Popster was playing in a golf outing that was out of town & would be gone all day so I asked him to see if he could get a ride & leave his SUV home for me to use. Great idea at the time but one that proved to be very challenging!
I was going to Mark & Dani's at 4:00 so we could go out to eat. Around 3:00 I decided to take Molly over to Jenkins to run off some energy. I had bought her a new toy....a boomerang.....& she, of course, was being her usual "I'm not sharing my new toy" self & wouldn't give it back for me to throw again. I would have to go over to where she was & bribe her with treats to get it back. We did two laps around the field & when I got back to the gate I no longer had any car keys in my hand!!!!!
"Why didn't I put them in my pocket" you might ask!
Don't
I always put the key ring over my pinkie. "Did I" you might ask!
Don't
"Was I carrying my cell phone" you might ask!
Don't..............it was locked in the car!
Was I wearing sneakers??
Of course not I had thrown on my garden clogs because I figured the grass would be wet!
Now picture the grass hasn't been cut for several weeks so except for the track around the perimeter where everyone walks it is extremely long. I started walking in a zig zag pattern back around the way I had gone all the time trying to figure what to do. There wasn't a soul around (of course)! I was thinking I could walk up to Scott's house...about a mile & a half then another 1/4 mile down his driveway but what if no one was home. I could walk back home only about 3 miles but in those stupid garden clogs! I had another key at home but I still needed to find Popster's keys.........it has every key he owns on it. After about 45 mins I found them.
Lesson learned ....
