Hola, All! Last week after empyting a chest of drawers, Ed and I heard a shuffling noise as we attempted to move it. We immediately stopped, put the chest down and looked through all the drawers. There was nothing in them. When we started to move it again, we heard the same noise again. Perplexed, we took all the drawers out and found what was making the noise. Somehow under the last drawer were 253 pennies; how they got there we have no idea! After taking them out, I put them into paper rollers that held 50 pennies each. Not only that, but I took most of the loose change we had in cups and rolled them also. I ended up with 2 rolls of quarters ($10 ea), 1 roll of dimes ($5), 1 roll of nickles ($2) and 6 rolls of pennies (50 cents ea). Then, on Thursday, before leaving the house, I dropped in my purse 1 roll of quarters and the roll of dimes. After the book study at Cathedral of Light, for a love offering, I put the roll of dimes in the basket, even though I felt a little funny doing it. As Edna and I were on our way to a restaurant, we passed Mistro Bistro. When I found out that she had never eaten there, we turned around and went there for lunch. After enjoying their delicious food, and asking for the check, I gave the waiter the roll of quarters to pay my bill. He took it, deposited it, and came back to tell us "This is so odd. Yesterday, for the first time, someone paid their bill with a roll of quarters, and now it has happened again. Two days in a row! I want to thank you so much for these quarters; we get so many paper bills and not very much change. " Of course, I was a little shocked at what happened, but happy also that what I gave was so appreciated!
Spreading joy unexpectantly!
Dawnie
