Hooray For Safe Returns

After over two months (actually I believe since Civic holiday Monday) our most favorite and cherished trivet/pot-holder has returned to his home in the tea-towel drawer. It is unfortunate that such objects are not equipped to relate to us their stories, because we certainly would like to know where he has been for those many weeks. With no warning at all, he just up and left that unfortunate day in August, leaving us bewildered and confused. Perhaps he grew tired of that small, dark little drawer, and after yearning to see the world beyond the kitchen, he finally decided to take off for a while. His return today was as unexpected and surprising as his departure - we just opened up the drawer, and there he was, nice and quiet, as if he had never left at all. Silly pot-holder!

hurray for his return! Glad to hear he did not suffer any harm on his journeys... where ever they did take him. Perhaps a tracking device might work should he ever try it again? ;)

Thank goodness you did not have to call the Federal National Potholders Locating Agency (fondly known as the FNPLA) I hear they charge exorbitant fees for errant potholders and it would be far beyond your means to deal with such a thing requiring many trips to the bank and the lawyer to arrange for suitable loans and adequate interest rates and ransom protection and ... Just too much trouble
