Granny just had to tell you-still cleaning aunties things today. Cleaning out an old purse and there in the bottom-a lone penny. Sis just knew how tired and down hearted I was today and she had to tell me she loved me.

Aw man, that really brings a tear to my eye. And I forgot to tell about the penny today!

I spent the afternoon with that friend I told ya'll I take some produce to. She was widowed one year ago this month and she was having a tough time of it today. I just "happened" (thank you Lord) to stop by as she was having a good cry. I have *got* to tell her about those pennies!!! She is cleaning out his closet this week, packing his clothing up to give away. I'm sure she'll be finding pennies. I'll tell her tomorrow!

Of course she loves you, still.

It makes me smile to imagine how you felt when you found the penny.

If you think about it, we rarely see pennies that are lost.

I had one fly over my desk one day at work and before I could get it, clients came in.

It taught me a lot about people, must have been 30 or more people sit at my desk and not one of them picked it up.

I was careful to put it back in the same spot when I vacuumed, and at last a little lady from a southern farm background, saw it and and picked it up, she said “this is my lucky day, I found a penny.”

I made sure she kept her lucky penny.

Even more scary to me, I had a full grown Samoyed dog, who went to work with me every day, she would curl up under my desk and remain there as long as I sat at the desk or didn’t leave the room.

Her full bushy tail would be under the clients chair.

Very few people even acknowledged that there was a big plumed tail almost under their feet.

But let a kid come in the office and Sheba was up and ready for her loving.

She did her job well, the kids would love her and I could then talk to the parents.

For some of my best real estate clients, the dog, cookie jar and coffee pot was worth stopping for.

My kind of folks that is.
