I found $5 while running today after coaching. The bill was under some water, which was probably ice for the last week. That's good for two packs of cards. Last year I actually found $20 while running, which is good for a few packs of cards.
In 1976 I found $10 while walking on my paper route. That would have been good for buying an entire box of cards. I remember going to White Hen Pantry and splitting an entire box with one of my friends. That was quite a surprise to the person at the register since we usually bought about 4 - 6 packs each.
Shortly after that, when I was searching for my final two cards in the set, Dusty Baker and Jim Spencer, we crossed the street to Crestline Pharmacy for a few packs. That's when I opened the packs to find that traded cards were inserted. Now I had more cards to chase. Ugh.
Congratulations! It's always nice when you find money on the ground.
ReplyDeleteNew family tradition started last year - I give it to my daughter and she thinks that is so great to have $5.
