This just in from Liz in Baltimore who found this in the bottom of her grocery bag. What do you make of this?!
Lost valentines found this week in March.
There's nothing to add here.
I live on a busy street, one a lot of people walk down every day. So there's lots of trash that shows up outside our house--usually flattened cigarette packs, empty cheetos bags, those little plastic grenade shaped juices. Today I found this. An answer to a question we don't have...
Found on campus today. Slide 8 shows how impressive his accomplishments really are and slide 9 is a funny quote. I'm on the lookout for 1-7.
Peanuts for the squirrels. Squirrel food?! I guess squirrels eating peanuts out of the shells would be cute?
What does a 400 year old grocery list look like? http://fox17online.com/2017/02/03/400-year-old-shopping-list-found-under-floorboards-of-uk-home/
From tonight's trip to the grocery store. Two kinds of sausage, blueberry flip, and biscuits for Pookey.
I quite like @youdroppedyourgrocerylist’s posts. Since seeing their account I have found several lists - usually left in the bottom of plastic shopping baskets. “Things I Moose Do” struck me as rather Canadian in its theme. One item “Riesling” seemed odd because it isn’t sold in the chain of grocery stores this was in. I usually like to leave space between grocery store items and things that require a separate stop. Also the (make corn) in parentheses is curious. Does the shopper need to buy it or is this a menu reminder?
Submission from Linda!
Uh oh! We hope Mary likes her bracelet from Santa!

Found on the sidewalk downtown in Philadelphia today.
It's been nothing but lined paper the last couple days. Folded, torn, stepped on, pressed into the pavement.
This is the grocery list I'm always looking for. I didn't find it in the store, but in a text message from my dear friend Angela. This is her honey Paul's list for the week ❤️
I found this list at the grocery store across the street from campus. It was right under the little platform where you’d sign your check.
Most people cross items off their lists. It’s useful—you can actually see what’s left to get. Some people use this paper-ripping technique. That’s when you don’t have a pen with you.
But to actually erase as you go, that’s a lot of work! Is it to leave no trace? Is it to keep this list and fill in next week’s list in the blanks? We erase when we think we’ve made a mistake or don’t want to see the marks we’ve made on a piece of paper anymore. We erase things we intend to keep or at least anticipate seeing again. We erase things we don’t want anyone to read. I don’t think this list was discarded on purpose—I think this was a keeper, just lost.
"Puzzles and puppets w/ a couple pals. Pretty talkative w/ those pals too :)" Last night I found this and a dollar bill in the grocery store parking lot and I thought, "well, man, that's a good omen." This morning, I find an overdraft notice in my email because someone cashed a check early and I went to the grocery store the night before payday.
It's safe to say I've never found tango shoes on a list before... Packing list? Shopping list? What is this person up to??
Of the thousands of grocery lists and random scraps of paper I've found, just a handful of them have been mean-spirited or angry. Found this today by a bike rack. This message comes from one story in space and time, but it takes me right to a few moments in my life--like a freight train. We could imagine a million stories this comes from, all probably connected to our own. The things we say are always bigger and ripple wider than we imagine.
Found on the campus of a large Midwestern university this week. The note reads, "At 1:10am I saw a student kicking this bike Wednesday 31st. He wore a light grey shirt & blue jeans he was tall, slim and brown hair. The surveillance camera on concourse mall photographed him. Library mall." Someone's ready to make a citizen's arrest!
HUGE shout out to my dear friend Crystal in San Diego who found her very first grocery list today... On my birthday! What a gift. And it's a good one!
Found this afternoon on the sidewalk in Chicago. I hope it worked!
