In our family room we have a beautiful round glass sculpture.

A few weeks ago we were moving the furniture around and when I went to pick up the sculpture it started to fall apart.  My first thought was that I had broken it.  But then I noticed that it was taped together on the back.

The break was clean and I was able to repair it with clear epoxy.

And now it is a good as new.  The mystery is: Who broke it and then attempted to cover (tape) it up.

The people who had access are: Nurit and I, Rebecca and Lillian, Sonia and Jenny the old and new cleaning ladies and Jason who house sits when we are away.

The suspect would be someone who feared that we would yell at them for an accident so attempted to cover it up.  A few months ago Sonia quit suddenly claiming that I was yelling at her about the cat litter.  So she is the prime suspect but there is no evidence.  The sad thing is that when we discovered the break we laughed and then fixed it.  It is, after all, only stuff.

I apologize for creating the illusion that I am a person who would yell about something breaking and I’ll attempt to be more mellow in the future.
