Keys Lost, Keys Found

I have two padlocks that I use on the outside gates.  They are keyed alike.  I have a particular storage spot for the keys.  I have two keys, too.  Every time I get the keys out, I tell myself that I should separate them, in case I cannot find one.

Well, I used the keys this weekend, and was pretty sure, but not a hundred per cent sure, that I returned the keys to the house.  Well, when I tried to find them today, I could not.  I spent about 30 minutes looking, but then had to go out, to do some errands before places closed.

Himmm.   I was  a little unsettled.  I have a bolt cutter.  So, I could cut the padlocks off the gates and start over if I needed to.

I decided that I would spend the week looking for the keys, and haul my trash to the dumpster the long way.  Because that is the biggest reason I go out the back gate.

Then, as I was doing chores around the house, I remembered additional places to look for keys. And, guess what.  They were right where I left them.

Guess what, after all this time, I finally separated the keys, so if I lose one, I will have a back up!
