Material Things!

Today we found 53 cents and 20 bottles and cans.

Friday was an unusually profitable day in more ways than one. As I mentioned earlier in some of my entries, you never know what you’re going to find or where you’ll find it. That’s the beauty of the hunt and many times there are nice surprises and today was no exception.

On the morning walk with Lexi, Michele found one penny, located in the rite aid parking lot. Then, while returning bottles and cans at the local recycling center, I spotted a roll of pennies lying on the ground. While not a huge find, it was the first time I had found of roll of coin, which was exciting. After watching Michele’s field hockey game at Noble (tough loss), I headed back home to take Lexi for her evening walk. We found 2 cents, the first of which came at the 7-11 parking lot. Then we found one penny headed up Main Street on the way home. The highlight of the walk though was finding a pair of Oakley Sunglasses at the car wash (see picture). They were left behind on one of the island where the vacuums are. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find them. I already own 2 pair but a third pair for free doesn’t hurt!
