| Invitation Delivery |
Doc and I had a 7:30 a.m.
“date”. He agreed to drive me down
to the far end of the street and dump me there. I would walk back to the house
and deliver Potluck invitations at each of the houses along the way. Most of
them had 10-12 steps to the front door, so it proved to be quite a good workout
for me. Meanwhile Doc went to
Subway to fetch our breakfasts. We
returned home within one minute of one another! Some couples dance in harmony, we ??? in harmony.
Numerous neighbors have said that
they enjoy the update banners which I have posted on the front of the
house. It had been several weeks
since I posted one and people were asking if that meant we were ALL moved it?
Hardly! Thus it was time to whip
out another banner. This one
reads: “FOUND: Grand Room Floor.
Others Still in Hiding”.

Next Doc wanted some Garage
Time. So we assembled some metal
shelves and tackled a few more items out there.
Last night I addressed an Open
House invitation for “Walking Dick” whom we met on Sign Off
Day. Although I have seen him
walk past the house numerous times since that day, what were the chances that I
would happen to be looking out the window just when and if he walked past the
next time? I needed some Angel
assistance (COINcidence stuff).
This morning Doc and I were working with the garage door open when Doc
said, ”Look behind you. Dick is walking past the house!” That was less than 24 hours since I
submitted my Angel Request.

Early afternoon Doc and I headed
out. He needed a coffee. I found two pennies inside the 7-11
store. (Coins #1&2) We got
back into the van and Doc said, “Aren’t you even going to look around the
parking stalls?” I replied with an
adamant “NO!!! It is hot out here. I DO NOT want to look. I DO NOT want to find more coins today.
I DO NOT want to have to write today!”
Doc accepted that and put the van in reverse. He had moved 2 ft. when I said, “DA^^^! STOP! There is a penny outside my window!” I hopped out to collect the penny and
there was another one in a planter also within reach. (Coins #3&4)
Sometimes those Penny Angels are really annoying.
Delivered more Open House
invitations to the post office. A quick pass through McDonald’s provided lunch
as well as a dime and a penny.
(Coins #5&6)

In the afternoon I worked on the
invitations for the Solar Car Team Reunion, then Penny Tales.
At 6 p.m. we headed out for our
Sunday night grocery shopping ritual.
There was a run over nickel in the crosswalk of the busy street before
we got to the freeway (Coin
#7) Then we collected a dime and
two pennies inside one grocery store with an additional penny in the parking
lot. (Coin #8-11)
***************
It was 1 a.m. and I was washing
dishes. There was a “nudging” to
dry my hands and go on-line to look up hours for a store I planned to visit
tomorrow. Got distracted searching
for ‘elf’ costumes for the Elf Quarters.
All the elf props and costumes seemed to be Christmas green and red
colors (especially the pointy shoes). My elves are year round workers - not
just Christmas help. And almost
all the costumes were in adult sizes.
(My elves are only 30-36” tall.
I searched many websites. I finally gave up and said, “OK Finding
Angels, help me find the right Elf Attire”. The next site on which I landed had the usual costumes. But then I found a Kid’s Elf Suit in
Green and Gold (Cal Poly Pomona colors)!
And the shoes were black!
It was a clearance item with the price marked down from $58 to $17. It is scheduled to arrive in 3
days. How’s that for Angel
service?
Total: 11 Coins P (8), N (1), D (2), Q
(0) = $0.33
