Lost: My two toasters from the kitchen
On Friday at 7:45 p.m., I was cleaning up in my apartment off 4th Street in downtown Grand Forks, not far from the UND campus. I turned back to the kitchen counter and found the space where my two toasters usually sit empty. I searched the kitchen, checked the living room, and even peeked through the hallway, but they were gone. This is a lost item that matters to our morning routine; these toasters have always helped us start the day, and cooking toast without them feels off near the Red River.
Lost holiday decorations in Grand Forks
I spent Sunday night getting the house ready for a little family gathering, but at 7:45 PM last Friday I realized a box of holiday decorations was missing. The box sat on the living room coffee table, just a few feet from the front window, near the Alerus Center on 42nd Street South in Grand Forks. Inside I kept a pine-cone wreath, a string of warm-white lights, a handful of glass ornaments, and a ceramic snowman with a chipped hat. I'm anxious about not having them for our small celebration tomorrow, and I miss the sparkle they bring to our tree. If you found a dusty red-and-green box near the entrance to my building, please keep it safe for me.
