The Liquor Store is keeping Val in business.
SUNDAY, June 5, I stopped at the Liquor Store for scratchers. There was a line when I entered, so I had to find room to stand on the first aisle. Good thing I did!
Even Steven had provided me with a penny! How fitting that is was waiting next to a big box of lottery draw-ticket forms!
It was a face-down 2013 penny, shown here on the nicely-focused tile floor.

TUESDAY, June 7, I was back at the Liquor Store. I was meant to be there! Waiting outside the front door was another penny. I'm surprised there wasn't a cardboard sign out by the road with a message: VAL, We Have Your Penny!
It was almost jumping up and down, waving its non-existent arms to get my attention!
This was a shiny, though dirty, face-down 2021 penny.

Forget about the Liquor Store! The best source for Val's Future Pennyillionaire Fortune is the School-Turn Casey's!
THURSDAY, June 9, it was my second stop on Errand Day. For scratchers, of course! Some yayhoo was parked cattywompus in my favorite spot, so I had to park parallel to him at the end of the store. Coming out, I made a fantastic discovery:
It was a QUARTER! Whoop-ti-do!
It was a face-down 1999 Connecticut quarter. I nabbed it for my shirt pocket.
But wait! As I continued to T-Hoe, I made ANOTHER discovery!
THREE MORE PIECES OF SILVER!!!
It was a heads-up 1987 nickel, a face-down 2014 Florida quarter, and a heads-up old-style 1993 quarter! I hope that wonky parker thought I was taking a picture of his bad parking! Of course I was over-the-moon with my treasures. Little did I know...
That I was in for another treat when I got back to the Backroads Casey's!
Faithfully awaiting my arrival, which was a last-minute decision based on available parking...
... was a heads-up 2021 penny shining to get my attention. I was running out of pockets, so Abe got to ride with that first quarter in my shirt pocket.

ReplyDeleteSadly, once I accumulate my Future Pennyillionaire Fortune, it won't go as far as it would have when I started the quest!
DeleteThree quarters! Is Even Steven making up for past losses? or getting ahead of future non-coin days?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's my new 1-day record for quarters. I guess I'll soon find out if Even Steven is making up or getting ahead!
DeleteWow! Not as ggod as the lottery, but you did great with silver finds.
ReplyDeleteYeah. A little gesture from Even Steven to make amends for the week's catastrophes. Jury duty letter, microwave death, T-Hoe's broken heater hose, Hick trying to kill me with his head cold cooties...
