Remember that poison I put out for the chipmunks to enjoy? Well now, the mice got it too, and no, they do NOT go outside to die. So that's the rest of the story. Now I get to hunt for carcasses in the hard to reach places where ever my nose leads me. Brad found the… Continue reading Cause and Effect

Bounce And Critters
The Bounce seems to be working. We've had three nights of a quiet ceiling now. The first two nights we heard the chipmunks come in and then quickly leave. Also stuffing tin foil as a temporary stop in the hole around the boiler lines coming in may have slowed them down. Now… Continue reading Bounce And Critters

The Cabin By The Lake
I have cleaned cabins this week. Tuesday's cabin was built over a hundred years ago. When you drive up through the tree lined lane you see a low lying log structure with four stone chimneys. There are two screened in porches and the front door is fronted by one of these. The door is solid… Continue reading The Cabin By The Lake

They moved last week from their tiny honey-moon apartment on the IGO side of Chiang Mai to the… Continue reading The Thailand Children

Tuesday it was just Mom and I. We took the road the other direction. Wednesday I was at Shilah's… Continue reading Visiting The Idaho Folks
More Summer of the Flowers
These pictures are of Jenny's wedding flower project. I'm longing for green grass and flowers! Can you tell?
Here, Have a Cookie
I said in my last post that life isn't all roses and pontificated accordingly. Most of the comments on that post were by phone from people sincerely worried about me. 🙂 One thing I learned was that I must be at least partially effective as a writer. We are doing well here and it truly… Continue reading Here, Have a Cookie
