I've even watch a few of your You tube videos of you playing the piano, very nice. But your dead mouse story made me chuckle and go eeww at the same time. I think one of your kittehs was trying to tell they like you. If I had that problem, I'm currently catless. I'd buy a small shop vac to suck up the rodent carcasses. Hope you don't find any more.

Smell comes up around the bathroom pipes no matter how much we collar and caulk, but fortunately only lasts about 3 or 4 days. We keep the door shut, window open and, understandably, no one monopolizes the bathroom.

Those are just two words, that take so little effort to say but I am always surprised at how rare it is to hear those words. I would like to think those people I am generous to appreciate my generosity but, except for Pat, I can't remember the last time I heard those words "Thank you." Thank you Jon for acknowledging me. I'm sure you understand, it means a lot not to be taken for granted. And I am so glad you're enjoying those books. There are more to come! <br />Now about the dead mouse. I had a similar situation happen back at our old house in Pennsylvania. We had four bedrooms. We only used two. One for Bill at the one end of the hall and my bedroom at the other end of the second floor hallway. Bill had another spare bedroom next to his and I had a small bedroom next to mine. Neither one was used. One night I woke up to a "smell." A "dead" smell. I searched all over and couldn't find it. As the days went by the "smell" became less and less but did linger for a couple of weeks and then finally disappeared. Several months later, when I was in the small bedroom looking for something I happened to notice a dark shadow in the bottom of the plastic trash can. I had no idea what it was. I put my hand down and lifted it out. "It" was a dehydrated BAT! Apparently the bat flew into the trash can and couldn't get out. My first thought was it must have suffered terribly before it died. Then my second thought was "How did it get into the house?" You had your scorpions in Texas. Your dead mice in Tennessee. So far no bats here, dead or alive. <br />A long story but I felt I had to share. And again, I'm glad my books found a home where they're appreciated. I tried to choose books that you liked. What other types of books do you like? I suspect you like history books. Of course you wouldn't' want any of my Republican bashing (Al Frank, Michael Moore) books. (big smile).<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-77039225503007200092016-07-31T10:54:05.503-05:002016-07-31T10:54:05.503-05:00Ahhhh ewwwwww!

Once had a cat drop a live mouse at the foot of the bed while I was sleeping and the mouse would run up the bed and down behind the headboard. The cat would catch it and drop it at the foot of the bed...etc, etc. Darn gift wouldn't stay put--LOL! But when I got up and turned on the light do you think the cat had any interest at all in catching it again? No, of course not. Had to quick shut the bedroom door to keep it trapped in one room and spend an hour catching it myself so I could let it go outside. Yes, dead mice are easier to remove--LOL!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-37865358676141978592016-07-31T08:15:21.435-05:002016-07-31T08:15:21.435-05:00Doesn't make me sick at all.

My mom fought mice and cockroaches in almost every house we lived in (and there were many, up until I moved away). She fought a good fight, but we still encountered mice once in awhile, dead and alive. I once had a parakeet that died due to my mom's spraying for cockroaches just before we went to church one day.
