Two thumbs up!

The Robin Cook book, ‘Intervention’, proved to be a very good read folks! It was finished with relish earlier today.
Side note: Robin Cook lives in Florida now; he’s one of our own.

Yesterday, we had something enter our backyard shed and the only reason we think that we know that is because things were knocked over in it, so Hubby did report to me. And so Hubby went out during our rain storm and reopened the door to allow whatever critter was in it was able to leave, but silly us, would you go out in a rain storm if you had a dry shed to stay in? The shed does have quite a few hiding spaces in there with all its stuff, and so whatever is in there is probably hiding quite well.
So the door was soon closed once more by none other than Hubby.

And Hubby felt the need to devise a Rube Goldberg-ish trap for our little trespasser to knock over on he/she’s exit in case we weren’t watching on that occasion. The door is set three quarters of the way closed with this block in the doorway that once triggered just a light piece of plastic about the size of a shirt cardboard will fall over, simplicity at its finest. But so far nothing has happened.
Hubby figures that the culprit got in when he was mowing the lawn yesterday.
He does have a tendency to leave doors open; that is the shed’s and garage’s side door, and I always worry about critters trying to make their homes inside.

I do harbor a bad memory of that rodent getting in there, the garage, and then the rest is history as they say!

Memories can be wonderful too though especially when you see a photo of someone you recall from your past in a good way. I had the joy of seeing an entire family I basically grew up with their picture was posted on my Facebook site oh what fond memories that brought back!

Sadly, in devastation of national natural disasters many of us forget that those photos cannot be replaced, and so I recommend making copies and putting them in very safe place or mailing them far away to someone you trust.

I guess since we are getting closer to our hurricane season this June first marking the beginning, a little over six weeks away, it is making me go into psychological preparation mode, since this year the country and pretty much all over the world has had with all those unfortunate natural disasters. They are saying this year may be bad for us in the gulf coast area too with our hurricane threats once again, if interested to see you can: go to copy and paste this site: http://www.mahalo.com/2010-hurricane-season-forecast

On that guarded note I will wish you all a pleasant good night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!


PS Last night was movie night here, and we saw Sherlock Holmes, it was very good!
