Money Here, Money There!

Today we found 1.36 in change and 42 bottles and cans.

We were out and about today running a few errands. The first place we headed was Home Depot. We’ve been remodeling our second bathroom and we needed to buy some molding and the stain to go with it. While we were there we found 5 pennies in various places throughout the store. After that, we stopped for a bite to eat at Taco Bell, where we found another 2 pennies. I needed to hit Staples for some shipping supplies and while walking through the parking lot, and the adjacent movie rental parking lot, we picked up 5 more pennies. Finally, heading through Somersworth we stopped at a no-name car wash and pocketed another 15 cents (1 dime, and 5 pennies) to our total.

As for other coin finds throughout the day, Michele hit pay dirt with 45 cents on her morning walk. She found 2 pennies on Mill, a nickel on Ellis, 2 pennies at Subway, and 1 penny in front of the Black Bear Café. She also found 35 cents (1 quarter and 1 dime) in the parking lot just in front the Goodwill store.

The evening walk added 65 more cents to an already great day (2 quarters, 1 dime, and 5 pennies). First we found 2 pennies on Frost Street, then a penny heading down Main Street. At the car wash we found 37 cents (1 quarter, 1 dime, and 2 pennies) and then a lone quarter heading up Main.

Red Sox Update – It was tough loss for the Beantown Boys. We were able to get Santana’s pitch count up early, forcing him to leave after five innings, but the Minnesota bullpen put the clamps on the offense, sending us to defeat, 2-1. I’ll say this, Minnesota plays great defense on a daily basis and it paid off tonight. They’ve always been solid on the fundamentals but I don’t think it get mentioned enough. Hopefully we can take the rubber game tomorrow with Schilling on the bump.

Sidebar – I almost forgot to mention that we found a pair of gold earrings today. Michele seems to think they might be for a young girl. There’s a small stone (ruby perhaps) in each one. It’s a nice addition to a growing jewelry stash.

Good Night and Good Hunting~

Good thing you didn't find any coins in your Taco at Taco Bell! :-)
