09Oct25: a busy day…

Andy wanted on the table, but I was blocking the way.
Why was he assuming the “gimme some, too” position?
Well it was Bret and my coffee and rolls day. I made better-tasting-than-
looking butter scotch chip-pecan banana muffins.
Andy wouldn’t like them.
But beg…
…beg…
…beg…
…pout…
…and beg he did!

Later, I tried out a simple coin sorter and wrap gizmo I just got.
It beats having loose coins in a Ziploc baggie.
Coins that don’t total a wrapper full still can be stored in the coin “vaults” till I get enough to look like a full wrapper ‘s worth.
Then, I will empty it, count out the number of coins needed for that wrapper to be full.

It’s laborious, but more fun than having all the coins in that baggie.

 I donate the coins. when I have US$50 or so to a group that helps provide food for needy children in my hometown. When the coins don’t amount to a nice sum, I sometimes add some currency to the loot.

Pathetic as it is in this rich country, there actually is a lot of poverty and there are food-deprived children and families in the USA. My small town is no exception. My help is appreciated, I know.

I will spare you the sermon about so-called Christian nationalist billionaires and millionaires who do proportionately less than poor me! (BUT I AM THINKING IT!)

These coins are change I get when paying for things. They accumulate really fast and mostly are 25-cent and 10-cent coins, with 1-cent and 5-cent coins frequently received,
too.

I haven’t received a 50-cent or dollar coin in change in years.

    • Yes, must have twelve mansions, a 100 car garage full of vintage and exotic cars, and so much stuff you have to hire security guards.

  1. Ha! Not surprised at all that Andy wants to check out the muffins, even though the chances are good he wouldn’t like them! Good for you for donating the coins. I hear you about the billionaires and millionaires …
