Good Morning !
Yesterday Dave and I had a few errands to run. We pulled into a space in the parking lot. As I got out of the car I looked down at the asphalt.
What did I see?
A ton of change scattered right in front of where I was standing.
Find a Penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck.
I always pick up loose change but its usually its only a penny.
Dave and I collected 55 pennies and 80 cents in nickels and dimes !
Why wouldn't someone stop to collect all that change if they had dropped it?
$1.35 isn't anything to sneeze at.
I have to admit that I looked around to see if we were on some kind of prank show or (now I'm dating myself) Candid Camera ...
Now ... where will I spend my treasure? 😍😊😉...
How about this for Thankful Thursday?
There was an added bonus to my day. I got a phone call from an old high school friend. He was desperately trying to have Dave and I go to the 64th High School Reunion.
Yikes, 64 years ago...
I had to say we couldn't attend for various reasons but it was so good to visit again. We do it on occasion via messenger and the last time I saw Jim in person was 5 years ago when he came to visit and have lunch with us. It sure was a trip down memory lane.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

Fun find for Thankful Thursday. I only pick up pennies that are heads up. Not sure why, but that's what I always heard.
I think $1.35 is a lot of drop and not pick up. I hate to pick on this generation - but I have to say my grandson just might not pick it up. He doesn't carry cash or coin at all. Not me!
Blessings were falling all around you !! How wonderful. Strange isn't it how a person would not take the time to pick up change? That much would for sure by a sonic drink. My mother used to always say find a penny pick it up..... Strangest thing, but not really. When my niece had her second child, laying on the floor in her room was a penny dated the year my mom passed away. We told her that Mamaw was there watching over her and Cooper. I wish you all could go to your reunion. Glad you were able to have a good visit via the phone. It's so fun to connect with old friends.
I think it's crazy too that someone would drop that and not pick it up.
Glad you got to catch up with your friend!
I always pick up coins when I see them. As a kid, I knew a park favoured by hormonal couples and I would scour that area. Often, where they had lain in the grass, coins would fall out of pockets, and sometimes it was quite a haul!
Better spend those pennies fast before they go out of circulation. I heard that the USA is thinking of getting rid of the penny. Probably one of trump's ideas.
