to everything there is a season

...and I am ready for the winter season to be over! Friday we load up the rondezvous and strike out for Clearwater Beach Florida. YAHOO! Yesterday I called the agency that handles the condo we've rented. They want you to call before you come so they can give you the key code. The gal just gave me the code. Didn't ask for any kind of identifying verification or anything! Kinda creepy! The kids and I have been going to the tanning bed. They have been going off and on all winter, so they have tans. Not me, I was totally white and started to tan last week. I actually have gotten a lot of color, but NO ONE ELSE would know it!!Other people probably just think my health has improved..hahaha! Last night I went to Wal-Mart and bought a bunch of sunscreeens. Gosh, I wish sunbathing wasn't so damaging, cuz it just feels so wonderful to lay on the beach or on a raft in the pool! Of course, if I try to warn my daughters about how the effects of tanning age the skin and how I regret oversunning myself over the years, they just say, "what do you care? you're married and you're old"...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hmpf..........................................................................................
Love to all~~~~leave a comment so I will know you stopped by~~~~~~~~~~

I hates mieces to pieces!

I am mad at my cat. He goes outside and catches birds and digs up moles, but he has a "live and let live" attitude towards the mice that have taken up residence in this house. Maybe he assumes they are fellow pets in this household. GRRR!
So we have been trying to catch these little boogers. My extermination method of choice would be D-con,,,,but you then run the risk of the mouse dying in a wall or some other such place that you can't get to, hence then living with a foul oder for a couple weeks whilst it decomposes... :(
SO,,,we are using various traps. The old fashioned spring traps scare me. When Bobby is home I have him set them. When he is not home, I use the glue board trap.
The glue boards are extremely inhumane. See, they don't kill the mouse, they just stick to it. It is awful. Makes me feel like a monster.
Bobby reminds to think of all bread the mice have gotten into, and all the mouse turds I've had to clean up.....still, it's just awful.
For a couple years out here, I would hear an owl at night. We didn't have mice then. I haven't heard the owl this year, and the mice population is prolific.
We have trapped 4 mice. Hopefully that will be all.
I can't remember wich cartoon cat used to say "I hates mieces to pieces" If anybody else can,,tell me!
