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).

Stopped at a Stoplight and Found a Quarter

Today I drove through Paradise Valley, a ritzy part of the Phoenix metro area. I was stopped at a stoplight and spotted this quarter lying on the street next to my car. I unbuckled my seat belt, opened the door and snatched it up! I guess they don't toss those pesky old pennies. No, in Paradise Valley a quarter is a pesky little coin!

I'm joking but this is the second time I've found money at this same intersection. The other coin was a dime. Both are silver. I'm fine with it!
