Do you throw pennies into fountains?



Backstory

... and make wishes? I used to throw change into fountains, but I have not seen any fountains lately. If I see one, I will throw in a few coins and make a wish or two.

I haven't seen one lately either! But I always used to throw pennies. Bevvie, what's your wish?

Bevvie says,

My current personal wish is for good health, so I can be around for my son and grandsons. Generally, I wish for great lives for everyone.

Nice JL! Always for me to. It's a favorite of Ella Bella's.

Bevvie says,

I loved throwing in coins with my son. I never missed the fountains where the coins went to support a good cause. Hope to throw coins in a fountain with my twin grandsons.
