Not significant, but for the sake of chatting

Last Saturday we had a get-together at home (large group). They were mostly families with kids. After getting back with the pizzas I parked behind some other cars in the driveway and placed the key fob on the kitchen counter top. People were everywhere. Four hours later the pastor decided to leave but we couldn't find the key. I get the second key fob and move the car away. Meanwhile we still are looking for my key which until today still has not been found. I thought the keys may have been misplaced, push around, taken by a kid around the house or toss in the garbage by mistake but we have looked everywhere, even in the garbage, and the key has not been found. So now I'm thinking the key may have been taken, deliberately or not.

Anyways, seems that I will be getting a new key fob from the dealer soon.
Anyone remember how much our key fobs are? (programmed)

Sometimes things do work out for the best! Now you don't have to buy a replacement key ot a cell phone ... Now what are you going to do with the money you would have otherwise spent?!?

I have 2 or 3 extra keys for some reason if you get that key maker and need fobs.
