That was too funny! I could visualize the whole thing! The axe murderer was beyond funny for those little creatures startle me to! I was happy that I didn't read you banged your head on the ceiling with the appearance of the little ghost as it were! You are so funny I love to read your creations! sam

LOL Good description of the wee creatures and I have found a solution that works. I found these wee plug in thingies that emit a silen but high decible signal that mice can't stand. I haven't seen one since I plugged 3 of them in.Have a
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I think I would have slept in a tree, Taps.
I can't say they're cute -- maybe in the abstract, but they do give me the willies.
Have a great Christmas!

Whatever you're doing is working, Bel.
You have really grown as a writer -- yours is a very compelling style -- very refreshingly devoid of the usual cliches of pathos most folks have a tendency to over use. Keep it up -- you are quite good.
As to recipes, your wish is my comman -- I shall put up a couple post haste!
Take care and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Mice! I haven't seen one in twenty years. But, oh my, the 50 years before that. It seems like I was continually trying to keep them from taking over my house. Somehow they had really gotten a foothold in that neighborhood. They are cute though.

I have been doing some reading lately on "voice" in writing in an effort to improve my work. You, have q voice that keeps me coming back for more time and time again. I always walk (or click in this case) away from your blogs with two things: A smile on my face and a wish that you would post more recipes again!

Thanks for the mention and recommendation Strat that's really nice of you. I must say this was really funny. You are great. I am still laughing now, even as I write this comment. And I'm really glad you let the little mouse go in the woods. Well done.
