Last week my Bible study group had a brunch to finish off the year. We usually all bring something good to eat and always leave stuffed to the brim! I was the first one to arrive last Tuesday. My good friend, Sherri met me at the back door. (We are next door neighbors.) As I walked in, I noticed the ghastly look she had on her face. I immediately thought that something REALLY tragic had happened and braced myself for the bad news. The news was not bad, it was just extremely gross and a bit unnerving. As Sherri reached into the sink to finish up a few dishes, she grabbed something soft and...mysterious. It was a dead mouse and I do believe that Sherri almost had a heart attack!! Somehow, with great courage, she managed to put her hand back into the water once again to pull the plug. That was when I entered the picture.
Since I grew up on a farm and kind of pride myself in being adventurous, Sherri thought I might not mind disposing of the mouse. I did grow up on a farm and I do consider myself a bit daring, but this chore was not one that I had on my "to do" list. I would have done it, but thankfully, I came up with a better plan. The painter had just arrived at my house so I ran over to recruit his help in the matter. He gladly took the mouse out and had a good laugh. He even took a few pictures on his camera phone.
Poor Sherri! It just about did her in! A word to the wise...Never let your dish water sit unattended. You never know what might crawl in. (The poor little fellow was kind of cute, don't you think?)
