Keys lost in November: Found!

In November my main set of keys disappeared somewhere here at home. I wrote about it back then and got many good suggestions about finding them. We searched high, low and sideways, but no luck.
Yesterday, after a wet and even snowy winter, Anne was out on the far side of the garage and there they were. They are not even too rusty and the chip to lock/unlock my car still works.
I was very surprised when she handed them to me yesterday. Lost keys seem to be a big subject on myLot. It is strange how often that cam happen.

It really surprised me too. They were not in a sheltered spot at all.

Since we were sure we had them at home the night before they disappeared, we did not replace anything.

@JamesHxstatic This was a good idea, so now you have your keys back and you can use them.

Murphy's Law - the time that we actually stop looking for something is the time it actually shows up!

How did you manage in the meanwhile?
I had lost a hundred dollar bill. It was the balance I brought back after my holiday abroad. I remember keeping it safely among other papers. It was my niece who found it among papers that were kept for trashing. Probably when I was sorting out papers it must have slipped there.

@JamesHxstatic I made good use of those dollars. My neighbour was going to the US. I gave her those dollars and gave a list of what I wanted (lol)

I think it happens a lot because people are in a hurry.

Just as a saying here, find something by chance after traveling far and wide in search of it.The keys have been playing hide and seek with you.

One key rusted a bit, but key chain was quite rusty.

@JamesHxstatic I found it under the car seat today, problem I can't get it to work. I don't want to carry it in for repairs.

Sometimes when you lost something and trying to find it they wont turn up. And then they just turn up mocking us for all the hours and days that we were looking for them.

I am glad we did not do that since the new car key would have been over a hundred dollars. I would not be so happy about finding them.

There are many good reasons not to miss snow. I think it belongs in the mountains.
