Whenever I lose an earring, it's always one of my favorites.

(Of course that could because I wear my favorites more often, 

and thus have more chances to lose them....)

Anyway... the other day I lost an earring, and it'd been such a busy day of running errands that I doubted it would turn up here at the house.  However, I mentioned it to Tom just so he'd be on the lookout, and he was bummed because it was one of his favorite pairs also.

The trash truck just now picked up, so before my shower I went to bring both cans back from the curb.  And guess what I just happened to see in the driveway?  (Take 3 guesses IF you need them.)  

And no, I hadn't noticed it when I swept the driveway a little earlier....
