Just one of those days


We went shopping. Had a Wonderful time!! D bought some very nice things - the trip really was for him. Izod had women's coats for $10 ~ so I bought two: a reversible all-weather coat and a black wool jacket. We went to Sears and bought a new vacuum cleaner. Walked to the car, loaded it up, and D couldn't find his keys. He had his keys. We drove there. He had been back and forth to the car a couple of times to load bags and packages. We think - although we couldn't remember for Sure - that he had had to unlock the car to load in the vacuum. So where did the keys go? 

Five of us (we two and three amazing folks from Sears) searched the car - over and over again. We searched Sears. We searched Izod. We searched the parking lot. The keys had simply disappeared in a puff of pale blue powder. I even searched the pockets of my new jackets just in case the keys had fallen in the package and slipped into the pocket of a new coat.

The reserve set in the car didn't work, and by then the old battery had died. OnStar got us a tow truck and we came home ~ and we still need to get a new key from the dealership. What a day! We came exhausted and hungry as we had eaten a small breakfast and were heading for lunch when we couldn't find the keys. 

Tessie was with us and was not happy about the ride home in the tow truck. We Love Randy who rescued us and allowed Tessie in the cab with us for the ride home. And in all of this there is gratitude for an unseasonably warm day with no rain or snow falling. Thanks be for fine weather! There is always something for which to be grateful ~ blessings
