Why not just keep a set or two of spare keys at home!

While house keys are easily duplicated, car keys are not. And they are
mighty expensive to have a spare ( up to $80 U.S.) That's enough to
make you very aware and not lose your keys!! :-)

And that is not the worst one! Volvo keys are over $120 for an "extra key".

What are some of your other hobbies - other crafts, collections, manias etc?
Neat thread!!

I sing and am treasurer of my choral group. Also play keyboard and
piano for local theater productions -
Collect carved birds butr hate a lot of clutter and knick knacks
around.

Ran a feline spay/neuter clinic - fixed over six thousand cats before
we closed out doors.
Dh and I sailed and cruised for many years, but we're down now to a
simple power boat.

LIke to cook on occasion, read, volunteer my time if someone needs to
organize stuff - indexed and filed about 800 pieces of sheet music
recently for fellow musician.

LIke to workout at the gym, have practiced yoga for years.

I worked full time for over 30 years and am blissfully retired - yay.

But it's a 'nice' kinda 'busy'. All my retired cronies agree with
me.... "How did I ever WORK!!". But, as we all know, work tends to
exapnd to fit the alloted time....sheesh, I musta been a whirlwind then
at housework, etc.

Starting a new ndlpt projecr today - there goes the ironing!

That's what my mom says. She's as busy now as she ever was when she
worked -- maybe even busier! Every day there's something!
