THE LAND OF LOST THINGS

The Queen is beginning to believe that there is a place for 'lost' things.  Not 'lost' as in not going to heaven.  But 'lost' because you know they exist in someplace that you may have put them so that you would know where they were.

We are becoming more and more convinced that there is such a place -- maybe one in every living space.

Now this Queen's actual living space is not large by any standard; a one bedroom, compact living space.  So we ask you:  How can things just disappear?

First it was all her very important documents!  Now, folks, I mean.  Great care was taken to put these in a place where they wouldn't get misplaced!  Ha, I say, and again, Ha!  Her abode has been scoured many times by at least two people, looking in all the likely and unlikely places.  And, no.  Not a hint!  Now this is not a good thing.

Second:  some everyday type jewelry.  Most of the good Queen's jewels -- there are some actually worth something -- are found.  However, the go to, put-that-on stuff has ------you got it -----disappeared.  From what the Queen can accurately remember, probably not a great loss monetarily, but definitely missed and not really replaceable.  Phoooooeeeey.

As you know, if you know the Queen, she likes to do creative stuff.  So in preparation for a crafty giftey, she purchased some tea bags.  Ya know. Empty for people who make their own blends......And, I might add, these come in large quantities.  100.  Now that should last even the avid tea maker a while.  So this little stash was put away til needed.

Today, they are needed.  Are they anywhere around?  No.  And again, I say NO.  Empty tea bags are not outrageously expensive, but that's not the point.

Are all of these things together somewhere doing the Lost Things Dance! and giggling.

Not to mention that it makes our Queen grumpy when she can't find things.
