So the day starts off all calm and nice, strolling through holiday decor store and getting ideas for creating a cozy home, lunch and more girl chat. Laura: I want to see some more antique shops, maybe Ill find another of my Blue Cornflower treasures, like I found in Sequim with Beth Monika: Hmmm I know just where Ill take you! Snohomish, is full of antique shops Onward we go, raining like the dickens, but that doesnt stop us...we are two women on a mission. We arrive on antique row in downtown Snohomish. Visual overload ensues with all the treasures before us, and oh look....a hat!!! (Suirrel) Laura:Monika, Monika, put this on! LOL LOL LOL Monika: OMG, I need a hair net hat! LOL LOL LOL (The need for Depends is vitally needed at this point!! LOL LOL LOL 50yr old women, no bathroom in sight, and ridiculous hats on our heads, you can imagine!!! Bingo!! I find what Laura was in search of...yay!! She now leaves WA with not one, but two of her lil treasures. The rain is pouring down, the shops are now closing, and we are wet from walking the small town stree! Heading for the car....ummmmm....NO KEYS!! Ummm....Laura I lost the car keys!! Standing in the rain, banging on the glass door of the one store we think they MIGHT be in...to no avail. What now? Time to call for road side assistance to help us get into my car, hoping spare key inside car, or at least get garage door opener to use when we figure out a ride to my house....but who is going to give us a ride home? Definetly not calling the one person who lives locally close by...nope not going there...taxi?? Pay a stranger $20 bucks....think think think Pooh! Thank God for small towns and small town business shop owners!!!!! We find a shop that is still open...Excuse me, we lost our keys, by chance do you happen to know the owners of the store next door to you, we believe the keys are in there? Shop owner....Yes I have a number I can call She calls somebody, not the owner of the store, but someone else, who might know the number to the owner....as she is speaking, this person says....she has a set of keys!!! She was waiting for us to see if we showed up, and she will wait for us!! We run out of the store....down a couple of blocks to get to the other shop, who has a sign taped to the store front...Lost Keys...call this numberXXXXXX Thank you Jesus!!!! Cancel the tow truck...we have our keys...we are wet, stomach cramps from laughing our heads off...all the while...not once worried about lost keys, not worried about how we are getting Laura to airport, not worried about leaving my car alone on the street, or if I EVEN have a spare set of keys at home....NO sir...we are both more concerned how we are going to post to FB all our silly hat pics!!!!! Thelma and Louise...perhaps...or maybe more like Lucy and Ethel??? Today was totally PRICELESS!!!!!!! And now we sit and rest our stomach and facial muscles from non stop laughing and sharing!!!!! This is what life is made of!!!! xoxoxo :) Love ya Laura Richardson
