Then I went to Big Lots! which is right next door to Goodwill. I found 2 pennies on the floor there! I also got some delicious Krusteaz cranberry-orange muffin mix, like this one.


Where do you find money more often? Outside, on the street, sidewalk, or parking lot more or do you find it inside stores or other places inside?
