I was thinking of that today as I was running around trying to find something I had misplaced. She was right. Studies of memory show that if you are aware when you put something down, then repeat to yourself, "I put the (whatever) in (place)," you will remember where it is. It is that mindless searching that gets to all of us. Better yet, every used item should have a home and, no matter how inconvenient it seems at the time, it needs to go to its home the minute you are done with it. So, Grandma, kudos for the quote. I'll try to remember it in the future.
