Forgive And Forget

Old Man Wrigley…

Did a disappearing act…for 24 hours…

Was headed out of town…for a day of appointments…a Hobby Lobby fix…and a meet up with a dear friend…stepped out back for a brief chat with my furry feline…but he was nowhere to be found…must be too cold…was the thought…before driving off for the day…

Hours later…a text comes from that husband of mine…it says…Wrigley was locked in the garage…

Not our garage…surely…couldn’t figure out how that could have happened…thought back to the day before…

Woke to rain…assumed it was too cold for outside coffee…but no…there was OM Wrigley…curled up waiting…set up the lawn chair in the garage…to keep warm…ended our chat with a good-bye pat…went outside a few hours later…walked through the garage…checked corners…called his name…was certain…the coast was clear…pushed that close button…

Not sure how it happened…was OM in a deep sleep…being sneaky…hiding in there hoping for round two…darted in when my back was turned…no way he darted…he’s Old Man Wrigley…his darting days…are behind him…

Fortunately for this old gal…that furry friend…doesn’t hold a grudge…found him early next morning…ready to let bygones be bygones…

Silly Old Cat…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
