Has anyone seen the jello mold?

From prayer to peace to spiritual intuition

By Candace Lynch

When the most recent Star Wars movie came out on video, my son called to say he had picked it up and was inviting the whole family to his house to watch it that evening. My husband and I gladly accepted the invitation. I offered to bring over a casserole for dinner. And thinking about the grandkids, I decided to fix one of their favorite treats, jello molded into egg shapes. We enjoyed both the dinner and the movie. Heading home afterward, we put the casserole dish and the jello mold in the trunk of the car.

The following afternoon, I decided to fix more jello eggs for the weekend, but I couldn't find the mold. Not only had it disappeared, but I had no recollection of where it had been that morning. I looked everywhere it should have been and several places where it shouldn't have been, but couldn't find it anywhere in the house. I decided that it must still be in the trunk of the car.

When my husband got home, I insisted that he check the trunk. No mold. I was more puzzled than ever, since I was so sure he would find it there.
