A story to tell...

I am sure we all have a story or two to tell that would amaze others. That would make other wonder...how could that be? Could it be true? Or could they just have active Imagination? lol
It could be just everyday life that become interesting....an add twist in a normal day.
Some might know how I have found coins on the ground since HS. I see them as I drive down the street...out on a walk. The women in my family have always teased how it had to be our Great Grandfather Hess dropping them for me from Heaven. He was known to pay a Silver dollar to his grandkids for a kiss. It wasn't that they didn't love him...they just didn't like his full scratching beard. lol This was during the depression so giving a child a silver dollar was a bit much. But, his grandchildren would play with them for a short time...then leave them behind for the parents to find and use in ways the family needed. It was a smart man's way to help his children without hurting thier pride.
Leading back to me ....about a week ago I stated to fine Gift cards. First it was a Best Buys one with under $2.00 on it. Still could help pay the tax on an item. Then I found a Border book GC with $5.00 on it. Just the other night I found a Target GC with close to $15.00. I guess Grandfather Hess thinks coins are not enough anymore. We all know how prices are going up on everything. I just didn't know they knew it in Heaven too.
