Found a Penny in the Fresh and Easy Parking Lot

Today I headed out despite the high temperature predicted to be 112. Ugh. I hate summers in Phoenix. Anyway, I went to the post office, the library, then to my son's house. I took brunch. Bacon, waffles, fried potatoes, peaches, and grapes. Yum! Then I went to get my hair cut, but I didn't find any money. 

Then I went to Fresh and Easy. When I got out of my car, I spotted this penny in the parking space next to my car. Yay! I brought it home and took this photo of it. Yes, I support Obama, but I'll be really glad when the election is over and done.  My sister gave me this bookmark 4 years ago.

Have you found any money lately?

Guest Blog -- Famous Found Money!

Since I'm having a found money dry spell and my friend Lori, who lives in Maryland, told me about some pretty special found money, I asked her if she wanted to be a guest blogger. She said sure!

So, here's the picture and Lori's great description of this famous found money. Thanks, Lori!

Attached is THE photo showing the found money at Ben's Chili Bowl in SE DC - this is the same Ben's Chili Bowl where Bill Cosby and Obama dine on chili dogs and cheese fries. Now, I was quite surprised to go into the ladies room and find a penny! That's right -  one red cent! I have no idea what story that one penny could tell but decided to leave it there for someone else to enjoy and imagine about. Not sure, either, what it says about the economy but the fact that it was still there gives me some optimism that people aren't counting pennies as they once were!
