I have found that as I get older I am more prone to be attached
to certain not so important objects. Things that others may see
as trivial. The other day I searched the whole house over for
a spatula. Not just any spatula mind you..one I use for
everything. I even have mom using it. On my search I came
across many items that I thought I had lost. Some things
I was glad to see again. Scissors and clippers and placemats
and kitchen towels. I never thought to look outside the kitchen
for the spatula. WHY on earth would it be anyplace else?
So spatula was missing for at least 3 days. I began to fear it
it was thrown out. Heaven Forbid that happen. I loved it's
ease of use and the silicone rubber how it wouldn't burn. Justwhen I gave up all hope of finding it. It resurfaced.. none the worse
for wear. Where was it you ask? Well it appears that mom had
used it for something in the BEDROOM of all things and left
it there. I asked her what she used it for and she could not
remember, but we both were happy to see it again.Thanks Sue..
I don't think you ever thought that I would use and get attached to
your gift so much.

I get attached to a lot of things like that... cloths and the like because Nana used them... when Papa passes, I'll be that way about his stuff, too... so it's ok to be that way!!
I have occasionally misplaced a treasured household object and sweat bullets trying to find it again!
Yesterday it was the bottom ring of a bird feeder. not exactly a household object but still...
The squirrel flinger feeder's battery/motor is being replaced and I am waiting on a replacement from the manufacturer. I thought I lost or threw away the feed ring and I was all panicky. There it was...right at my feet in the walk in closet.
