Carol Perkins: I took my phone for a ride Previous Column: The Pursuit of Happiness By Carol Perkins I took my phone for a ride. It landed a half mile from town with the cards I keep in the phone holder scattered. A familiar face knocked on my door three days later, holding my phone. I was so glad. I had no idea where I had lost it. "What kind of cake do you like?" I asked, filled with gratitude. By the next day, I had baked him a German Chocolate cake. The problem started Monday when I attempted to do three things at once. I had three library books to return, a strawberry cobbler, and a small box to mail in one hand and my phone in the other. I returned the books and went to the drugstore to UPS the box. Cleverly, I thought, I snapped a picture of the address on my phone before leaving rather than take the time to write on a post-it. Going out the door and down the steps with my hands full is never a good idea because of my bum knee, but I hate making two trips. I return the books and go to the drugstore. When asked for the address, I realized I had left my phone in the car (I thought), so back to the car I went. No phone. "I must have left it at home," I tell Martha. I take my box back to the car and go to my mother's to deliver the cobbler. When I returned home and looked for my phone, I couldn't find it anywhere. Not in the garbage, the basement, under chairs...nowhere. After a day of despair and not knowing my Apple ID to get help finding it, I canceled the cards. In the wee hours of the night, I recalled that I MIGHT have put the phone on the car's hood while loading the front seat. I eased down the driveway, up the street, back to town, and looked up and down the highway but saw nothing. "It would have fallen off when you went down the drive," Guy said. But I wasn't ready to give up, and I'm glad I didn't. My determination to find my phone was unwavering. My "steady" driving enabled my phone to ride along on my hood to Barbara Branstetter's lower yard, where David Acree (my third cousin) might have been mowing, found it. I hope the cake made him as happy as his finding my phone made me. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com. This story was posted on 2024-07-05 09:05:45
