Day 754: The search

One more parent attended a backpacking meeting tonight, so that makes a total of three.  If any other Silver Creek families want to participate, Josh will conduct the meeting.  After all, he has now attended three himself.  We expected to start small.  The advantage that SC has is Josh.  He had put up signs all over the middle school, had his own student meeting after school, put out announcements and wrote a cover letter for ours.

Last night when I got home, there was a message from Mike, the solar power representative.  He needs a copy of the deed to go forward on the project.  So, we started the hunt.  Steve checked the metal strong box where all the important documents are stored and it wasn't there.  Where could it be? I moved from room to room, looking in drawers and closets and boxes.  Of course, it wasn't in any of those places. How could I misplace such an important paper?  Steve went to sleep and I sat up thinking, retracing my steps from four years ago, the last time I saw it.

I slept badly and woke with a terrible headache.  Immediately, we started in again.  I hit a few more boxes of memorabilia and Steve returned to the strong box.  And there it was! Right where it was supposed to be!  GRRRRRRR.

It's not all bad.   I found a bunch of other valuable documents in various drawers that should have been in the box all along.  I threw away a ton of junk and it was delightful to discover some lovely cards, notes and photos.  And we discovered we don't know where our search is.  Damn.

That blasted cat!  Paddy is still sitting outside on the picnic bench.  Three degrees and he won't come in.  Last night, he didn't come in till 1 am.  I can't wait till it warms ups so he can spend the whole night outside.
