40 dollar lesson

As we are on our weekend hike today, Wan and I made a deal about giving our fellow hiking friends who are also vets a surprise thank you gift for their service.  However, my carelessness lost the 40 that she contributed.  Now I am left with the whole donation, which is what I wanted to give in the first place.  Its a lesson learned about putting your money in a safe place so it does not go missing.
