At the base of the hand sanitizer dispenser were my two cents!
I had just become the proud new penny-momma of a face-down 2002, and a heads-up 2011. More penny-power to me!

Val's last hurrah on THURSDAY, April 2, about 12 hours before the county-wide
The School-Turn Casey's had a DIME waiting for me. Wouldn't you know it, somebody had to be polite and HOLD THE DOOR OPEN for me, when all I wanted to do was jump on the dime like Shirley Feeney on a floor cracker! To be polite, I went on inside, did my business, and waited for the way out to hold my own door open, get my picture, and harvest my dime.
Don't let that door-jamb screw fool you! My dime was a face-down find from 1976. You know how significant that year was, right? It was THE VALEDICTORIAN YEAR!
After a stop at the post office to mail the boys' letters, I proceeded to the Sis-Town Casey's for T-Hoe's gas. That darn clerk was so speedy that Hick didn't get his saver club points for my purchase. At least I benefited by finding a floor penny!
I had to drag this Lincoln out with the toe of my shoe. I wonder how many of those snacks they sell, stashing them down in the corner like that.
I held up the line to nab my heads-up 2013 pretty penny. I did not give a fat rat's patootie!
Off to pick up some last-minute groceries, I hopped out at Country Mart, smug with my shirt-pocket dime and pants-pocket penny, and was shocked to see ANOTHER penny waiting for me!
It was right there where I couldn't miss it, next to my favorite parking spot.
This was a face-down 1980 cent. I snatched it up and deposited it in my right pants pocket.
What a fine send-off week to fill my coffers, just before my

Might be some people seeing those coins and just leaving them to avoid the cooties. Hope you were careful with them.
ReplyDeleteMore for me! I didn't put the coins up my nose, or in my mouth. I know how to not touch my face, and how to wash my hands. 16 days past my casino trip to Oklahoma, and I'm still kickin'! A parking lot coin (or 5) is not going to bring me down.
DeleteKnock on wood...
DeleteThe dime is for the ten days you won't be able to go out penny hunting.
ReplyDeleteMost people here are isolating at home and those going outside to exercise are keeping good distances between themselves, I even cross to the other side of the road if someone is running in my direction while I am out walking. No walking today though, it's raining off and on so I'm watching movies. So far today, Avatar, Romeo and Juliet, (the Franco Zeffirelli one) Bohemian Rhapsody (the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen) and now Hotel Mumbai, with Dev Patel, because I really like Dev Patel.
I'm not sure I'll make it 10 days! Seven, probably, then the drive-thru mailbox for the boys' letters, and a Country Mart grocery shopping adventure.
DeleteHick was flipping out after ONE DAY, even though he went to the pharmacy. So I promised him the job of taking the boys' Easter packages to the post office on Monday.
I love Avatar! I've got it somewhere here on DVD. That could occupy four hours or so...
Avatar only runs about 2 and three quarter hours, is the rest of the four hours devoted to finding the dvd? mine are on shelves, in alphabetical order, all 352 of them, ditto the TV series, shelved and alphabetical. Right next to the TV.
ReplyDeleteI may be thinking about the director's cut, and the extras. It would be more than four hours if I counted the FINDING time! I think it's in my school stuff boxes. I had taken it to show as a reward for a couple classes, during the short week before Christmas vacation.
DeleteMy DVDs are shelved. They used to be arranged by certain actors. Some by comedy or drama. Then I noticed they were all willy-nilly, no rhyme nor reason. Every other occupant of this house denied messing with them. I have to peruse the many shelves to find what I want. Not interested in de-randoming them anymore.
I went under quarantine directly from the hospital, so I have been nowhere for over a month! But, unlike you, I am quite used to staying here for long periods of time, so I am only bothered by the lack of sunshine and my lack of energy.
ReplyDeleteI don't even miss the Diet Coke and scratchers as much as I miss getting out for about an hour each day, seeing the usual sights, feeling like Norm walking into Cheers when I enter the Gas Station Chicken Store.
DeleteSunshine here today. Energy, not so much.
