Almost 20 years ago, I acquired a large metal cabinet which I thought would be great for storing tools and supplies for woodworking. The problem with the cabinet was that it only had four shelves. Once filled, the cabinet was essentially a large pile of stuff, separated by four shelves. Large items — like tools — were easy to find. Smaller things, like accessories and supplies were much more difficult to keep organized.
Earlier this year, I bought a tool cabinet to replace the large unwieldy box. The tool cabinet has drawers of various sizes that hold specific items and are easy to access. As I was transferring the contents, I discovered many items I though I had either lost or used and which I had replaced. Thus I realized the technique for finding anything you have lost.
Look everywhere the items should be — replace the item — destroy the packaging and receipt for the newly purchased item — find the original. This is guaranteed to work.

The featured image today is a drawer full of sanding disks and disk holders for one of my sanders. Everything in that drawer was purchased because I couldn't find the one I already had. The disk holder cost $18, and I bought two over the years, even though I already had two in that cabinet. As for sanding disks, I have enough to last me and our daughter several years.
Faith (daughter) and I visited Old Sturbridge Village on Saturday for a celebration of bees. On Monday. we made our annual trip to the Big-E — New England's great agricultural fair. You'll hear (and see) more from these visits in the near future.
In what could have been a one-liner, when I went to order my slice of blueberry pie, the clerk asked, "Do you want it with or without ice cream?"

Can you find the bee(s) in the goldenrod?

My phone says it's either an Ivy-Leaved Morning Glory or Ipomoea. Whatever it is, it's growing next to our birdbath
Bridge to Nowhere continues the tradition of character driven stories with strong female characters and well-researched scenarios and the return of a favorite character.
Pittsburgh reporter Rachael Todd has a hard deadline — and it's personal. Her friend is a murder suspect. He knew the victim. He had a strong motive and a weak alibi. Rachael's certain he is being framed, and she'll have to live up to her nickname "Rascal" to clear him.
