When I get home from work tonight I want to check the dates on mine. Not only did I find pennies everywhere I also started finding dimes. I was careful to keep them separate from my other money in my change purse; it finally got to be too much to carry there so I'm keeping those coins in a pretty tin that I bought at a yard sale the morning before Bob died. The most strange thing was this: When I was switching out my winter clothes for my summer clothes earlier this year I had carried about 20 items upstairs - they were on hangers in the basement closet. I laid them on my bed and went through them one by one so I could eliminate what didn't fit, I didn't like, etc. When I got about halfway through the stack there was a dime. It was laying on a sweater! OK, maybe I was holding the clothes up against me and the pressure kept it from dropping out. BUT - if that was the case how did it stay there while they were hanging in the closet downstairs? And I had already been finding dimes instead of pennies for a few weeks at that time. No doubt in my mind where it came from.

I'm so sorry you lost your dear husband. If his dad says he's "still around", I'd probably accept the pennies as a memento of his love. The pennies you've found before... who knows? Maybe they're just pennies, or maybe you've been visited by someone else dear to you & you just didn't pick up on it. I never have had the experience, but others here will doubtless chime in; this forum sometimes is slow, so don't lost heart.

Not much for a penny. Do they have penny slots in Vegas? Maybe, and the jackpot would be $1. Sometimes they have buy one get one for a penny offer. Years ago, those ponies were 25 cents, so if you saw one for a penny that was a deal. Can you imagine my now grown son just recently grumbled to me that I always walked past those ponies and would not let him ride!! Next time we see one I'll offer to pay for him to ride, so if you see a grown man on a pony, that will be my son.

THanks. My design took second place. The event was to raise money for a childrens hospital. The sidewalk designs brought in about $800 dollars. Samkaren your resident DJ
