November 17 (Thursday) started as a routine day - got up, did my morning thing, got to the train station (no running for the train which was nice) and got off at my stop. On my walk from the train station to work, at 7:45 am, I found a 1952-2002 penny on Front Street in front of the Canyon Creek Chop House. Ok. It wasn't on the street but on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Some man walking behind me make a comment about my lucky find - something about it being my lucky day since I found the penny. And I guess it was, cause I'm up one penny.
On this day, I was getting an award as a team member of project that was nominated and won and teamwork IT award. After the ceremony, a couple of my teammates and I went to a local pub for a celebratory drink and snack. We left the pub and went our separate ways. I went to my night class. I took a different route this time (it's good to change things up once in a while). I decided to walk to Church Street and go south. On the sidewalk in front of 65 Church street (the office to St. James Cathedral) I found a 2007 quarter.
And then today - Sunday, I had a few errands to run. My daughter is going to a semi and needed some fancy shoes. She found a pair that she liked at Payless but the one she went to didn't have her size so I promised I would take her shopping today. We went to a different Payless and she tried the shoes on but didn't like the way they looked on, so we went to a Shoe Company (which happened to be in the same shopping area). We were crossing the road to the to the Shoe Company when I spotted a 2009 dime. I nearly got myself killed picking up the stupid coin up as it was in the middle of the road between two parking areas. The things I do to collect these coins. Anyway, my find is a little worn around the edges, I guess from all the cars that have run over it.
