lol We have a small town story about our house. The house was built in the 19th century and in addition to newer deadbolt locks retains the old locks with skeleton keys. The skeleton key holds a fascination for me going back to my childhood, having to do with an elderly auntie who lived in the old family place and still used the original locks. Anyway not long after we moved in I lost the skeleton key to our front door. One evening when coming home from a party, my husband said Mrs.N gave me a key to our front door. I thought he gave him one she thought might fit, but he said no it is to our front door. How did she find the key I lost??? No her aunt was the second owner of our house and Mrs.N had a key so she could come and go as needed. She heard we would be at that party and remembered the she had the key so brought it for us. Her aunt had been dead for many years and the house had been empty for a long time, Mrs.N just happened to find the key in a drawer and thought to bring it for us that night. LOL I have occasionally wondered if other people have keys. It is a small town and everyone seems to be related in some manner.
