This story is so similar to what happened to me about three Christmases ago. We came out to Colorado right after Christmas to spend a week at my parents. Since there was so much snow that year, we spent and afternoon riding on a snow tube being pulled behind my dad’s four-wheeler. I had my camera out to take pictures of my oldest sitting on the tube. I then put my camera in my coat pocket to climb on board and ride with him. When the ride was complete, I noticed my camera was missing. I looked until it was dark, retracing the path we had taken on the last ride and couldn’t find it. I was devestated because it had pictures from my youngest’s first Christmas on it and hadn’t d/l to a computer yet. We looked the next day in the light – still couldn’t find it. Then my sister called up a coworker who had a metal detector. We retraced the entire route again finding lots of false positives! Finally we got to the end of the route and found it burried in the snow! It had fallen out where I had climbed off the tube! The camera and pictures were safe!

This shows great patience, levelheadedness and calm from the storm. Also, creativity in using the metal detector (in the snow much less – who would have thought it would work?!). Also, your perseverance to solve the problem logically and without a lot of extra drama. This is a great story for one of your chapters in the book of life!

Shortly after we were married I ate out for lunch, washed my hands afterwards. When i got back to the office I realized the ring was missing (came off while drying my hands). What is worse, i was eating at a place a good hour from my office! Thankfully, they kept the trash bag, i was able to sort through it the next day and find the ring…sweet relief.
