True Confessions:: A Mouse in The Sink

Yes. I know. I have a 4″ thick python in my house. That eats rats. That I have to buy. And there’s a funny looking little gecko that lives here, too. And he has sticky pads on his paws. And eats crickets. Live. But this baby? When I saw him scamper around the corner and...

OMG, we had a rodent problem this week too…yours looks slightly cuter but still. YUCK! thank you for showing off your shot!

Jeanie - January 27, 2012 - 12:11 pm

HAHAHA that was so totally funny!!! I could just picture all of this happening! Like Ron said, you do hav a way with words and pictures too! But sadly, Mr.Mouse has an entire family out there. He was sent by the family to “scout” out the new digs! lol

Becky - January 27, 2012 - 12:58 pm

Not a mouse lover, but that one is pretty darn cute. How often do you get a chance to take a close up pic like that?

SarahinSC - January 27, 2012 - 1:30 pm

Great story and such a happy ending…until his brothers and sisters come in!

Sandra - January 27, 2012 - 2:26 pm

That is so funny! My girls would have wanted to keep it also. Cutest mouse I have ever seen.

emily - January 27, 2012 - 4:43 pm

ISH! Let’s hope there are no brothers or sisters!!

Leovi - January 27, 2012 - 6:54 pm

Beautiful photos, delicious and tender mouse. Greetings.

What a lovely story and what a really cute little chap…. I wonder if he will find his way back or if he has got the message about the need to relocate.

He’s so cute!!! Glad he was relocated to “greener pastures”, hope he likes his new home.

Gretchen - January 28, 2012 - 2:04 pm

She’s right though. He is really cute;)

Cate - January 29, 2012 - 3:11 am

We have two cats, and we still get mice – well, we get the half eaten remains of mice left as gifts for us!

Your blog is beautiful! Love the design and your photography is enviable! I am learning!

Kelly Sauer - January 30, 2012 - 3:22 pm

DYING. I absolutely love this whole post, and I’m totally with Lexi. Just so you know. But I hope he’s happy anyway. ;-)

out of the ordinary

Ever notice how when you step out of the ordinary, every thing becomes extraordinary? And stepping out of the ordinary doesn’t have to mean going on vacation…. It could mean changing your diet or exercise program or wearing clothes you wouldn’t normally. It could mean visiting parts of your hometown you don’t visit often, or...

Great shots! I’m still trying to find something extra-ordinary to do with my time off. So far, it involves a lot of blog reading :)

Southern Gal - January 14, 2012 - 4:07 pm

I’m itching to get out there and do something different. Now I’m going to have to get my husband on board! (Although wearing something different would rank right up there with going somewhere.)

Marty - January 14, 2012 - 6:24 pm

Ohhhh – such beautiful pictures. Glad you are experiencing the extra-ordinary especially on your b-day. Happy Birthday (again!) xoxo

A New Year

And with a sweet breath of fresh air, winter breeze blows night into a new year full of hope and promise. Behold the small, tiny moments. Remember to love {and forgive}. Seek Grace. Embrace truth. Offer a hand. Work hard {play hard}. Be bold. Live a good life. *Happy New Year* * What are your...

{1} The Gift of Love

I imagined that on this, the last day in my twelve days before Christmas and on Christmas Eve, I would be wishing for you the gift of love. Then it occurred to me. You are loved. You have family or friends or neighbors or church… But if you are not feeling love from the people...

My dear friend – I had every intention of getting a card into the mail for you this year, but unfortunately none were written at all!

I’m sure that you and your family have had a wonderful Christmas celebration, and wishing you all a blessed, happy New Year.
