St Anthony hits one out of the park

Peony: Well, I unpacked all the bags but I couldn’t find those stamps that got lost.
Posco (Peony’s husband): Well, that’s the way it goes, I guess. Are you sure you don’t want to go out with me this afternoon?
Peony: Honey, I really want to finish the laundry. You’re going to the stamp store, aren’t you?
Posco: ….maybe.
Peony: Hmmm. Did I stick them in your book? Think maybe they fell out of your book when we went to the beach?
Posco: Oh, give it up, they’re lost. (starts backing car out)
Peony thinks, signals to Posco to stop, runs up and taps on window
Posco rolls down the window.
Peony: Sweetheart! I know you just told me, but what was the name of the beach?!
Posco: Rocky Neck. (sighs)You’re going to call them, aren’t you? Ok, See you later.
***
Park ranger: Rocky Neck State Beach.
Peony: Hi, we visited the beach on Wednesday, and I know this is a long shot, but did anyone turn in a paper bag with stamps in it?
Park ranger: Sure, let me go check…. let’s see here… Purchased at Cutesy-Poo Stamp Shoppe, Massachussetts?
Peony: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see the look on hubby’s face when I give him this news!

  2. I am. Of course, since I posted that I’ve discovered that the black hole in my house has consumed my travel mug and a pair of earrings, but I also discovered that my camera is working again. So I’m still in the black.

  3. Hey, there’s no such thing as luck. But I’m glad you found the stamps.
    You know what I lost a long time ago and you’d think was a good thing to pray to get back (and perhaps I have?) An old prayer book that I used to look at when I was a kid, published in 1954 or something. I must have been around 13 when I last saw it, and my mother doesn’t throw that kind of thing away. I remember lots of details about it and I’ve searched eBay for another copy, but can’t find one that is definitely the same. One reason I would like to find this book is that I feel like my mental images of some mysteries of the Rosary come from looking at the color illustrations when I was a young child. I still like to meditate on such images when praying the Rosary, but I kind of miss those particular ones. Maybe this is just an attachment I should let go of.

  4. I love that St. Anthony!!! He’s done some great things in this household as well–although I think we make him work overtime all too often. Too bad he couldn’t play for the Red Sox when he “hits ’em out of the park”….maybe they could finally go all the way!
