I had a rather *interesting* day of "finds" today.
There will be no pics, no vids, no film at eleven.
You'll just have to trust me.
It all started on a dark, damp, dreary and foggy morning where I was debating on going for a walk.
Just as I was deciding, a couple of overflowing buckets of past walks' scrap caught my eye.
Not needing much encouragement to not go today. I decided to sort some of the scrap and see about
cashing. Put it off long enough!
So, I did and collected 25 dollars which was a surprise cuz I was expecting way less!
All for piling some metal in a bucket, (better than 2 dollars in clad quarters,
but not the same)
So, then, I went to the store to splurge/celebrate a bit. On the way in the store, checked the coinstar.
Usually nothing, there were 3 dimes and a penny waiting for me. The day was picking up!
Then I noticed that 2 of them were silver! A '36 and a '46 Roosie! Well, well, well!
I'd probably walked all day in the rain and not seen silver! LOL
Anyway, I do my shopping and on the way back to my car.....
I spy with my lil eye, something sparkly. It would seem that my eyes
were *particularly* sharp today! It turned out to be a teeny little
diamond chip that had escaped from some setting somewhere.
After all this, you all probably think I should have bought a lottery ticket! LOL
Well.....I did. And I won 2 million dollars!!
All true! Except....errr uhhh maybe that last little bit. You'd have to divide that amount
by a million to get the real amount.
BUT......I won!! Kind of a nice day, eh?
Thanks for taking a moment to peek.
