Val Can't Put in Her Two CENTS This Week

I've been stifled! Stifled like Edith Bunker. I have no say in anything this week, since I only have my ONE CENT to put in. I don't believe that's a thing. You never hear anybody say, "That's just my one cent." Please. It is not nice to celebrate my stifling. I'm right here! The balloons and unfurling paper tooting horns are a bit much. 

My lone capture this week was wrangled from the floor of the Backroads Casey's on MONDAY, March 22.


It was a heads-up 2017 penny, avoiding foot traffic, under the candy shelves on the front of the counter. I had a Not-Heaven of a time dragging it out with my shoe-toe.

Not only did I have to suffice with a single cent this week... I had to resort to a single PICTURE as well! No time nor space for a close-up. Well, "Skittle-dee-dee!" as Scarlet O'hara would have said, had she access to this delicious rainbow-colored candy rather than a limp carrot coated with dirt.

    1. Yes. I've probably put in more than my share of two-centses anyway. Even Steven is holding me accountable.

  2. Dang, you don't have two pennies to rub together? That would upset this fidgety dirty water cocktail drinker.

    1. Nope! But I could give you ONE for your thoughts... IF I was the kind of person to give away pennies, which I'm not.

      Sorry to upset you while you bend an elbow, but imagine MY discomfort at being unable to bend a rumpus!

  3. Aww, you'll have to make do with the past pickings in the already full pennyillionaire goblets.

    1. Yes, I can chortle with glee as I let them cascade through my fingers.

  4. Sometimes you win and sometimes you can't find a penny when you need one. Search your couch cushions? Well that wouldn't be the same now, would it?

    1. The couch would be a fruitless (and penniless) search. The Pony carries only plastic, and Hick doesn't sit on the couch.
