Where is it?

I've emptied the suitcases and done all the laundry. I can't find it. It's fairly distinctive. I have mostly white and beige, a couple of black. It is my only colorful one. It's turquoise. I know it isn't in the drawer. I would see it if it were.

Think back, when did I wear it last? Slowly I retrace. I wore it the day before our trip to Chicago. We stayed close to the airport because of the forecast of overnight snow. I put my dirty clothes into a bag in the trunk. There is no need to take dirty laundry on a trip.

When we returned from the trip, we drove through the snow and got back late. My husband brought in the suitcases, he didn't see the bag in the dark.

It's been several days of snow on the car. I finally am able to open the trunk and there is the bag. Inside with the turquoise garment are a few other things that I would have missed eventually.

I'm so glad to have found it. My mind doesn't have to worry over it any longer.
