Happy Saint Patricks Day...

This cute guy is one of the painted rocks I have done...

Today I took in the cans and bottles for the refund, the bags take up to much space. Also had some cans I found today while detecting. While cleaning up the trash in the front yard spotted a nickel in the grass.

A nice walk on the beach...

Late this morning I went to the beach to collect some driftwood for project, weather was nice even thou next to the lake is much cooler. My aching back (not used to walking especially in the sand), my bag was getting heavy so I headed back to the car before climbing the steps to the walk way I spotted a lottery ticket, I don't know why I decided to pick it up, I looked at it and saw that it had a match number, Won $2.00.

Short trip to the Mall on March 13, 2010...

Yesterday went to the mall for a little while with my husband, he walked one round (large mall) and I stopped at the Hallmark card shop and picked up a cute card. After choosing I went to the register a young couple was ahead of me after they paided she dropped some coins, she looked down at them and they two just walked away so I picked them up, hey .12 cents it adds up.

Laundry day...

Well, I was off to the laundry mat after watching one of my favorite show (Law and Order, SVU). After the laundry was washed and dried and started folding I looked over to the other counter and spotted a penny (no one nearby, so I went over and picked it up to add to to my collection of found money).

Weather a little warmer

So I went out for a short spell, first got some gas as I walked in to pay I saw the reflection of a dime in the glass on the door and low and behold there was a shiney dime. After I went on to the grocery store to pick up a few things and return bottles for the deposit...Nice way to start a new month...
