About a month ago, I went to an event a couple of hours away in a cute little town called Victoria, VA. They have a great Rails to Trails trail, and we spent the better part of the day on this trail geocaching. Sometime during that day, I lost half of my pen. Big deal, right? But it was!
In 2004 my "dog" gave me a Space Pen for Christmas. This pen writes on any surface, at any angle, in any temperature, every time. The cap has a carabiner attached to it, and I've used it for years without losing it. Until that fateful day in April when the pen part went missing. I was so sad!
Last weekend, I went to an event at Twin Lakes State Park about 20 miles from Victoria, VA. Sometime during the day on Saturday, I lost my glasses. My regular glasses. I have prescription sunglasses, which I wore most of the day, but somehow, someway, somewhere, my regular glasses made a break for it! And I didn't realize it until Sunday, so there really was no "retracing my steps" except those that were close to home.
But here's where it gets strange........
As I was getting in the car at Twin Lakes State Park to head back home on Saturday, a man I had met at the first event in April came up to me, and HANDED ME THE PEN PART OF MY SPACE PEN!
Yes, he did!
Now, I know this will be hard to believe, but I was speechless. I didn't know what to say.
I can't hold out much hope that my glasses will appear so easily, nor could I possibly go over a month without them, so I started wearing an old pair. And placed an order online tonight for a couple of new pairs.
It's hell getting old! LOL! I wonder what I'll lose next? I'll have to start putting tracking devices on anything important.

Now that's a cool story about the pen!
Wow! That is quite an amazing story! (I wish my black jacket would turn up - I can live without the jacket but the brooch that was on it was very special to me)
