less frequent

I'm not quitting or taking a break, I'm just blogging less often because time spent on the computer seems to make me feel unwell. Also, I do need to spend more time with the children. They need leadership as well as supervision.

Anyway, today Bob had off for a "goal Day" so we puttered around. Went to Mildenhall to the market, and then to the base for lunch. But we noticed the thrift store was open, so went in there first. Then we went to eat, but when I got out of the car I noticed my billfold (which was in my pocket at the thrift store) wasn't there anymore. We looked all over the car, and then high-tailed it back to the thrift store, but it was gone. No one turned it in there, or at the police station next door. So we had lunch, checked back again (still no one had turned it in), and headed home to call the banks.
On the way I was making a mental list of things lost: credit card, bank card, check book, other bank card, military ID, Texas drivers license, USAF drivers license, card to prove I can buy gas on base, grocery club card, English Heritage membership card...
We got home, I put the little ones straight to bed, and wasn't even back down the stairs yet when the phone rang. It was the thrift store, saying someone had brought in my wallet. Praise the Lord. So we headed back over there and it was waiting for me, all contents intact.
I am so grateful to the man who found it, the store workers, and my good God who kept everyone honest.

Know what you mean. I am blogging the same, just not commenting so much ~ & given the length of some of my comments that is a good thing.

Hey, I think I found someone you followed who shut down her blog. Seems she may still be blogging just under another name. Here's the link if you want to check it out:mersbeesbloggy.blogspot.com

PTL for your billfold! That is such a blessing. Any idea how you lost it out of your pocket? And, good for you about working to devote more time to the children.jc

Ganeida, It took me a minute to figure out who "Mrs Bee" was, but then I got it. Glad she is well.

JC, Not sure how it fell out; I did stoop over to pick up a tissue that had fallen out of the van when I got out, so it might have been then.
