Today we celebrated Father’s
Day. Yes, I realize it is a day early,
but that’s when everyone’s schedule allowed for it.
You would smile at seeing Doc
playing in the pool with ALL of his downline (two sons and two
grandchildren). What fun to see the
waterfights and merriment. Sure wished I’d had a camera with me.
I know that has nothing to do
with Penny Finding, I was merely sharing a JOY moment with you.
***************
Now for Penny Finding …
Excuse me for a moment – Doc is saying there is a skinny coyote
in our front yard. I gotta go see
this. Yup, that’s a coyote.

Back to Penny Tales …
Approximately 7 p.m. this
evening Doc and I realized that we had not been anywhere today in order to find
a coin. So we grabbed leashes and dogs
and headed out.
Went to the shopping center
down the street which has a fast food place, a 7-11 store and a car wash. There were zero cars at the fast food drive
up window, so I quickly went there before any cars came. I could see several coins glistening in the
fading sun. This was going to be
easy. I was smiling with contentment in
knowing that those coins would be mine in a few seconds. I was approaching from the West. Suddenly approaching from the East was a
worker from the fast food diner! She
must have also noticed all those coins laying there and come outside to collect
them. Rats! Of course Dundee and I proceeded as though we
were just out for an evening stroll…
As I walked away I was
disheartened, “Hey Penny Angels, that
was NOT nice! You showed me all those sparkly
coins, and then just took them away!” Grumble, grumble. Then Doc and Norman approached Dundee and me near the 7-11 store. Doc and I yelled
“Mine” simultaneously because we each had spotted separate dimes just a few
feet apart! By then we were
laughing. Then I found a quarter to
which Doc said, “Now we just need one of those elusive nickels”.
We all walked over to the car
wash where we collected another nine pennies and a dime. Where was that nickel? So Doc and I both began chanting “Nickel,
Nickel, Nickel…” and within moments there was a nickel and a penny! THANKS ANGLES for Playing with us! That was FUN!
Both coins were turned up on their edges in a crack along a curb. Very difficult place to see a coin.
My thought was: “WOW
Angels! This would make for a REALLY
GOOD manifesting Penny Tale about getting that requested Nickel. However Angels, I have other things I want to
do tonight, so THANKS for the coins. I
appreciate the play time with you, but I have other plans.”
I was heading back to the van
when Doc had a “nudging” to go behind the car wash. Norman had enough walking, sat down and
refused to go any further. Doc still
wanted to go behind the building and merely carried Norman along with him. I went along and found a penny, then a Wheat
Penny! Special Find! Glad we followed that Nudging.
Dundee and I went back to the
van. After what seemed like an eternity,
Doc and Norman appeared. Doc said, “I
told you I had a “nudging”. He opened his hand to reveal at least two dozen coins. (Tally #1).
Then Doc said, “Get a napkin and scraper of some sort, because I found a
coin mine!” So we went back to the
“mine”. We scraped and chiseled through
the thick pile of ?????? (you don’t really want me to describe that)
unearthing who knows how many coins.
(Tally #2)
There was no way to know what
the coins were until they were cleaned.

Conversation with the Angels
when Driving Home. “OK. YOU WIN! With this spectacular of a haul, I am
obligated to write a Penny Tale tonight. Please guide me on this”.
Lesson: We may see something
REALLY good which we are anticipating.
Then when it does not happen as we were expecting, we can easily get
discouraged and sometimes ask. “WHY?”
“What went wrong?” “Why didn’t
things go the way I had
planned?”
We
need to keep in mind that sometimes SOURCE can see the bigger picture. And SOURCE has limitless resources and
blessings which are showered upon us.
