Every Tuesday, only missed one because of vacation.
Hi all!
DW and I picked up a visitor last night. We were watching a show in the great room (log cabin home), heard something rattling about in the second floor overlook and then above the kitchen cabinets. Eventually we saw it - a juvenile gray squirrel.
We chased it around a bit, trying to trap it, but no go (a lot of Christmas decoration clutter). The little bugger was having a ball, running around on the log beams that span the great room, and dw was trying to stun it with a broom [emoji16]
I had enough fun, so retired to the BR with the 3 Aussies, while DW stayed in the living room on guard duty. Apparently she laid down on a couch, was drifting off to sleep when she opened her eyes briefly - the squirrel was sitting at the far end of the couch, just looking at her. My theory is it was rested up, wanted her to play another round of chase [emoji3]
Today I ordered a couple of live traps, they'll show Tuesday (none of the local stores had the smaller ones for a little critter), and opened a couple of storm windows so if it pops in again tonight we can open the inner windows to let it out.
Best case it went out already, is telling tales to its litter mates at the nest. Worst case it's decided DW is its newfound human friend, who likes to play with it at night[emoji2]

My 24yr old GD went in the hospital Sunday afternoon to have labor induced so she could have her baby. The baby is under 4 lbs and has Trisomy 18. The baby was born last night. No word yet on condition or expected survival.
Baby and momma are so far doing well. Trisomy 18 babies are usually born with clenched hands. Here is the little guy. His name is Dallas and his birthweight was 3lbs and 12oz.
Dallas is beautiful, Fran! Praying for him, and your family 
Happy Belated Birthday, Dee!
Happy Belated Birthday, Dee!
Thank you Dallas no longer has the tubes for his lung function. He now has lung function working well. He did lose a little weight but hopefully he will gain some now.
