The little things that make you smile!

March 25, 2019 By: Lucy6 Comments

Guess what I found yesterday? Keep reading, and I’ll let you know!

Late in the afternoon, I decided to go to town to do some sourcing for my business.  Unfortunately, I was having one of those days where I just wasn’t finding much, or at least not what I would deem the effort.   While I was returning my shopping cart to the corral, I spotted it.  A ten dollar bill!  Of course, I wouldn’t have driven 35 miles to town for $10 but finding it did put a little bounce in my step.  For the record, I did think about bringing it to customer service, but we all know how that would have turned out.

Today I stayed home, so not much chance of finding any cash unless it was already ours.  Lol  I did, however, come across a little pine (pictured above) that survived not only the heavy snow but also our snowblower.  These pines grow like weeds here, but I’m still amazed at their resilience. A friend of mine had asked me if our snow was gone yet.  No, it isn’t.  Not even close.  I decided to go out and snap some pictures so she could see for herself.  Here are a few I took.

 

The trail to the propane tanks.

Keep walking. The tanks really are in there!

 

I am starting to see more of the dock!

 

In case you’re wondering, the lines on the lake are from snowmobiles.  At my own first glance, they looked more like power lines. Anyhow, I’m eager to trade those tracks for boats.

The day wasn’t a complete no-money day.  Hubs did get an email from one of his hotel rewards clubs.  He has mostly been staying at Best Westerns, so this other club had been showing inactivity.  He either needs to stay in one of their hotels or use his points to avoid losing them.  Don’t get too excited.  He has a whopping $3.  Lol  Ah, The little things!

    Finding money will ALWAYS improve your day – I get excited if I find a penny on the ground. I would probably wet my pants if I found $10 🙂

    Sent my first snowball to Chase today – $135 – a combination of bottle/can returns and our insurance payment being much less because they forgot to take the destroyed car off last month. Normally we would have just gone out to eat with that money – NOT TODAY!!!!!

      Good for you Sue. Is Chase your only debt?

      Lol. It was an exciting find! I’m so proud of you not using your “extra” money for eating out. Keep your focus on the target and it will be paid off before you know it!

$259.31 closer towards our goal

Beefing up the emergency fund. You read that right.  $259.31 and it is all going towards beefing up our emergency fund.  This was the proceeds of my eBay items that ended yesterday.  Would have been more, but eBay and PayPal always take their share.  Still, I am very pleased.  Now before you start thinking I’m a […]
