A Mouse in the House

It was a really nice day. The sun was out in the morning and B had arranged to have the boat put into the water. This is really exciting because we are now here all the time and can enjoy the boat during the week when the lake is relatively empty. Weekends get busy and we tend not to go out as we don’t want to fight the crowd. I went with him, and brought the car back home so I could continue to DUST… When he called I drove down to the dock - they were all tied up - the Captain did good!!!

After a trip to WalMart to buy some fenders for the boat (unsuccessful) and lunch at Wendy’s, we came home to darkening skies. Rain hit around 3:00 and it’s still gloomy. After doing what we needed to do - I started dinner. A recipe from long ago with beef cubes and paprika.. Something different. So I’m in the kitchen, a load of laundry is in the washer (close to the kitchen) and I hear a noise I attribute to the washer. I’m browning the onions and such having finished with the beef and A MOUSE RUNS OUT FROM UNDER THE STOVE ACROSS THE KITCHEN FLOOR!!! I screeched… let out a yell so loud B came a running. Don’t know where the mouse went, but he took off as scared of me as I was of him. (I know, it’s a mouse already - but it startled me) Don’t know where he/she came from. We haven’t had any mouse in the house - did have them in the garage. With all the people trapsing in and out of the house during the work on the bathroom and kitchen it’s possible that one (HOPE ONLY ONE) got in. After dinner (which was, by the way, very good) we set a trap. We shall see if we catch the mouse.

More on the mouse later… hopefully a report that we “got em”.
