Not to be car obsessed, but getting a new car and getting rid of an old one is a big deal. Not quite on the order of a home, but similar in some respects. One thing when I was cleaning out my old car, tucked away in the passenger door fold was a very old cellphone. It was quite small, pocket sized..Not sure if it was a flip phone or not. Who knows when that was put there, and why? I didn't realize I had an old phone in the car. I probably thought I lost it or something. Have you found something recently that surprised you?

I've been walking the property this morning. Three grape vines are starting to sprout leaves. The fourth- just a stick- I thought of as compost material. Nope. This morning a side shoot from it is starting to leaf out. Made me happy to see it.

Maybe Sadie rolled it there? A girl's just gotta have fun.

Just this week I found a poem I had written. I was sure that when I last saw it it was in a desk drawer. I wanted to share it, and could not find it. I was cleaning around my computer, and found it there.

That's frustrating. I get extremely frustrated if I don't find the things I am looking for around me

It IS a big deal - even moreso at this time. We had to do that back in January. Hubby actually had a bag of stuff from the old car . . . I hadn't realized he had it til recently as I thought I got everything out of my old car. He found a few old gift cards (how'd it get there), and some miscellaneous paper work.

I always like exploring a new car after I've bought it just so I know what is there if we need it...
Actually, I did find a phone charging brick yesterday after the guy that was working in the bathroom left. I had to clear out the top of my bedroom closet so he could get into the attic so I stacked everything from the closet on my bed. After the guy left, I started looking through all the boxes that had been stored since we moved in here seven years ago. One of the things I found that we thought we'd lost in the move was a Black Web 18,200 mAh battery charger.
I kept telling Pretty that I remembered charging it up and putting it somewhere but couldn't remember where I'd put it... The best part is it still has a full charge after seven years!

Yes, I will miss my old car, in particular the sun roof, but it's time had come

I found the one hundred dollar bill among papers that were meant to be destroyed. I thought I had lost it. It was the balance I got back form my tour.

@snowy22315 I gave it to my neighbour who was visiting her daughter in the US and asked her to get some things for me.

I remember losing my swipe badge for work once in a car that we used to have.
It was dark when I turned left out of the parking lot, and I heard it slide across the passenger seat and hit the inside of the door.
Half a year later my hubby found it when he was giving it the once over as he had traded it in on another car and he found it.
I had already paid for a new one by that point in time.

@snowy22315 Somehow, it had slipped down under the passenger seat. We searched and searched for it, but never found it. I think that the back seat floor mat must have gotten moved under the front seat and maybe hid it from view. I will never know.

@snowy22315 - I searched everywhere to find those keys. I do not give him anymore the double of the keys, he is too forgetful now.
