Nice one - that sounds almost like it's based on real events. :)

Yeah, I lost my car keys once while joking around. Ultimately cost me some big bucks to have new ones made.
In his dreams!
Wonder if he ever found them...lol.
Nice - different take on the photo. I hope he doesn't have to wait until the spring thaw! :)
Could I please have Tom's address so I could GPS myself to his neck of the woods? We basically haven't had any snow yet this year and, quite frankly, I might have to go into rehab for Fluffy White Stuff Withdrawal. (I LOVE SNOW! If I had some right now, I'd eat it for breakfast. LOL!)
Fun take!
Really AJ? I made it up I promise. :)
Ah yes, or that even Cloudia LOL
One of my grandson's lost his Daddy's car keys once Beach, it was very costly!
LOL Cheshire Wife
Doubt it Valerie ;)
Thanks Lisa :)
If we get any snow here I'll send it to you SparkleFarkle, I hate it! LOL
Was the car attached? Nice one.
I don't know HOW you come up with these, but they're ALWAYS brilliant!
Great ending!
And it's funny you used the name Tom because my brother's name is Tom and he manages a restaurant!!!
Have a wonderful Monday, m'dear!

Probably Anthony LOL
Aw thanks Ron. Synchronicity or just coincidence?
I hate losing keys. Thank fully we have more than one set.
I have lost my house key to the CA house, so Iam waiting for Paul, Mr BC to send another to me. I lost it on the way to Santa Barbara.

At least that is what he would have them believe!
Poor Tom--maybe he could have used some of that leg power to kick the snow away. You have a creative & clever use of "drift" in your story!
brrrrrr ... you are so clever
When I saw just the word 'drift' and then the pic I was curious as to what you had written. I would have been stumped. But you pulled it off nicely ! Clever Writer Lady !
Goose Stepping?
That was some drift, hope he found them again!
my offer ...
it was in a kitchen break that David realised he had allowed his career to drift far from football while Victoria hated the laundry duties.
Good one!
how do you think all this stuff up? you're really clever. i bet you're great at crosswords too :-)
Good one! I never would have thought of that!
very clever
as always :)
thanks for the reikki for the kitties
Ron is sending some as well
it is appreciated and felt
I lost a huge key ring one winter and searched for days without success to find it. When spring arrived, I easily discovered it next to my front steps, where it had been buried under snow. I can really relate to this one.
Always a good idea to have a spare set of keys Lady's Life!
Oh no BankerChick, hope the key gets there safely. x
You could be right Melanie
Thanks Pat :)
Aw cheers Daryl x
Those were my first thoughts too Deb ;)
Possibly G-man LOL
I think he had to wait until the snow melted Deb
Oh that's a good one rosneath!
Thanks Dumdad :)
I'm useless at crosswords Gleds but I do have an overactive imagination! LOL
Maybe not but I bet you could have come up with something Mama Zen!
Cheers Dianne and you're welcome. x
Glad to hear you eventually found your keys Grandma :)
Poor ol' Tom...what a cold handed day he must have had!
:)
He did Pooch :(
