There was progress in many areas
today and only a few minor glitches.
This morning I had an 8 a.m.
meeting with the Gardener at Rental House #1. I stopped for petrol on the way. Was dismayed - no coins found. I wondered if the Penny Finding would cease when we got City
Sign Off. That has not been the
case so far.
The
gardener and I were meeting to discuss the removal of a tree stump by the front
door of the rental house. Mr. Tran
said he could not do that.
Rats! I noticed the grass
in the front yard was dead, whereas the grass in the back yard was very green.
That called for further investigation….
One by one we activated the sprinkler lines and checked each head. As I walked to the garage side of the
house, there were 2 shiny pennies in the driveway. A few minutes later I spotted another and another. I carefully looked all around the
driveway (it’s only three cars wide) and the alleyway. All clear of coins. I went back to the front of the house
to check the next sprinkler line.
Back to the garage area where I found two more pennies? Went back and forth another time and
returned to find a dime and a quarter.
WOW! How could they just
appear like that? While I was waiting
for Mr. Tran to fix another broken head I glanced back at the driveway. There
was another penny there. I counted
the coins in my pocket - eleven.
So I said “OK Angels. You
are so close. How about one more
to make a dozen for a Coin Mine?”
Within moments there were TWO more pennies. (Coins #1-13). I
don’t know what you are thinking, but if I didn’t know ME like I do, I’d think
this story was made up!

| Putting Away the Stemware |
At 10:15 I met Maribel to do some
packing and cleaning. We began at
our current (Pomona) house and packed up all the crystal glasses and china
plates. We transported them
to the Penny Palace. We cleaned
out cabinets and put things nicely away.
The glasses look quite pretty in the new cabinet. It was great to return home tonight
with all those empty boxes just waiting to be filled again.

Miguel and Serafin appeared
unexpectedly this afternoon. They
sealed that latest wall on the patio; completing all their work. I will really
miss those guys.
***************
Doc had an 11 a.m. meeting at the cabin
with an HVAC guy to look at the furnace.
Doc stopped at the Starbucks at the base of the mountain for a coffee
and his penny for the day. On the way home, Doc and Sparky
detoured to the Penny Palace for a quick visit. Doc said Sparky was racing through
the house until he spotted Doc's desk and the rolling black chair (which
is Sparky's chair). Doc said he could see the confusion - Like "what
is our chair doing HERE?"
***************
This evening I have cleared the
cookware out of our oven. We use
the oven only 2-3 times a year, so for 30 years it has mostly served as an
additional cupboard. Hopefully
that is about to change.
Total: 14 Coins P (12), N (0), D (1), Q
(1) = $0.47
