It’s that time again.  Time for my girls to head back to the Midwest to spend half the summer with family.

I know they love being there, but I can’t help missing them when they’re gone.

Yesterday Sassy wanted me to buy all the coins she has been saving for vacation.  Sure!  Then I realized it was almost all in pennies.

Three hundred and ninety to be exact!

Too bad there’s not a casino nearby.  I could play penny slots all day with those and win a big jackpot and take a really awesome European vacation to pass the time while the girls are gone and meet a really hot Italian man and…

Or I lose my 390 pennies in less than five minutes.  Yeah, that sounds about right.
