$50.00 bill found on Day 120!

The kids and I needed to make a very necessary trip to the bank... No cash left in our wallets after the big east coast trip. It was a very fruitful excursion as Ajay found a $50.00 bill lying in the grass near our parking space. That boy sure can make good finds... He's got some kind of lucky magic. Earlier this year, he found a $20.00 bill while grocery shopping with his mommy. My wife was in total disbelief about this find... She said we should take the bill to the bank to make sure it's real. I checked it... it's most certainly real! GOOD GOING BOY!

I was so amazed that it was just sitting there. I didn't believe it.

That is awesome!
