AND THE CRITTER IS............................




We have "flying squirrels" in the house.....now, I know what your thinking...cute little squirrels, kinda like Rocky.........No, these things look like a cross between a squirrel and a bat....I guess he thought he could keep our Moose company...........Wednesday the guy comes back out to extract them from the attic where it seems they have set up shop......the house will also be sealed up from the outside so hopefully they won't be able to get back in......Can you say....."Creepy".....

Sue, I cannot tell you how terrified I'd be!!! FLYING squirrels... regular squirrels freak me out... they're just so darn skittish.

It makes me laugh though because it reminds me of my old apartment in Jersey before I moved to DC. I lived there for a few years and during that time, I had encounters with squirrels, a dead mouse (ick!), and a bat flying around the apartment. It was the worst. Now that we live in the city, the biggest problems are pesty pigeons living under the a/c units and the occasional cockroach. I think I'd take a squirrel though over the gross cockroaches! They get HUGE here in the city! Yuck!

Oh my! I hope they use a 'have a heart" traps and deposit the little critters in the woods somewhere. I can only imagine how much noise they are making in your attic! We once had a squirrel in our attic running back and forth -- he chewed right through the wood of the rafters to get in! We had to seal it with aluminum.

To answer your comment -- St Patrick's doesn't allow many weddings to take place -- they aren't a parish but the seat of the archdiocese of NYC. Therefore they refer most weddings to parish churches. I'm not sure how you can petition to be one of the weddings they do allow, but I know they are rare. I'm sure the waiting list to be married there would be years long otherwise.

Sue! They have it on Amazon and on DVD too!I ordered a copy for my Mom as an extra Christmas gift. Uh huh. I have long loved this film...it just gets me and I love that you understand what I mean! I know some of the *back stories* about it as well...like the whole Robert Walker/Jennifer Jones stuff but I just like to think about them IN the movie, not outside of it. Does that make sense? It is such a sweet and gentle film...no matter how many times I see it, I always burst into tears when the train is pulling away and she runs along side of it shouting goodbye...


And I also see you love Manhattan Murder Mystery too! We LOVE that film!! Classic Keaton/Allen!!

My father had one as a pet when he was a boy. LOL! I'm glad you figured out what it was and how you can humanely get them out of there. It's scary to hear things like that!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
