Last year from Christmas I decopodged this poem and made a bank for my daughter out of a mason jar. Painted the jar, decopodged the poem, used kitty rub on's and tied a ribbon with tiny bells around the rim of the jar. I also cut a slit for the money to be dropped in. It turned out sooo cute!! :) Hope this is the one you were needing! Gail Pennies from Heaven I found a penny today, just laying on the ground, but it's not a just a penny, This little coin I've found. Found pennies come from heaven, That's what my Mama told me, She said angels toss them down, Oh, how I loved that story. She said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny, When you're feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven, That an angel's tossed to you

Joanne Cacciatore was actually the author of the poem in the book. I really believe it was a message from him...I just started flipping through and it opened right to that page...It brought tears to my eyes but for the first time it was actually good tears knowing my little boy was safe. As soon as my husband got home i explained what happened and had him read it...he just sat down and cried.

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.

Just sneaking in before my work day starts. Good morning everyone! Like I said earlier....it's nice to know everyone was wondering where I was. I'm glad you are all still enjoying my shows. It keeps the 70's alive. Diane...no offense taken. That's what I love about the KT. We are open and honest here. Here is a mini update. DH and I are still trying to sell our home so we can move to a small town. We had to lower our price somewhat and the competition around here is fierce. But we are hopeful that someone will buy it. Will update more later. SamKaren your resident DJ
