I found a mere pittance this week to add to my Future Pennyillionaire Fortune. Still, it's better than nothing! Looks like no records will be set this year.
SUNDAY, December 17, I was waiting behind two lovebirds at the Backroads Casey's. They couldn't keep their hands off each other! It actually made me a bit queasy, though I don't begrudge them their infatuation. A better place than Casey's could surely be found to conduct their romance.
It was a face-down 1982 penny, seen here under the snack rack, at the front of that guy's left foot. I couldn't get a closeup because I had to keep my head above the counter to talk to the clerk getting my scratchers. I just scooted out that penny and pocketed my treasure.
To my HORROR, when I bent down, I saw ANOTHER penny in the area that is blocked here by that woman's legs. The horror was because it was too far back to scoot out with my toe. The rack blocked my access. Had there been no line, I might have stayed to try and get it with my hand.
Those lovebirds also bought a couple scratchers. As well as a case of beer, a fountain soda, three loose cold beers, and some snacks. I guess they had a big evening planned!

Hi Val, Well, you may not break your record this year but you beat me by 90 pennies, 18 dimes, (which is amazing by the way), 1 nickel and 4 quarters:)
ReplyDeleteYay, me! I need to get a big foam #1 finger to proclaim my champion-ness.
DeleteMaybe your casino winnings will work to assuage your pain at the loss of being a pennyillionare.
ReplyDeleteYes, if I can actually WIN at the casino! We're going after Christmas, taking both boys. My scratchers are keeping me afloat. It's usually one or the other, never both winning at the same time. The pennies don't show a pattern.
DeleteIt is the season for beer and snacks. Too bad about that second penny though.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think it was Valentine's Day, they were so frisky! That second penny was a cruel trick to play on a Future Pennyillionaire.
