The money clip

Tales from the backyard..  I was taking a bath this evening and as I stepped out onto the bath mat, I remembered some 20 odd years ago how I obtained it.  I was taking a course at Harper's Ferry, one of our training centers, and after class was walking around the old historic town, alone as always, taking in the history of this wonderful place.  At some point I reached into my pocket and upon pulling my hand out, my money clip with over a hundred dollars slid out and onto the sidewalk, without knowing, I kept walking.  One of the merchant’s across the street saw this and went over and found the clip, but I was long gone, too far to be hailed back.  Two nights later, walking the same area, I was hailed by the young owner of the store and she asked if I had been here two days before.  I said I had and she asked if I might have lost something, I said I did, “my money clip”.  She invited me in and handed me the clip with all the money.  I offered her a reward but she refused, but she couldn’t refuse a sale and so I purchased our $100 lovely handmade rag woven bath mat that matched our bathroom.  The world is so wondrous.
