A couple of weeks ago my bookmark came up missing. This bookmark was a gift, and had an Angel attached. I use it all the time, and I couldn't imagine where it went. One second it was there; in the next second it was gone. I searched. Nada. I called my SIL and asked him to ask my grandkids, who had been here all afternoon, if either of them knew where it was. They did not. I wasn't convinced, but figured it would evenutally show up.... I cleaned thoroughly, still no sign of the bookmark.
A week or so ago my meat thermometer disappeared. I tend to wash my good knives and I place them on a town on the counter to dry. Larry had used the thermometer while grilling, and I cleaned it and put it and the plastic sleeve it goes in when not being used on the towel to dry. We needed it again, and the red plastic holder was there, but no thermometer! I searched. Lar searched. Again, I called the mother of my grands and had her ask about the thermometer, again with the same claims of innocense. I bought a new one at the store a couple days later because we really do use a thermometer a lot when cooking.
Fast forward to this weekend. Yesterday afternoon Renee spilled something all over the shirt she was wearing, and I sent her to the bathroom and her 'basket', where I keep spare clothes for the kids. She came back with a puzzled look on her face. "Gramma! Look what I found in my basket?" It was my theromometer! Now, yes, I did look in the bathroom, even glanced in the baskets, but didn't spot anything.... I just smiled and rewashed the thermometer.
Just a few seconds ago, I found my bookmark. Peeking out from under this chair. Now, I assure you, I have vaccuumed in this room SEVERAL times since that bookmark was 'lost'. This chair has been pulled out, swept under. I checked under the cushions and down the sides of the chair when the bookmark came up missing. It wasn't here. So, to suddenly find it this morning, AFTER the thermometer was found, tells me that a little mischief maker has decided to return my objects.
Not much to report on the DD front. Lar has been working twelve hours a day during the heat wave we just went through; I am working hard on stories so I am able to leave on vacation Friday! We are too tired for mischief. lol

It reminded me of a story I read as a kid called the "Borrowers." At least, they are returning your items. *laughs*

Hi Joannie, I have been trying to reach you by email to join Joannie and friends but keep failing. Someone suggested leaving you a message here. Can we possible touch base this way?
