Found 11 Cents on a Walk

I took a walk and found a penny beside the sidewalk in some dirt then found another penny in a parking lot. 

As I was walking to my place, I found a small pile of debris in a parking space. In the pile were four pennies and a nickel! These coins are a mess as you can see from the photo. Oh well, good enough for my found money jar!

Happy Labor Day, everyone! Hope you all get to rest at least part of the day.

Ran Errands, Took a Stroll, Found Money!

This morning I had to run to the post office then went to Fresh and Easy for a few things. I found a penny in the change tray and a penny in the parking lot! I waited all day to write this blog post because I was editing and just didn't take the time to do it. I'm glad I waited. 

I took a stroll (that's just like a walk, in case you were wondering) a little after 6 this evening, and right away in a neighboring apartment building parking lot I found this nickel. At first I thought it was one of those flat batteries, but nope, it was a nickel! 

I walked on and spotted another penny in another apartment building parking lot. 

There is a lot of money out there to be found! Have you found any of it this week?

Oh, I sold one of these Math Teachers Believe in Angles Christmas tree ornaments today! But don't worry, there's lots more where it came from!

Took a Walk and Found Two Pennies

This evening I headed out and took a little walk. I walked a different route than usual and walked down a street lined with palm trees. It's really pretty (I mean, that's the only good part but it's nice, especially from a distance). 

As I was walking along, I saw a penny in the street near the gutter. Then I walked on and went to the office building parking lot I got to a lot and found another penny there. 

I've been making more Zazzle products using scans of vintage handkerchiefs. Here is one I really like:

Found 8 Cents Today

Today I got booted out of a drug study (nothing personal, I assure you). So, on the way home, I stopped a few places and found some money! Yay!

I stopped first at McDonald's for coffee and a sausage burrito. On the way to my car I strolled through the drive through and found 2 pennies and a nickel! Then I stopped at a shopping center and found another penny! 

I also went to Fresh and Easy and Sprouts but didn't find any money there. What about you? Lucky lately in the found money department?

Took a Walk and Found Two Coins

Today I took a walk since the high is only supposed to be 89. It was humid out though since it rained over night. It did feel good to stretch my legs though. I walked several blocks then turned to make a square to head back home. I passed by some really pretty flower bushes. Here's one, a desert bird of paradise bush. Such pretty flowers!

Then I walked through a couple of office building parking lots. I found this penny but am sort of surprised I saw it. It is so black that it blended in really well.  


Then when I was almost home, I saw this nickel in my parking lot.

Have you found any coins or paper money lately?

Found a Penny in a Parking Lot

Today I ran a few errands. First I went to Fry's for a few things. I spotted this penny imbedded in the tar in the parking lot. Dang! Stuck. Couldn't get it out. I even used a key to try to dig it out. Nope. Stuck.

Then I went to the post office. Nothing there. 

Then I hit Fresh and Easy. On my way out of the store, walking to my car, I saw this penny in the parking lot. Yippee!

Banner Day Finding Money!

Today I hit pay dirt! At a shopping center, I found a dime in front of a water machine (where you can fill jugs with reverse osmosis water), then I spotted 2 pennies near the curb then 2 more dimes in the parking lot! 

Then I went to the post office and found a penny on the floor. Two people were in line in front of me at the same window, and both missed it (or saw it and didn't care). 

But I'm glad because it's mine, all mine! 33 cents worth!
