Ugh!

This always happens. I am preparing to pack for a trip for Hubby and myself. I always have packed for him, and so I feel responsible for his cases being packed correctly.

At dinner tonight he mentioned the photo album that he put together of his days in Vietnam, the faces and places that he had known. As hubby was there in the early days of the Vietnam war, the pictures are mostly of the places he saw and the men he served with. It’s a great album.

My problem? I cannot find the bloody thing! I have looked in almost every nook and cranny in our house and discovered that besides my house needing a drastic cleaning, I cannot find this album!

So where is it? We bring it to each reunion that we go to, but we have not been in a while. I have stored the album at the base of the stairs in our house for years. So, why isn’t it there now?

It’s driving me slightly insane and I keep getting up and walking around looking for this album, like it will instantly appear. As you can guess, it hasn’t.

A few minutes ago, while I was sitting here trying to relax, I started thinking. When had we seen this last? What were we doing? In the last year was there a time we had it out?

I got up. I walked through the house again, and then something began pulling me to a cupboard in our family room. I opened the doors (I had been there before too) and looked and my eyes caught the corner of the album!

THERE IT WAS!!!!!

So I can sleep in peace tonight, with no worries about the album and best of all…I found my black sandals, which I will now wear with my black and magenta skirt!

All’s well that ends well!

  1. I hate it when stuff like that happens! In my case, more times than not I don’t find it (or find it way after I needed it). Hope you have fun on your trip!

  2. What a relief. Not being able to find something like that drives me absolutely mental. I literally cannot function until it’s found, so I completely understand your panic.

    Have a wonderful trip, you’re going to knock their socks off with all those gorgeous new clothes!

  3. The subconscious mind is a wonderful thing, as it eventually solves problems for us, like latent memories and unfound objects. Have a great trip and stay warm. Weather Channel indicates some cooler weather in place. What is your destination?? 67 here his AM. Love you.

  4. Happy you found it. I hate those hunts for lost or misplaced items. I know you’ll have a great time. Love YOU, Mel

  5. LOL! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good for you! I HATE it when something like that happens… most of the time I end up telling myself I must have thrown it away… but that would NEVER happen with a photo album! So… I would have been going nuts too. So were the black sandals in the cupboard too?
