lost and found

 Everything has its place

    I admit, I don't always know where that place is.

    Sunday it was my van key.

    I looked everywhere for it.

    I went in the closet  to put dirty clothes in the hamper and saw my work in the yard pants.  I picked them up and checked the pockets....bingo!  My van key.

    On Sunday I went out to mow for the first time.  The mower needed gas.  I picked up the 2 gas cans and they were empty.  I went in the house and got my wallet and the van key.  Then I remembered I don't use the red nozzle  gas can, but a yellow nozzle.  I found that and it had gas.

    No need to go to town.  So I filled the mower and started mowing.

    Usually I don't carry a van key when I mow, because I know there is a possibility I will drop it in the grass at some point.  For some reason,  when I put my wallet in the house I left the key in my pocket.

      Jackie was balancing the checkbook while I mowed.  She had paper spread over the dining room table.

    On Monday I stacked all the checkbook stuff in a pile.  We put the Easter stuff away, and I switched the runner on the dining room table.

    Tuesday she goes back to balancing the checkbook and the check register is gone.  Not only that, the license plate sticker renewal form is also missing.

    I went through the stack of papers, she went through the sack of papers.  We checked every place we thought I might have put it.

    I went through our box of  Easter stuff and.....no register or form.

    I recycle.  In the garage I have a barrel for paper and one for all the other stuff.  I know I don't  have to do. that, but it seems to work out for me.

    Anyway, I went through the paper barrel piece by piece.  No luck.

    I went through our shred box.   No luck.

    All Tuesday I was looking for the form and register.

    Wednesday I briefly looked in all the usual spots.  Nothing.

    Wednesday night as I was going to bed, I thought "Check the table runner."

    Took it out of the drawer, shook i,t  and out it all fell.

    I don't understand how I did that.  It was like a magic act.....now you see it, now you don't

    Tonight I am not missing anything....except sleep.

Peace and Love

        Especially Peace
