Well, I have a happy update to the Ominous Jacket Thief post. For those of you who sided with Rich on the matter, you were correct.
Since my post, we have recovered 2 of the missing 4 jackets. One, the beige cordouroy jacket, was left at our church picnic and recovered at church last Wenesday night when I inquired of the lost and found. The other, the black coudouroy jacket, was recovered at our Home Bible Study group on Monday night. Yes, I had worn it in and left it sitting on a chair in the Engels kitchen.
Now, where the other two jackets are, I do not (and may never) know. It seems that the Chattanooga Jacket Thief was a figment of my over-active imagination.
But it makes a much better story than a forgetful girl leaving her outerwear scattered throughout the city.
Gremlins–that’s it! Surely they’ve been at work! They’ve been to my house too and taken a navy blue sock–it has nothing to do with throwing them in my Tahoe and searching high and low for them there a few days later–one is definitely gone!
Alas, my daughter….you take after your Granny Bear (on your DAD’s side of the family…..)
Remember all of the sweaters and jackets she used to leave behind? It’s hereditary…..
