The Squire and I left Greater Downtown Bradshaw a few days ago to go visit our eldest daughter in Charleston, SC. We stopped at a motel about 2/3 of the way down, and when I unpacked my suitcase, I discovered I had forgotten to pack several Very Important Personal items.
Although I had brought three bras, in addition to the one I was wearing, the only drawers I had were the one I had on. I’d brought my hot rollers, but not the clips to hold them in my hair. I was wearing a pair of ratty blue tennis shoes but didn’t pack any dress shoes. I’d also left the toothbrushes on the dining room table.
I HAD brought my coffee, and the motel had a microwave, but all they had was two thin plastic cups for brushing your teeth – with brushes I didn’t bring. A quick trip to Dollar General got us toothbrushes and a nice coffee mug. You do not want to deal with me when I don’t have my coffee.
Today, we went to Target, and I grabbed a package of undies and a pair of black flats. Still no clips for my rollers, but the Kid says she has a curling iron, and a couple of butterfly clips, so maybe I won’t look like a “straggle muffin”.
Let’s face it. I really need somebody to follow me around with a basket to collect all the things I lose.

Have fun in SC! I, too, had a mother who repeatedly
said that I would lose my head if it were not attached. Have a great turkey day…
