My Bracelet

I've worn the same bracelet on my right arm for over 12 years....I've rarely taken it off.  Since it's sterling silver it doesn't hurt it wear it 24-7.
Yesterday I caught it in the arm rest of the Jeep and broke it.  Darn!!!  I loved that bracelet.
So, the reason I'm sharing this little story..... isn't to complain so much as to share a story with you.

As I said I've rarely taken it off..... but a few years ago I had to remove it for my surgery.  I'm not sure where I put it....but after my surgery I couldn't find it anywhere.  I thought I had put it somewhere safe...so safe that even I couldn't find it.   

A few months passed and as I was walking to the mail box .... I looked down and there was my bracelet all covered in mud.   The charm my friend had given me was gone but my bracelet was okay.
I was so happy to have found it!!!!  But how the heck did it get there?  I know I didn't drop it on the way to the post office when I remember removing it for my surgery.  

  I lost a coin ring several years ago (when Chase was a baby) and to this day I still look for it.  Not sure why..... we've lived in 6 houses since then :)  For some reason I keep thinking I misplaced it and it will turn up.


Rewind thirty something years ..... when I was a child ......my daddy gave me some money when I passed from one grade to the next....I put the money in such a safe place that I didn't find it for a whole year :)
