Don't Worry, I Found Them

I distinctly remembered giving Bob the check books for both of our accounts. I was absolutely certain I did not take them back. He was certain he did not use either of them, he used a debit card for his purchases. He did not recall having them at all. I began going through everything around his chair. Bob reads lots of books. He also writes stories. Often he gets tools out and leaves them around, and how to books about car repairs. I looked at his writing notebook from an end position. Guess what he had folded into the pages as a sort of book mark. Yup, that is right. The checkbooks. They are now back in my purse.

I am glad you found them, and that they are now in your purse. It's always worrying to not be able to find something like that.

We only have one bill that ONLY takes check or cash and then I do church donations with a check. He wanted to close the accounts.

@GardenGerty I think checks will some day be nearly a thing of the past.

I am so glad you found the checkbooks, I can see that happening and since they are between pages you would never know it,

He would have found them when he decided to write something again, but in the meantime he was saying he was going to cancel the accounts. Not a good thing as it would mess up a lot of accounts.

Glad they are safe! He probably didn't remember because he wasn't really thinking of them as check books at all!

Turns out he had not been planning to use them, but rather a debit card. I had hoped he would balance them, because he usually does.

Vince makes a bit of a mess if I don't keep an eye on him. His desk always seems to be covered in papers.

I have to confess I am quite messy as well, but I do get some motivation at times.

Yes, and when he did use them he put them right back.
