This afternoon B and I walked the two blocks to Walgreens to buy Andy his birthday cards. B noticed something shiny on the sidewalk and bent over to pick up a penny. A few steps later, he found another ... and another. I suggested they were "pennies from heaven," but he insisted someone must have walked along with a hole in their pocket, dropping pennies along the way. Perhaps someone put them on the sidewalk and was sitting in their house, watching and waiting to see who would come by and pick them up.
The weird thing, though, was that on the trip back - on the same sidewalk we walked to Walgreens on - we found more pennies that we didn't see walking there. B laughed harder and harder every time he found one. In all, he found 18 pennies.
