There once was a woman whose house
was home to far more than one mouse
Though she bade them to leave
they ignored heartfelt pleas,
so she had no choice but to de-louse
Bold husband concocted his snares
tightly wired and placed with great care
Snap! Snap! went the traps
and that ended that.
New mousies had best be bewares!!
Nix the comfort zone 
Laughed out loud – love it!Sent from my iPad

Hannah and I tag team v the mice. She sets the traps. Once successful she puts a notch (with a sharpie) on the trap to record another victoire. I take them back to nature as part of the cycle of life. Hope you two are on the mend.

I love the sharpie “notches”! Too funny! Other than an overfull stomach from overindulging in lemon squares, I was never sick. Kurt was diagnosed with something tick-borne yesterday and is now on antibiotics.
