About ten ago we had an epic snowfall. I mean waist deep. Digging out the front walk, I lost an earring. I was so angry and I swore I was done with shoveling for good. This winter, getting into DHs car in the driveway, I looked down and there it was, barely sticking out from under the siding. Our driveway is in the back of the house. Best as I can figure, when the drive was ploughed, the earring was pushed along and ended up close to the backyard and under the siding. Ten years of snow melt and rain had finally washed it out. Years in the salt have corroded a bit but now I have a pair again.

About 15 years ago, we helped my MIL buy a used car. We cleaned it out for her, and found papers on the previous owner, who we realized was a teacher that our sons had in grade school. DH removed the floor mats to replace them, and found a diamond ring wedged underneath. We contacted him, and it turned out to be his wife's engagement ring, which had been lost several years before that! He said they had "torn the car apart" looking for it!

I found my car keys in the fridge. I bought groceries and carried a gallon on milk in the same hand I was holding my keys. I put the milk in the fridge and dropped the keys. Three hours later, after looking everywhere I could think of, I reached in for the milk and there they were.

Couldn't find my dentures for 3 days! Checked "everywhere", pockets, purses, cupboards....but forgot to look under an upside down bowl in the fridge!!

I lost a ring one spring, searched everywhere I thought including the back yard, it finally showed up in the pocket of a flannel shirt that had been put away for the summer.

Found some printer ink that I had been searching for.....in the freezer along with some frozen food I had bought that day.

While working at the Joplin Public Library, we were alerted to look for some keys that a woman had lost. We retraced her steps with her but did not find them. Several weeks later while looking through the card catalog....there they were holding a place to what she was looking up.

Lost my glasses, was embarrassed to find them on top of my head. Now I'm in the habit of patting the top of my head whenever I start looking for my glasses. That probably looks strange to anyone who doesn't know the story...

Lost my keys many times, have found them in the freezer, in the garbage, anywhere but where they should be.

Another strange but true. I lost my soon-to-be husband's class ring in the lake. About two years later some guys were looking for some tools they had dropped in the lake and found it. It was traced by the initials in it. When we went to pick it up, I was holding my tiny new born son.

Making the bed one morning, I kicked DH's dentures out from under the bed in a baggie. :DHe told me later he couldn't find them the night before, but was to embarrassed to tell me. We still have a laugh about it to this day.
