Money in the Mini-Vac

Who knew when I was cleaning out the mini-vac that it would be STUFFED and on top of everything would be various monetary coins...a fair amount of them? I don't recall sucking up money-nor would I, intentionally. My husband seems to have been puzzled by it too.

I'm not complaining-it's probably enough to get a snack from the vending machine at school. I dropped them all in the sink with hot water and stuff to sanitize them after their stay in the vac.

In general, I get pretty excited to find money on the ground-whether it's an old penny or more. It also reminds me of a time in my life where I would take a penny from time to time and toss it out the car window or leave it somewhere for someone to find. I had hoped that the person finding it would get excited like I do. Perhaps, I will begin that personal tradition again...

Today, I am grateful for God and lots!

The Ultimate Gift

Over the weekend, I saw a splendid movie-The Ultimate Gift (although, without ruining it I just have to say something happened in it towards the end that DID make me mad...because it happens all the time in movies, but that's all I'm going to say).

Besides that, I thought it was a great movie despite a bit of I guess you would say, cheesiness or predictability. It was thought provoking which I like and all tied together nicely with a little suspense!

These are the gifts in the movie:

The Gift of Work
The Gift of Problems
The Gift of Friends
The Gift of Giving
The Gift of Gratitude
The Gift of Family
The Gift of Learning
The Gift of Money
The Gift of Laughter
The Gift of a Day
The Gift of Dreams
The Gift of Love (which leads to the Ultimate Gift)


Today, I am grateful: that my tapestries presentation is over, for family and friends, and love!


Love,

Rachel
