I couldn't find the remote for the outdoor Christmas lights. I never throw anything away, and rarely lose anything, but I just could not locate it this year. I looked in all the places I would logically have stored it away, but to no avail. Maybe with last year's Christmas lights, but it wasn't there, even though I looked through all the strings of lights which we hadn't used in the 4 years since we "downsized" Christmas. I looked in the cabinet which used to house the TV, since that seemed a likely place. Couldn't find it. I could see the remote in my mind's eye, white and slender.
J.T. replaced it with a new one, even smaller and black in color, but I couldn't stop thinking where I'd stashed the old one. So I thought where will I put this one after Christmas? I figured I would put it in the cabinet where the other remotes are, but I would make sure it would be easy to find, if next year warrants it. I was drawn to the cabinet, and where I would probably put it this year, I saw a small blue box. I hadn't been looking for a remote that was back in its box.
