Lost & Found is this week’s Mystery Question. But first I want to let you know I got my edits in at 1:17 Monday morning! Thank you all who prayed for me. It got me through!! Of course, later this week I’ll get the manuscript back with “suggestions” from my editor, but hopefully they won’t be extensive!
Now for this week’s photo and Scripture verse. I wish I could take credit for the photo, but it’s one from Unsplash. And I love that verse with it!
Now for this week’s Mystery Question. Below are four scenarios. Three are actually true. One is false. Which one did I make up?
- It was February, and a couple in the middle of a divorce were walking along the bank of a river, quarreling. Unable to win his point, the frustrated man suddenly shoved the woman into the icy river, jumping in to push her under again and again! The only problem? He couldn’t swim and his wife could. She swam to safety while he sank…he died on February 14.
-
Two men had spent the day on the river bank fishing and guzzling beer. As they trecked back to their truck with their meager catch, they had to cross a pasture with a long-horned bull in it. One man dared the other to slap the bull on his rump. When he refused, words ensued regarding his character and then a fight broke out, catching the attention of the bull. The men were so intent on their fight they failed to see the bull charging until he’d hooked one of them… on his rump.
- A young couple set out to prove that evil is a make-believe concept the human race invented. They set out on a bike ride to prove their new worldview. Sadly, after a year of biking, they were killed by ISIS militants.
- A helpful neighbor spent his last moments helping a friend weld an exhaust pipe He arrived at the garage shed with an experimental welding kit: an LPG bottle, similar to a propane tank, in which he had mixed both components that make up oxy-acetylene welding gas: acetylene and oxygen. When combined, these two components burn hot enough to cut metal. They are separated for a reason. When the neighbor attacked a torch head straight onto the bottle and lit the welding tip…the explosion shattered windows blocks away.
And the correct answer is the favorite #2! I should’ve changed it up a bit. lol Congrats on all who guessed correctly (which were many lol)

Congratulations on finishing edits. Hope you got some sleep. Now you can read this month’s book club book by Paula Peckham. It’s awesome. #2 warthog.
Author
I did get some sleep last night–8 hours. lol First time in a lonnnnng time. I had thought I’d start Paula’s book but that will be tonight. I’m really looking forward to reading it. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week!

Hi Mary! We’ll see…
This week’s puzzle is kinda funny. Warthogs, the poor things, are kinda goofy looking. I don’t know why anybody would want a stuffed one. I’m going with number 2!
Author
Me, either, Vera! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
Congrats on finishing your book! I think it’s number for this time.
Author
Thanks, Delores! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
That verse is a perfect match to the photo. It’s one of my favorite verses, too.
I’m glad your editing is done. Hopefully, your editor’s suggestions will be useful and easy for you to make.
Hmm. My spidey sense thinks I’ve seen these lost and found items before; maybe from a well known suspense author. 🙂
Author
Hey, Tim! Your spidey senses might be onto something! I do hope it’s the last week I have to dig into my old blogs! lol
Congratulations on finishing your edits! It was a huge relief, I’m sure!! #2
Author
It was Patricia! And an even bigger relief to get them back with a minimal amount of changes needed!! We’ll see next week if it’s #2
Love this scripture! I’ll go with 2.
Author
Thank you, Jackie! We’ll see next week.
So glad you got the edits turned in! I know that’s a relief.
Going with #3. Surely someone would have seen it by this time.
Author
Me, too, Barbara…you’d think re #3…but who knows? We’ll see next week.
Congrats on getting your edits in. I am going with #4.
Author
Thanks, Gloria! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
#3?
Author
We’ll see next week!
#3 Looking forward to a new book from you.
Author
Thank you, Judy! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week…
I’m going to guess #4 is made up.
Author
We’ll see, Megan!
That verse has been a favorite for years. Nothing but a picture of an eagle fits with it. Glad you got your edits done.
I agree with Tim that this one seems familiar, especially the spider man on the Metro. I’m choosing #3. Someone I know has lost two different diamond rings. One was out in her front yard. The other may have been in her yard or her home. No amount of searching was ever successful in finding either one. I can’t imagine someone spotting a diamond in the grass after two years.
Author
You and Tim have sharp memories, Edward. 🙂 We’ll see if it’s #3 next week. And I agree that nothing bu an eagle fits that verse.
Curiosity got the best of me. Found it. January 5, 2021.
Author
It doesn’t surprise me, Edward! LOL I do hope this is the last week I have to rerun posts!
#4 because the current would have caused it to drift from that spot over time
Author
Love your logic, Shelia…we’ll see next week!
#4…Beautiful photo and scripture. Blessings
Author
Thank you, Lucy! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
#3 seems impossible. A shining diamond no one spotted before? And what about summer when the grass gets cut?
Author
We’ll see, Gail, and I love the way your mind works…
I’m going with #3.
Author
Well see, Diana!

Hi Patricia! This is my first time to enter, so I’m new! I’m going with #4, that’s a long time to be at the same place under water. I actually did lose my wedding band in mom-in-law’s yard and she found it 7 yrs later! It was all shiny and good as new. I absolutely loved your Deception book, you out did yourself! My favorite so far.
Author
Thank you, Ms. Dottie! And welcome to my blog! So glad you enjoyed Deception! I love it that your mom-in-law found your wedding ring! That is amazing! We’ll see next week if it’s #4
Author
We’ll see, BN!
My vote is for #4
Author
We’ll see, Martha! I think #4 is very popular. 🙂
I’m going with #3 this week because I think the diamond would have been found long before two years went by. You never know though, right?
That’s one of my favorite verses, thanks for sharing it Patricia!
Author
I like your reasoning, Trixi! We’ll see next week. And it’s one of my favorite verses, too!

I am going to say#4 Love the Post! and Congratulations with getting your editing done!
Author
Thanks, Sarah! And I’ve already gotten more back from my editor that have to be in by noon tomorrow! But I’m almost done with them, too. 🙂
I’m going with #3, but it’s a wild guess.
Author
I like wild guesses, Lisa…we’ll see!
#4 is my guess
Author
We’ll see, Susan!
I’m going with #2
Author
We’ll see next week, Naomi. BTW, my dad had a cousin named Naomi and I always thought that was the prettiest name. 🙂

I’m going to guess #4
Author
Hi Rosalyn…we’ll see!
I’m getting pretty old and have seen/heard of so many crazy, unusual things happening, so I wouldn’t be too surprised at any of these, but I’m going with #3.
Author
I agree with your sentiments totally, Winnie! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week. So glad you stopped by!
Picking #1, just to be different. 🙂
Author
🙂 I like to be different, Judy!
I am going to say #2 is false.
Author
We’ll see next week, Karen!
I pick #3.
Author
We’ll see tomorrow, Amy!
