I loved the story Jo!!!!!!!!
Marly
"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." Elisabeth Kurler-Ross |

One of the worst and (in an awful way, funniest) mouse stories I have ever heard was told by my brother-in-law. He worked for a funeral home, and his company just bought an older funeral home. In the process of remodeling and cleaning up, they found a large mouse problem, so they set traps out everywhere. One afternoon, while my BIL and his partner were counseling a grieving family, a trap that was in the ceiling went off. But the mouse didn't die right away, it sort of flopped around in the ceiling, above their heads for a few minutes. My BIL and his partner had the hardest time controlling their laughter while sitting with their grief-stricken guest. Of course they felt awful for the family, and they couldn't make eye contact for the rest of the visit. Poor guys.

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

Since you girls are telling ucky stories, I'll tell mine.
had a shop vac in the garage for quick cleanups. Evidently the mice thought it looked just like one of those hamster trail things. Unaware, I turned it on to do some cleaning, it made strange noises and fur came out of the motor. Let me tell you, that whole shop vac went in the garbage and I was at Home Depot the next day for a new one.
That was one mess I was not going to clean up, even with an apron, boots, and rubber gloves!
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2

Oh my word Deborah! I know that a snake can come in through the walls and under any spaces like between the mop boards (that's what we call them, I can't think of the other word) and floor. That how they got in here before we had the carpeting put down. I told dh if we ever take up the carpet we are making sure there are absolutely no spaces for mice nor snakes that way.

All I've got to say is..... "THANK YOU LORD FOR 14 YEAR OLD BOYS!!!!"
My son will happily empty the trap for me.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 |
