    Default Whoo Hoo I found...

    $70.00 while cleaning out a cabinet today!!! It is in my bedroom and I used to use it for my books and stuff,but then awhile ago I moved my books and put some mags that my dh saves. I am going through the house purging stuff and poked around in there and low and behold was a jar of pennys and the envelope marked July 08!!!

    I don't know how I could have forgotten it, but I'm glad I did!!

    My mind keeps saying oh you could get this or that on and on....
    For now I moved it to the safe in the bedroom. Maybe I will forget it again, after I add some more to it. Hee! hee! I might spend 10.00 on some annuals. I know some of you up in the frigid north could not imagine that yet, but we have them in the garden centers here already. Today it was 86 that is not really normal for this time of year. Still usually in the 70's
