My new TH'ing credo
I got out hunting again after work this evening... amazing how that one activity can improve an otherwise rotten day! ?I went back to my favorite playground/sports complex and hit the usual spots. ?(After all, it's been at least 5 whole days since I was last there!!!). ?Let me backtrack a moment...
This morning before I went to work, I was perusing this site and someone mentioned finding a Sacagewea dollar. ?I remembered thinking; "it's probably gonna be a looong time before I find one of those!" and I was wrong! ?Here's my first - found her face down in the sand under the swing set. ?I don't have to tell you how delighted and surprised I was... but what I found a few minutes later made me forget all about the coin. ?My next find was just lying in the grass - I saw it before my detector pinged it - and at first I assumed it was a piece of yet another twisted aluminium can. ?Turns out to be something that I'm going to treasure - with a sentiment I'm going to remember. ?It's just a (heavy!) pewter keychain - shaped like an angel's wing. ?On one side there's an etched quote from Katharine Hepburn: "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun".
Isn't that fabulous?!?
So the next time you wonder if you should climb that fence, or skirt past the probing eyes of an over-zealous groundskeeper... go right ahead... Kate will be smiling down on you!
