Still smiling

Worked all morning(well, it's more like play) I took Mrs C shopping. She can't get out of the car and walk but she can carry a book and read while I shop. I found her a bookcase she needed. I have got 4 quarts of beans in the canner right now that I picked. I got home from work at 1:45 and I leave for my other job(driving the bus) at 2. I was needing a hammer and couldn't find the in house hammer. I went to open my toolbox and the whole box is gone and all my tools with it. I was robbed last month and they must have liked what they got because they came back and took a second helping. I just pray I catch them sometime one of use won't make it out alive. But I'm still smiling. I may go to hell someday but it won't be because I stole a couple hundred dollars worth of tools. I'm starting to install my laminated flooring Saturday so I will have to go down to WallyWorld and get me a new jig saw to use. And a new hammer. See I'm still smiling. I might lose a little of my smile when I swipe my debit card to replace the tools but today I'm still smiling.
I can't stop somebody from stealing my property but I refuse to let anybody steal my happiness. Now I'm going to close and get busy. My house is a disaster area. And I need to rake the living room and plant corn. Well, it is almost that bad. Love, Miss Mary

Miss Mary...you are precious!!!!  I just love you and your attitude.

Good for you Miss Mary!  I love your perspective.  But I'd like to personally kick some tail for you!  Now, that would make ME smile! LOL!

You a such a good woman.  I don't think I'd be smiling at all.  I hate it when people take advantage of someone and take what DOES NOT belong to them.  That 's just plain SAD.  I hope you find out who it is and we'll all gang up with you and kick some tail as Kay put it.  That just ain't right for people to do that to you, such a precious woman, much less ANY ONE!!!

Oh Elle and Kay, thank you for the offer of kicking butt. And I do know who is doing it. Now knowing and proving are two different things. I hope to have time tomorrow and go to the police department and file a report. They also think it's the same ones I do and are trying to get proof , if not of my robberies then of something else. I know he will get caught eventually. Even Barney Fife could figure this one out. Thanks to you all for all  the kind words. Love, Miss Mary
