Well, right now the hardest part of getting out my door is finding my cane! Don't use it in the house except for early morning and late night but … where on earth did I leave it?! When did I use it last?
Usually it's on the wrong side of the table or hidden behind the drying dishes on my kitchen counter or somehow got tucked behind the curtain in the bathroom.... Good grief! Why is it on the floor in the corner?
You get the idea...

The strangest thing I ever misplaced was a set of keys. I looked for the longest time. I finally admitted to my self I lost them when I was out somewhere which didn't make sense since I had to drive home with them. I had a new set made so I could get in and out of the house, the garage, and the car. A couple years went by before I found them in my husband's golf bag. I have no idea how they got there. I was cleaning things out after he was gone (first husband since deceased) and found them in the bottom of the bag much to my surprise. It gave me extra house keys now and garage key, but the car I no longer had. It was great to have out extra safe deposit key back though.

I’m mindful where I put keys but I misplaced my keys for work and looked for several days. One day I moved my purse and heard a familiar noise of keys clinking together. A seam had come open in my purse lining & the keys had slid in there. Needless to say, I was happy & fixed the hole immediately !

How about glasses ? A friend was looking for her glasses and her husband chided her about “how could anyone lose their glasses?” She then noticed he was wearing them.

Just last week, I was putting together my crumb quilt. I thought I had had seven rows completed, but there on the table were three and spread on the floor were three more. I looked and counted several times and concluded that I needed to make another row. As I bent over the table to collect pieces for that, guess what I found. Can anyone guess where? No, not on the table.

I may have posted about this before, but I picked up a small (1') oval hoop for hand quilting small projects. About a month later when I needed it for a project, I couldn't find it. This was in a small, 4 room house with just me and DH. I looked everywhere and finally gave up. Then I found it in the attic, in a place I know I did not put it, and DH never did anything in the attic. Still don't know how it got there.

My answer sounds strange! The strangest place I have found anything is usually where it is supposed to be after tearing apart house, car, coat pockets etc. and giving up and going to where item should be and how could I have missed it the first hundred times?
