When I was much younger, I was famous at a party of having ten or more glasses of my favorite drink. Not because I drank that much, but because I always set the glass down somewhere and lost it, and just got a new one. One party - I hosted - I lost my drink before the first guest arrived and I swore I was not allowed a second till first was found. Well well into party, when reaching for a cloth to clean a spilt something ------ There was my glass, in the linen closet.
Last summer, on our ways to getting ready to travel to Canada, we needed to update our passports. We could not find them. We looked extensively for months. Finally we found them ------ right where we had looked hundreds of times each. They were on top of a box where we hold pens and pencils. A 3 x 5 sticky pad on top of the passports. We had to put our fingers on top of sticky pad, and passports to hold them from sliding off the lid of box as we tilted the lid to look inside. There they had been all that time - in plain site - but slightly hidden.
While cooking dinner, I put the cordless phone on the shelf in the spice cabinet on speaker. If we discover that one of the phones is missing, we look there first. I can't tell you how many times the lost phone is found in that cabinet.
