It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Stocking Hangers!

Tonight's the big night, where Santa rises out of the pumpkin patch...Oops -wrong holiday...

Family and friends - I hope you have a wonderful, magical Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I know we will!

Aren't these adorable Christmas cookies?

The mice are made from Hershey's kisses, almond slices and cherries. Too SWEET to eat!

There is a reason I chose mice for today's photo.

Yesterday at the health club I was doing my water exercise, and I was the only person in the pool. The lifeguard was busy in the pool office across the hall.

I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, and 'what to my wondering eye should appear, but a little gray mouse who didn't belong here!'

The mouse scurried along the wall - as I scurried for the steps thinking 'Don't jump in here with me, mouse. Don't jump in here with me!'

I told the lifeguard (yes, you know him - it was the famous 'His name is GEORGE?' lifeguard) about the mouse, and he in turn got the maintenance man. They made a plan...

Armed with empty plastic tubs, they flushed it out and then set out to capture the mouse (humanely, even) by barricading its hiding place with the plastic tubs and forcing it to run into one of the tubs. The maintenance man then calmly carried the mouse outside and put it out on the grass outside the club.

Charlie and I can go to the pool today and see if the mouse managed to get back in.

Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone gets out early from work!

Merry Christmas!
