Ya can't find 'em all! Obviously, Val's penny-hunting skill is on the fritz. Only one single solitary cent was captured this week. But not for a lack of trying...
THURSDAY, April 6, I was relieved to see my old friend, that dirty dirty rug at the Liquor Store. He did not disappoint.
That coin was waiting there just for me. So I photographed and harvested the meager crop.
It was a face-down 2003 penny, charming my phone camera into taking an in-focus picture on this filthy rug.
But wait! On my way out the door, I spied another treat.
Chillin' beside the freezer, next to the charcoal and lighter fluid. I got my photos.
But something seemed amiss! That was no penny!!! I put it in my pocket anyway. You know, so as not to appear a fool for photographing it. Turns out it was an old Milk Dud. Which I tossed out the window at the Gas Station Chicken Store.
Told you my penny-finding skill was on the fritz!

Hang in there Val! I'm sure your luck will soon change. Luckily that milk dud wasn't a wad of chewing gum like I first thought:)
ReplyDeleteA wad of chewing gum regularly tries to trick me on the parking lot of the Gas Station Chicken Store, but it's just a little too pink to be believable!
DeleteI wonder if the milk dud was happy at being loved for even such a short time.
ReplyDeleteBetter to have been loved a short time and cast out on the Gas Station Chicken Store parking lot than never to have been loved at all!
