I knew that my rate of penny-finding could not sustain itself. A dry spell is expected, even amidst the April showers we've been having here in Backroads.
MONDAY, April 15, I was surprised to find a penny waiting for me at Orb K.
It was a 2002 heads-up cent, there by the after-weekend depleted energy supplement rack. Looks like someone was too exhausted to find a wastebasket for their donut wrapper. I hope they bought an energy supplement!
I was even more surprised that although I took a closeup of my rightful penny, my phone camera had other ideas. Once in T-Hoe, I sent the photo to my email, for easy blog access. When I swiped to the closeup, all I saw was a black screen, and heard a SNICK sound like when the picture snaps. That crazy Genius hand-me-down phone had led me to believe that the closeup was taken. Darn technology!
Don't you worry about how Even Steven is treating Val, though. She heard her special song "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" on her drive past the cemetery this week. And last Thursday, upon returning from cashing in her $1000 lottery ticket and having lunch at the casino with her sister the ex-mayor's wife... Val found this on the floor of her garage.
Don't see it? Allow me to assist you with a closeup. It's just under that white stripe.
It was a ladybug, and it was alive! Hick has to let me out before he pulls A-Cad into the garage, because of course when building the garage, he did not allow for enough room for two cars' doors to open completely. Or maybe it's just all the junk he has stored on that side, because T-Hoe's doors open on his side of the garage.
This was on the 11th, which happens to be a significant number pertaining to Val's birthday.
Sometimes, riches come in a form other than pennies.

Where to you store your found money? We put them in a 5 gal. water jug, but they were nearly impossible to remove.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds.
I am on my second penny goblet. Hick found one for me at a yard sale, and the other in his collection of 18 storage locker contents. Here's a picture of the first one:

I'm glad the ladybug was alive and not tyre squished.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I never would have seen it, except for our special ticket-cashing/casino trip that day.
DeleteSave your pennies and they turn into dollars...for the casino.
ReplyDeleteI would never spend my Future Pennyillionaire coins! Not even for the casino!
