Wheat Penny nearly lost

Of all my hundreds of faithful readers, I'm sure Mark will appreciate this post the most.

Mary Lynn and I ate a light dinner at Chili's Restaurant tonight, we'd had a late lunch,  and our bill came up to $13.01.  So, I figured I'd leave a penny with the payment so the waiter would have an even tip.  Well, I didn't have a penny, so Mary Lynn threw one on the tray.  My sharp eyes noticed immediately that it was a Wheat Penny!  It was sitting tails side up.  So I replaced it with another.  I checked through her change purse to make sure she didn't have anymore.  Almost lost!

I know, it's not a National Treasure, but I would hate to think I spent a Wheat Penny!  So, I've got it tucked away with the rest of my Wheat Pennies.

You're not going to believe this, but I still slept soundly last night, even after realizing what I'd done.
