stop the BIKE & check the mail & bike again...

again, I'm riding to the train and I spot the penny in the roadway and I ride past and then back-up to retrieve it! thanks!

then, just 3 hours later, as I waited in line at the P.O. to mail a card to Liz and Charlie--as the 1 yr anniversary of Lydia's passing approaches, I look down and there is the penny...thanks for the sign.

okay, then the 3rd one came...as I was getting ready to get on the bike at the train station tonight and ride over to Church to buy some masses for Liz, I spot the penny in the street next to my tire.

--recall when I thought two in one day was unique--? not any more...it's been raining pennies!
