The disappearing hat

[CarolfromTX]

In preparation for an upcoming cruise to Alaska, I bought a knit hat and gloves on Amazon. Both came. I put them away, in the same place, or so I thought. Thinking about packing, so I found the gloves but the hat is nowhere to be found. Looked everywhere. No hat. Sigh. I guess I’ll be bringing back a souvenir hat. I swear, a gremlin lives in this house and randomly hides stuff, then makes it reappear when it’s no longer useful. No doubt the hat will turn up in August.

That's strange I thought I was the only one that had a Gremlin living in the house!

I bought an expensive garden pruning shears last year. I always had cheap ones that broke so I thought this time I'm getting good ones. This spring they were no where to be found so for Mothers Day I got a new pair - even better than last years and I put those in a safe place, too. Somewhere in my house there are two pairs of fine pruning shears....probably having a few laughs at my expense.

Try your winter coat pockets. That's where I found mine.

I do that all the time. I put something away and consciously say to myself "okay now remember where you put this". Then when I go to get retrieve it is nowhere to be found. I used to get frustrated about it. Now I try to laugh.

Bought a Victorinox Swiss Army Watch.
I have many watches (I seldom wear anymore) and decided to wear the SA watch recently.
No where to be found. Guess the gremlin needed a reliable time piece.

I learned never to put anything away. Just keep a small handful of piles out in plain sight. What you're looking for is in one of 5 places.

I agree.^

@CarolfromTX, You're going to Alaska? Wow! Hope you have a wonderful time!
@OldFeller, Love your new avatar!

@Gaer indeed we are. A 9 day cruise in and out of Seattle. Bucket list! Going to see Butchart Gardens in Victoria as well. That’s been on my bucket list for 40 years.

If you are going to Butchart you might like to try Government House on Rockland they have the most beautiful gardens, as well as abkhazi gardens. But you are probably only in Victoria for a few hours. Enjoy your visit to Victoria.

They follow me everywhere. Still don't know what I did with a print I got from Etsy.

Carol, what you have to do is buy an identical hat, then when you go to put it away, the old hat will magically appear. Happens all the time.

This happens to me too often, especially with grocery items....I've been known to dig through the trash and crevices in the car looking for disappearing groceries.

Buschart Gardens is a wonderful place, that started out as a gravel quarry, way back when. You will enjoy it. JimB.
