Discovery

I have discovered some new things tonight….
#1 Don’t play with your wedding ring off of your finger near a couch with a black hole.
#2 Don’t ever give up on missing items in your house.

Tonight while relaxing and enjoying some evening TV I accidentally dropped my wedding ring. I hoped that it just fell on the floor, but much to my dismay it fell into the deep darkness of our couch. Tonight was not the night for this. I was watching my show and the last thing I felt like doing was shoving my arms into my couch and bruising them up trying to find my ring. Of course I had no choice so I reached in to see what I could discover.

What I found was not pretty… Lots and lots of unwanted things touched my stretched out fingertips. You know we all have them in there, don’t pretend like you don’t. I did pull out a few things. A toy spoon, a few cards to one of the kids’ decks, a few hair things….

After tipping the couch every which way, banging the bottom and stretching and bruising myself as much as I possibly could, I felt it. The cold smooth round shape of my ring!!! I slowly reached my fingers out. I had to be careful to not knock it our of my reach and lose it for ever!!! Slowly, slowly, (pain, pain, pain in my squished arms)… No it’s slipping away in between something!!! It was gone. But wait where did it go to.

That is when I discovered where the black whole went to… There was another layer of this couch. And after more looking I discovered a little hole which my hand could fit into.
What bounty!!! What Treasures!!! Toys I had long giving up on, pretty much a whole deck of cards, a thing of chap stick, even things I didn’t know where gone, and my Tetras game!!!! HURRAY!!!!
Last but not least my ring now sits on my finger where it belongs. Many adventures this ring has been on. Last year it was lost in my glove on a cold winter day, this year the couch, what will become of it next year….
