The mouse business began last month when a bad aroma began to annoy me. I nervously checked the compost crock and the garbage can and even peeked in the oven to see if a piece of meat had been left to die there. My nose finally led me under the sink to a forgotten mouse trap. Sure enough, there was a little furry creature ripening under the hot water pipe. Gag me. The snare and its little feast of long dried up peanut butter had been prepared several month previous; set by WR in response to my reminders (nagging) that we needed to be prepared for the winter mouse invasion. I'd left the primed trap alone, acknowledging each time I noticed it with careful avoidance. After our catch, we were once again aware that the field mice had found shelter under the house. And, that at least one had squeezed through the small opening around the kitchen pipes into the warm cabinet under the sink. WR set another trap with fresh peanut butter. Now I am paranoid. I keep hearing things: Paper...

great meme answers and it why not set it up as a fun monday.
You know, one day when I have time, I'm going to have to go back and read your archives to get everything about your family straight. How many daughters? How many grandkids? How many husbands? (heh heh, just kidding you about the last one there..! *wink*)
I just read your reply to Pea...frozen tag! Ha!
But I loved reading your answers to the marriage meme just now!
I also take Blogfriends on a walk through London/Croydon. I was there in August.
Sorry we missed connections when you were so close. Hope you enjoyed the visit with your new grandson!!
