A Mystery at Betsy's House!!!!!!!

Something strange happened at my home today!!!!!

Now, most stories that have mysteries, have a conclusion with the answer in it.

NOT THIS ONE!!!!!

I live in a little cul-de-sac. There are 5 units on the cul-de-sac.

We all recycle.

We are good folks.

We have blue bins and yellow bins.

We usually just put out our blue bins because that's just what we do.

(Actually, my parents don't have a yellow bin.)

(They only have a blue one.)

(They are just squeaking by.)

(They like to live simply.)

We tend to watch out for each other,

 and the first one down the driveway after the garbage guys pick up the stuff.

 generally puts the bins back in our garages.

Sooooooo.......

Today, when I didn't see the blue bins at the bottom of the driveway, 

I didn't think any thing about it.....

I figured one of my wonderful neighbors had already put them away.

Sooooooo.......

When I went to dump some new paper and plastic in my parents bin.....

and I didn't see their blue bin.....

I was very confused!!!!!

I started scurrying around, looking in all the garages for my folks blue bin!!!!

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED.....

ALL THE BLUE BINS WERE MISSING!!!!!!!!

No one knows where they went.

They have disappeared.

Gone.

Vanished.

I looked on thesaurus.com and this is what it had:

Missing, off-track

absent, adrift, astray, disappeared, down the drain, fallen between the cracks, gone, hidden, invisible, irretrievable, kiss goodbye, minus, mislaid, misplaced, nowhere to be found, out the window, vanished, wayward, without.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sooooooo....... I don't have an ending to this story. I called the property manager, and he doesn't have a clue. Who the hell would take our bins????? AND NOW..... This computer is acting up..... The words won't stay centered on the page. (See how they're slightly to the left, this is driving me nuts.) OY VEY. I was going to write more about Connie's kitchen, but I just had to share about our recycling bins. Now tell me the truth. Are you jealous that my life is so exciting????? Admit it, you are, you know you are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On another note..... Yesterday,  my newest niece  (she just married my nephew Dan)  came to my house for the first time. Now this was slightly unnerving because she is also Martha Stewart's niece. Can you imagine the comparison????? When I am in the middle of one of my creative spurts,  there tends to be #$% all over my house. By my front door, just what you see when you enter my home, is a whole pile of stuff for my niece Miriam. I have her drapery rods and a lamp and lampshade and a box of toss pillow forms. All crammed in by the front door, waiting to go to Miriam's house. I'm sure my new niece Sophie's other aunt is much neater. However..... she won my heart, when she looked at my bedroom, and commented on how..... (wait for it......) NEAT MY ROOM WAS!!!!! So,  I now have a new member of my family who appears to be really nice. She even tried to laugh at my jokes. She's also not bad to look at!!!!! Not to play favorites, but my other niece, Julia, just got married too. TO A NICE DOCTOR!!!!! OY! He's also very handsome. And I'm not just saying that 'cuz he's now related to me. On my next blog post, I promise to go back to decorating, but sometimes life just gets in the way of toss pillows, ya know????? On that note, Latah, Gatah
