Back Up The Brink’s Truck!

Today we found 3.59 in coin and 30 bottles and cans.

Talk about ending the month with a bang! We had a banner day, not only in finding money but also with an all-time record for a single month with returnables. Then we topped it off with a huge field hockey win against bitter rival Deering! This day could not have been any better!

On the money front – While at the Deering this morning, I found a penny over by the concession stand prior to the game. That wasn’t the headline though. Having never beaten Deering in Michele’s tenure as varsity coach, she’s been on the end of some really tough losses including a 1-0 loss in the semi-finals 3 years. Well my friends, all that was erased today. The Mustangs, at one point down 3-0 at the half, and then 4-2 with 8 minutes left to play came back and tied the game, and in double overtime scored the winning goal. Take my word for it, this was the most exciting game I’ve watched over the last 4 years with this team and truly one for the ages.

Anyway, back to the money details – Michele found a dime in the high school parking walking out to her car. Finally, we took Lexi for an evening walk and that’s when we really hit the jackpot. We picked up a total for 3.47 at the car wash, one of our bigger days there. There were several quarters, dimes and lots of pennies in the mix (see picture). The only other penny of the walk came on Witham Street.

Over and Out!
