Found 2 out of 3!

I guess that's not bad. I had bought Lady a huge Costco-size box of dog biscuits a couple of weeks ago at the same time I got the Frontline. I took out some of the biscuits for her treats jar and inserted the Frontline package into the box. I happened to check the box and found the meds, and she is presently on her way to being flea and tick proof for the next month. Now I have to write in my calendar so I can remember when to give it to her next month.

As for the chargers and the camera, I went back to storage this morning and opened a number of boxes to no avail. I was wondering what to do next when I remembered as a little girl losing a dime in the grass. I couldn't find it until my dad told me to ask St. Anthony for help, and within seconds I reclaimed my dime. I dropped all religion quite a few years ago and replaced it with spirituality (and I've never been happier), but I thought what the heck. I reverted to my childhood and asked St. Anthony to help me find the chargers. I didn't think to include the camera at that time, but within just a few minutes I saw one of those reusable cloth bags on the floor near the dining table, and decided to take a look. Damned if two cell phone chargers weren't the first items I saw! Both phones are charged now, and I need to figure out a system to make sure I don't misplace them again. Thanks to everyone who commented and told me about their methods - I will see if I can adapt one of the suggestions.

That leaves the camera. I just don't have the nerve to ask Anthony twice in one day, especially when I felt sort of foolish asking him the first time. So tomorrow I will resume the search for the camera - with a little "help" maybe?

Ara called to tell me she picked up the package with the new camera at the post office today. Of course being in the last week or so of this school term she is very busy with projects that need to get finished, but she will check it out and make sure everything arrived intact. She is excited about getting the camera. What a darling she is, and I would do anything for her!

If everything goes according to plan I should be somewhere in Nevada this time next Friday. I'm trying to keep my excitement in check because of the potential for disappointment. I am looking forward to what should be unlike any other trip I've taken across country.

  1. Okay - will you now come to my house and help me find that stupid computer back up thingie? We got our girls flea and tick proofed today also. That stuff is so expensive. But they're worth it. I'm excited about your journey also. Such wonderful new adventures just around the corner for you.

  2. It will be interesting to find out how many times you will be able to use your tent for the night. I hope the weather is in your corner. ☺

  3. Hey, you do what you have to do. I'm not religious either, but my mother suggested planting a statue of a certain saint(saint Joseph?) upside down in the back yard of the house when I went to sell it. I did it, and the house sold to the first viewer. :)

  4. Um, your not suppose to ask but once a day? Is there a life-time limit on requests? I've probably used up at least two life-times worth already! LOL

  7. I am going to have to try that method of finding things. If it works, I wonder if I could get a permanent connection? I lose a lot of stuff.

  8. Well, I guess that makes 3 of us non religious people here in blogland. Don't figure I'll be asking that Anthony guy for anything anytime soon.........

  9. Haven't you heard about all the white boxes in heaven? They are full answers to prayers that were never prayed and solutions that were never asked for. We should ask God or Jesus or Mary or the Saints, whoever, for anything, anytime. I don't want to have anything that could have helped me end up in one of those white boxes, so I'm always asking for help! (That is actually an old tale or joke or something that I heard, but it makes sense to me.)
