I've only beat him once.
This year would be different. I was off to a good start early in the year, finding a lot of quarters. Then I seemed to fizzle out into penny oblivion as the year went along. It would be close.We settled down to counting around 8:45pm, after the girls had gone down for the night. I knew I was in trouble when I saw him counting his quarters. Uh-oh.
I ended up finding only five nickels, but I did find 14 quarters. Not enough to win, though. I finished the year with $7.44. Greg? He finished with $9.33. Oh, well. I already found a dime with Michaela at the airport today. I'll get him this next year.

So if we leave a trail of change will you come visit our house?
We promise to play hide the quarters and you can keep the change - does that count or is it cheating to have your friends plant the money you find? Good luck anyway.
What a neat idea... After having read this post, I decided to give it a try and do the same. So, a few days ago, while at the BART station, I thought "Why not stop by the change machine for a few seconds?" Lo and behold, I found no coins at all. However, I did find an unclaimed $5 bill lying on the floor. :-) So, Pastor Michael, as far as my coin collecting game, it seems like I'm off to an excellent start for the year! :-) Thanks to your nice little idea.
By the way, I stumbled upon your blog from another link. It was a nice surprise, as I remember seeing you and your brothers singing at a concert a few years ago. Maybe you still remember of an Indonesian Baptist Church around the Bay Area? It was there that I saw the concert.
May God continue to bless you and your whole family with His wonderful grace.
In His grace,
Jessica
