In the past few days, I've found some unexpected things around the Common Household.
I found
the missing textbook, under a pile of my son's school papers. I suspect this book had not been used all year. Youngest Daughter is grateful to get her $100 back. I am grateful too, but can't help but think that I should have charged her a finder's fee.

| $100 worth of text. |
Later that afternoon, I found the lucky girl asleep on the sofa. Oy, it's so exhausting getting up at 9 a.m. during summer vacation!

| Exhausted teen. |
Here is evidence that a great and wonderful thing is occurring: repair of our leaky ceiling. When you are fixing the bathroom floor, where else are you going to put the toilet?
 |
| Bathtub: an excellent storage place for large items. |
We spotted this loose dead branch in our big oak tree some time ago. It came down early Thursday morning during the thunderstorm which did not, thankfully, turn into a derecho. I'm just grateful the branch didn't hit anybody.
 |
| Whew. Nobody hurt. |
Today, while
weed-whacking, I glanced into our abandoned strawberry patch /
chipmunk gated retirement community. I saw these delights. They are small and seedy, but quite sweet and tasty. A great find!

| More dessert for attack rabbits and vicious chipmunks. |
 |
| Some of the strawberry harvest. |

Nothing better than finding wild strawberries! That can make your day!
Toilet in a tub wonder if thats how they came up with a bidet.
Fresh strawberries are the best! And, um... what's a "derecho"?
We, too, were glad we did not have a derecho replay. Last year, things got sort of ugly around here.
A strawberry surprise!
And are you as unbelievably proud as I am when you find something that's been missing for a long time? It's one of the best moments, I tell ya.
Fresh warm strawberries from the garden! Yum.
When touring a ship in the Baltimore harbor, we noticed that the captain's quarters included a combination tub and toilet. Perhaps you want to decorate in a nautical theme?
My teen couldn't find a book in plain sight on his shelf. You definitely deserve a finder's fee!
