Day One Hundred-Thirteen - Friday, June 19

I didn't need much to cross the three century mark for the year and I planned accordingly. One school and out. Maybe two if there wasn't summer school at the one en route to my destination. There was school at the second which was fine by me. In a half-hearted attempt at a partially water-logged schoolyard after a booming thunderstorm I scanned up 87c (not including the nickel I found in my change bag from the other day! WOOT!). But there was a wheatie included in the metallic debris and also an owl stickpin. I want to show it to my little girl this weekend but it's a bit sharp and she loves to touch and examine things. Whenever she sees her grandma she always kisses her hummingbird charm on the necklace and says, "Bwood." Then, quite frequently, she either starts stiff-arming or wiggles to get down from the barrage of smoochies so she can scamper about and explore everything in this big old world. That's my clone. She's my little inspiration!

Crazy to think that I'm 5 dimes away from 1,000 for the year! Yay, kids, keep on losing your change!
