Weird.....

I'm not shy about telling you about the weird things I cannot explain that happen in my life.  I'm sure a lot of you thought I'd lost my mind when I told you last year about the baby sock I found in the wife's side of the closet.  That was probably one of the most freaky things that has happened to me until yesterday.

Here's my story for today:

Last week, when I was at Lowe's for the second time that day, I thought to myself, I ought to have a spare key made for the house.  I don't know why I thought this.  I didn't do it.  The only key I ever had made after I changed the locks was almost two years ago.  When I bought the new locks for the house (had to change them because the front door lock broke about the same time the wife moved out), I bought the kind you can just re-key without changing.  This is going to be important in a minute.  Anyway, I made a key, gave it to her dad to give to her.  She sent it back.

On Saturday, I found some spare keys in a drawer.  I knew I had some laying around someplace so I took the keys I found and tried them in the locks for the front door and garage door.  The garage door has a different lock I haven't replaced yet.  One of the spare keys fit that door.  The rest of the keys didn't fit so I tossed them in a drawer.  Like I said, I can re-key the locks, so I decided to keep the keys.  I put ALL of them back in the drawer except the key to the garage door.  There were only about four or five of them, so it's not like I lost track or anything.  I gave the garage door key to Miss June.

On Sunday, I made some rolls.  The cookbook I used, I set on the small counter in the kitchen.  It's about chair height and it becomes a collection point for things sometimes.  Yesterday, I ran some errands.  When I came home, I didn't see what I'm about to tell you about.  When June came home, she asked me about this key sitting on top of the cookbook.

I thought at first it was her key.  She doesn't keep it on a ring.  Hers, though, was in her coat pocket.  She told me she tried the key and it opened the front door.  None of the keys I tried on Saturday did.  They're all still in the drawer.  The key says "Lowe's" on the back of it.  It's on my key ring.

The really weird thing is that I seem to remember re-keying the locks on this house sometime after March of last year when I was angry about some things so the key I had made wouldn't work.  I may have changed them back, but I don't seem to recall doing that.  June swears she had nothing to do with the key and she didn't know I was thinking of having one made.

I have no idea where it came from, how it got here, or why it got here.  I just know it's on my key ring and I'm just chalking it up to the same thing about the baby sock.

I just don't know.
