Hi Penny Pals-
Can this really be true? Could it really be 16 months since I last posted a Penny Tale?!?!?
OK. Today’s Coin Find is a good one. God Delivered BIG!
...............
A little background here.... On Christmas Eve Doc and I found a Hit for the Cycle (HFC means a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter). We used to find several of those every month. I looked at my records -- that is the only HFC for 2025! WOW! At first I felt disappointed that we only had ONE HFC this entire year. Then I chose instead to be grateful. “Thank You God / Penny Angels for this Christmas Eve gift.”
...............
Today Doc and I stopped at a grocery store on our way home from two medical appointments. (Doc is scheduled for knee replacement surgery in January). There was a batch of coins in the return cup of the coin counting machine. I grabbed them. After we got home and unpacked the groceries, I counted the coins hoping perhaps we might have found another HFC. YES! There were 2P, 4N, 7D, 6Q and a Canadian Quarter. A double HFC!!!!!!
Either Doc and I are crazy, or we have serious Penny Fever.
Tina: “We have four nickels. Those are so difficult to find. If we could just get two more pennies today we could have FOUR HFC! Wouldn’t that be a great climax for the year?”
Doc: “We’ve already parked the van for the night and I plan to watch Monday Night Football”.
Tina: “OK. I COULD go by myself.”
Doc: “Alright. It has been a super windy day today, so the car wash will likely be closed. Let’s go there.”
.............
I met Doc back at the van. He had found the two pennies we had originally set out for. “God’s Two Cents Worth.”
Summary of Today’s Lesson: Doc and I dared to think BIG (4 HFCs). God thinks even BIGGER! (5 HFCs)
