It was wonderful to wake up at the
cabin. Birds were singing and the
bed was comfy. Who cares about the
dust and the cobwebs?
This morning Doc promptly got to
work on grading those papers. I cleaned the cabin - sucking up dead bugs, etc.
At noon we packed up and headed
down the mountain. Doc’s cousin
Robin was attending a conference in L.A. for women pilots. She asked if she might stop by the
Penny Palace. We met her at the
house at 1:15 p.m. She had seen
the house once before - a year ago when there was only subflooring. She noticed that a few changes had
occurred in that time.
Pippy's First Sleepover at the PP |
We left Pippy parked for the two nights at her spot at the PP. That was her first sleepover. She had a great view of the gushing stream and then the valley lights in the distance. She did not seem to mind it at all.
This
evening Doc and I did our usual Sunday night grocery shopping. At the first store I found a penny,
dime and quarter. Of course I kept
saying, “Nickel, Nickel, Nickel”.
Doc collected a penny at the second grocery store. (Coins #1-4)
At the
third store Doc went to the restroom while I paid for the groceries. It was funny. I used a credit card and paid for everything. I was ready to leave when the cashier
asked if the Peanut Butter in the cart was also mine? Oops! I really
was not attempting to shoplift I just didn’t see that container. So I paid cash for that one item. The cashier handed me the receipt and
change saying, “Here is YOUR NICKEL”!
I had to laugh. It was
almost as if she KNEW my request as I was driving to the store. COINcidence?
I got the NICKEL as requested. Next time I need to be more specific
and ask for a FOUND nickel.
Total: 4 Coins P (2), N (0), D (1), Q
(1) = $0.37
