When we last left you, April was off to a rather slow start, not much has changed. I'm going to use that as an excuse for the lack of updates. Heh!
I did manage to pick up $1.57 in change between all of my usual hunting grounds, Stop N Rob, Coinstar, Shaw's, work, and Bella's walks in the park, etc. That is broken down into 2 quarters, 6 dimes, 1 nickel, and 42 pennies. The bottles and cans collected for the last 2 weeks amounted to $1.45 which prompted me to cash them in today for a total of $16.50 added to the RDF. Also Keith Richards sang, "You got the Silver, You got the Gold", well he was right, last time I blogged I mentioned I had gotten a Canadian dime from the coinstar, What I didn't notice was that it was a 1968 dime which makes it 50% Silver. Yesterday, in the park, I think it was the 18Th of April, (sorry, little Chicago reference there), Bella and I found a 14k Gold earring. Someday, I might actually cash in all the Silver & Gold I have collected over the years.
OK that about wraps it up with a couple exceptions. First I would like to thank Susan Headley for the plug about Rainy Day Fund on her About.Com:Coins column. A couple other found money blogs are mentioned as well, Check it out here: http://coins.about.com/b/2009/04/15/found-money.htm
For me Easter weekend was spent on Olde Cape Cod and even though I didn't add to the RDF while I was down there I did manage to take some photos, I'd like to share the above one with you. It is of the same beach the photo in my header is from but at low tide, in the morning versus sunset, and a different angle of course. Can you name that beach or the beach that I am taking the picture from? (make sure you click on it to get the whole scene) Until Next Time, CYA......
Change: $1.57
Cans: $1.45
April Total: $3.97
P.S. Hope you enjoyed the picture, The seagull in flight reminded me of this great song. Enjoy!
