Good Deed

Even grumpy old men have to do good deeds. I don’t know who made that rule. My son-in-law’s parents have moved into our little commune. They both have some health issues, so I have been mowing their lawn. It is not a big lawn. You don’t want to go overboard on good deeds. It actually takes me longer to drive the mower to their house than it does to mow the lawn. The first time I mowed it took six minutes.

This week I got paid. There is a small area that borders with a flower bed. I noticed a penny lying on the ground and naturally stopped mowing to pickup the penny. Old men do things like that. Much to my surprise, there was another penny. And then, a nickle, a couple of dimes, and a quarter. I collected over a dollar that was just lying there on the dirt. These coins had been there for some time, but they were not collectibles. Why or how they got there, I do not know. All I have to do is clean them up so they are identifiable to spend.

Gas money - from heaven.
