"Large amounts of money will come to me in strange and unexpected ways."
That was an affirmation that we used to say all the time when we lived on Downey Street in the Haight. Rarely, if ever, did it come to fruition.



But perhaps it's just a matter of waiting long enough - for yesterday and today, our household has seen a series of cash influxes from a variety of sources, some expected and some unexpected:

1. company bonus check received - bigger than last year!

2. a free flight coupon from Southwest Airlines came in the mail

3. the rent check from Portland arrived

4. Barb got a letter from the SF department of traffic citations saying she had OVERpaid two parking tickets - they will refund us for 2 tickets, for a total of $73!

5. The grocery delivery came with a free gift.

6. Barb got another assignment for Sunset Custom Publishing.



Well, we have already spent some of the money, since we got new patio furniture and tickets to Maui for xmas. But it still feels good to see it come in! almost as much fun as it was to spend it.
