Today I found 53 cents . . . . . . 4 nickels, 1 quarter, and 8 pennies.

I didn’t have to work today and neither did my neighbor Robert. In the afternoon we headed out to a Mexican Restaurant in Tomball for lunch. It was pouring rain and I figured that it wasn’t going to be a good day for outdoor change finds. After lunch I went to Kroger, a local grocery store (which was right next to the Mexican restaurant). I checked a change counting machine and found nothing. However, when I stuck my hand under the machine, in search of some fallen coins, I found 52 cents (four nickels, one quarter, and seven pennies). A little boy who was shopping with his mother saw the find and remarked, “Look, Mommy, he found change.”

In the evening I went to the local convenience store to pick up a drink and I found a penny on the floor. As I predicted, it was not a good day for outdoor change finds, but luckily indoor finds were in abundance.

Totals for the day: 53 cents
Race Totals: $441.86
