A story to tell

Once upon a time, about a year and a half ago, it was a beautiful

Easter Sunday.  We took cute pictures, went to church, and then

we went to Grandma Shirley's house for dinner and and easter egg

hunt and lots of family and fun.  Well, Sadie got a special present from

her cousin, DeDe.  Sadie wanted to put that present in the car to keep

it safe so she asked her dad for the keys to the car so that she could

put that extra special present in the car.  Now Sadie was supposed

to bring those keys right back to her dad, but with all the excitement

and family and fun she just forgot.  It was getting late and the time to 

go home was upon us.  That's when dad said, " oh yeah, I gave the keys

to Sadie"!  Oh, Sadie, "Where are the keys to the car?"  Uhhhhh  Uhhhhh

didn't I give them back to you...........  We sent out a search party looking

for these keys.  Now grandma Shirley's back/side/front yard is no 

ordinary yard.  We have hills and valleys and ponds and flowers and

shrubbery and just about anything you can imagine.  Sadie was most

certain that Max had gotten a hold of the keys and threw them in the

pond.  End of keys!  Of course Cory had an extra set of keys and we 

got home and called about getting new keys.  300 DOLLARS are you

kidding me.  We will have to make do with one set of keys.........

Now we fast forward a year and a half.  I received a phone call the

other day and I kid you not our keys have been found and all of

the buttons work.  ( ie. lock and unlock)  Grandma Shirley gave

away a few bags of old clothes to her housekeeper.  Her housekeeper

was going through the clothes and in one of the pockets were a 

set of keys, MY keys.  We don't know how the keys got in 

grandma's pocket, but We are happy to have them back.
