Lost & Found

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to move the refrigerator to see if there was a reason that Midnight kept looking intently under it.  I rolled it out and behind and underneath I found these:

The ping pong balls were behind the refrigerator.  Underneath there was: Mr Mousie (He with the pouch for holding yummy catnip), a blue glitter ball that came from the end of a chase toy, the roller from a defunct cheese slicer and his favorite red glitter ball (a gift from a very special friend).

Midnight was very happy to get his toys back.  It was fun watching him play with Mr Mousie and his favorite red glitter ball.

And as I watched and thought about this I began to question if I had knocked parts of my life “under the refrigerator.”  Friends, with whom I no longer maintain contact.  Yes, there are some.

What about simple pleasures like a walk beside the river?  Before we moved here, Sylvia and I used to do that a few times each week.  It was a great way to relieve stress.  I’d love to sit on the deck again on a summer afternoon and watch the world go by.

What’s under your refrigerator?

  1. Cat toys and dust. It's a given around this place. And no matter how much I vacuum each day, that darn cat litter ends up everywhere!

    I'm glad he got his red sparkle back again. 🙂

  2. Most of my life right now. I need somebody with a big muscle to move the thing.

  3. Things often "disappear" in our realm, the which we have long blamed on a "poltergeist." We know it's not the pet, for he doesn't play. Maybe we should look under the reefer anyway, if only we were there to do it.

    On your philosophical note, I shudder to think–

  4. Here they send everything under the dishwasher because the male person has not put the kickplate up yet.

    Happy New Year.
    The new layout looks great!

  5. Lots of dust! 😀 Our dog collects socks from around the house and stores them under the couch. When we move the couch, we usually have about half a dozen toys just like that! Funny!
