“Climbing the family tree,”  building collages, and preparing the earlier blog message preceded a nap. Old lady Lorraine was enjoying her new “therapy pet” (Christmas “throw”) when she felt the mouse walk up her arm to her shoulder. ~~~ At this point, preparing this blog message, honestly, there was a knock on the door. The neighbor saw the car lights were on. OMG, twenty-four hours since arriving home from the expensive shopping trip at Walmart!! Lights were on but the battery is dead; the engine won’t start. ~~ Long story short, the neighbor has a remedy for the unwelcome guest (or guests). Two traps are situated in the kitchen. Thank you, Steve.
