Sunday we left Morro Bay for Avila to visit my favorite farmer’s market on the planet the Avila Valley Barn.

I picked out the produce and things that I wanted and went up to the register to buy them. I gave the girl my debit card and she asked for my ID.

Imagine my surprise when I opened up my wallet and there was no ID.

mg:

Checked the pockets… nope, no ID. Checked my purse… nope, no ID. Kate ran to find Mike to get some cash and that was when it hit me. The Thursday before we left Maggie had taken off with my wallet. We caught her moments later and I quickly checked to see if my credit cards, bank card, etc. were still in place (you know, the important stuff). It never occurred to me to check for my ID and I guess it should have.

And so, there I was… no ID.

Wednesday I drove Kate and I to have our hair done. Half way to the salon Kate asked if I had found my driver’s license. She was horrified to find that I was driving without a license. I had to explain that I wasn’t driving without a license, I was just driving without a license and that those were two very different things. :rolleyes:

When we came home she ransacked the house looking for my ID. Apparently, the thought of us getting pulled over without a license was just too much for her to handle. I wasn’t worried because I really don’t drive that much and figured it probably wouldn’t be that big of a deal to order another from the DMV.

I sat down to check my email and found Kate hovering near me with a “cat who killed the canary” grin on her face. There in her little hand was my ID. In her other hand was my wallet.

Maggie had transferred my ID from it’s lovely little pocket to the zippered coin pocket on the outside of my wallet.

Obviously, that was the one pocket I had never checked.
