About that missing earring . . .
Yesterday
on Facebook, where I post my blog daily, someone suggested the errant
hoop might have hooked onto something like the bed skirt. Someone else
suggested I check the vacuum cleaner bag.
After
delicate exploratory surgery on a bag that proved to be full of dirt,
dog hair, and dead lady bugs, I returned to check the bed skirt and the
pulls on the chest of drawers. No joy.
Early in my search, I'd picked up this gold link necklace and given it a shake to see if the earring was tangled in it -- and no earring fell out. But this time, something caught my eye . . .
There it was, hiding in plain sight. As folks say, if it had been a snake, it would have bitten me.
As my husband said, if it had been a snake, I'd have seen it.

ha. glad you found it...smiles...dont you hate that too...when you probably looked at it a few times before...smiles.
The smile is back! and now you have a perfect look of everything you possess!
Whew. I am relieved that you found it. I'm been in the snake-seen-it position a number of times. Pays to keep looking.

If at first you miss it, try, try again.
Now, come and help me find the back of the remote, which fell off goodness knows where or when.
Okay. Now that you've found the earring (and I'm delighted that you have), try throwing the earring at the necklace and see if you can get it into the position that it got itself into.
Bet you can't do it.
How do these things happen?
Uh huh. The brownie put it back. Or sort of.
I'm so glad you found it...and that's got to be the most effort anyone ever put out for one gold earring. Maybe I would have found my other gold leaf if I'd tried the vac bag. Argh.
So glad you found it, Vicki. Look at the bright side: you cleaned out your closet and some other things you probably needed to do anyway. If you're like me, you'd have put it off and off and off. Wish something would make me do all the things I need to do.
Wonderful! Now you not only have both earrings, you have a cleaned up dresser and closet.
Vicki, it's grand that your earring revealed itself. Sometimes when something similar happens to me, I wonder about the reality of the Borrowers.

Like any responsible link, it was holding everything together! (I almost told you to look next to the toilet, which is where the diamond from my wedding ring turned up). Glad you found it.
Well one thing's for sure - whatever you've lost is always in the last place you looked for it (grin). Glad you found it Vicki.
I suppose those suggestions, that you followed up, could be described as earring aids?
LOL at Martin's comment!! Too funny. Boy that thing was perfectly camouflaged.
I just heard today that Montford Books, where we had our "beginner" writer's class, is closing. I can't believe it!
I'm famous for overlooking the obvious when I have lost something in the house. I think your senses want you to slow down so they make you look long and hard before they will let you realize it is right in front of your nose. -- barbara
I do things like this all the time. I'm glad you found your earring!
It was obviously a Trick of the Universe meant to fool me into Spring Cleaning.
Oh, Martin . . .
