Found a Mess of Dollar Bills!

I know it's been awhile since I last posted (2 months to the day), and that's normal for me. So no biggie. Right? 

My one big find in these past 2 months was one day when I was walking into a store. I was in the parking lot, almost to the doors of the store. On the pavement, I noticed a white envelope, like you get from a bank or credit when you withdraw cash. So... I scooped it up. 

I was actually excited thinking it might be full of big bills, and lots of them! And my mind next went to:  "Well, I'm sorry if someone lost this if it has lots of cash inside. What would I do then?"

I looked inside, and it had six bills inside, which isn't bad. But they were all dollar bills. So, that's okay. I wasn't worried about someone losing that amount of money and immediately thought, "Okay, I can keep this money without much worry about who lost it."

I mean, sure, if someone really needed it, that would be sad, but it's not as sad as if they lost $120 (if the 6 bills had all been twenties and not ones). 

Anyway, I got over all that right quick and felt lucky! 

In addition to the $6 I found, I found quite a bit of change:  $3.80 worth! That makes $9.80 I found in 2 months. And that's a lot to me in that amount of time. 

Oh, and I found a Mexican coin. Yay! Love finding foreign coins. 

I'm gearing up to make some found object robots and will be using a rotary tool to help me out. We'll see how it goes. 

So, what about you? Found any money lately?

July and the Found Money Is Piling Up

Whoops! I just checked and I last posted in early April. So sorry! Here it is almost August and I finally decided last night I had to tidy up my coinage so I could claim the table again where I keep my tiny bowl where I put my found money.

So, here we go.

As you can see from the photo, I found two dollar bills plus a bunch of coins since April. In total I found $10.70! Woo hoo!!

That makes $36.52 found so far this year. Love it!

Have you been watching the Olympics? I'm so not a sports fan but for some reason I like to watch the individual events every four years. How about those skateboarders? I find all that stuff fascinating. Like how they make the board jump and then they land on it and keep rolling. Or how when they fall they don't break everything.

How about you? Have you found any money lately?

Biting My Nails Till This Election Is Over

I don't know about you but I am SICK and TIRED of seeing and hearing the election ads and lies and BS. And I'm REALLY sick and tired of the current occupant of the White House. 

He has to go.

I've got my fingers (and toes and eyes) crossed that Biden wins. By a huge, huge, huge margin.

So, enough of that. 

What are we here for? Oh yeah, my found money. It's been almost two months since I last posted here. And in that time I've found $9.15! 

Love, love, love finding money!

As you can see, I found three, count 'em!, three dollar bills! Woo hoo. And I found a whole bunch of coins. I just love to find money!

It's been so dry here, not much rain lately at all. So, I got some of this stuff and it's helping my scaly skin feel a tad more like sand than sandpaper. Not healed but better. A lot better. 

Do you have alligator skin like me? 

I hope you're hanging in there and doing well. Take care and look down. You might find some money!
