Eureka! (I Have Found It!)

I like to wear some pieces of jewelry all the time - rings, watch, earrings, and occasionally a rope chain bracelet or my Pandora bracelet. Occasionally I lose an earring which really bums me out. Most recently one was lost our last day on South Padre Island. I suspect the right earring flipped out of my earlobe when I was putting on or taking off my binoculars for the last time and I only discovered the loss after we had driven a few hundred kilometres on our route home.

Some time ago, I noticed that I couldn't find my beloved Pandora bracelet. I knew it had to be somewhere in the house as it has a very secure clasp and could not have fallen off when I was wearing it away from home. It has several charms/beads that I bought on our trip to Italy when I found landmark Tedora beads which are compatible for Pandora bracelets.

I have hunted high and low, to no avail. If I allowed myself to dwell on the loss, it would make me very sad. Today, I was rooting around in my jewelry case in which I've searched for my bracelet several times and lo and behold! I found my bracelet! It was hiding under a rather large Peanuts watch. Yay!! I have no idea why I didn't find it before now as I'm pretty good at finding things (as I'm often misplacing stuff or finding stuff Skip has misplaced).

I'm so happy I found it with the all the souvenir charms.

Irish charm, Caribbean island charm, camera

La Bocca della Verità, Pantheon, suitcase, Colosseum

 I'm so relieved. When I go out with my sorority sisters, we all wear our Pandora bracelets. Now I can wear mine again!
