Ratty, part II

Just wanted to assure people that the way under the sink has been closed off by wire netting, so vermin have a smaller chance of getting in or out.

The exterminator said that the rat most likely came up from the sewers through the powder room toilet, so we are keeping the lid closed. I may get an unpleasant surprise in the early morning, but the care I will get in the coronary ward will more than make up for it.

HWMBO was horrified when I told him the story about the rat, by the way. He hates having vermin around, and complains about it, but when the vermin are finally brought to book, he's sad.

Today's Heartwarming Story

James and Lolie Brackin were married for 59 years and were devoted to one another. They died together in a nursing home just a few minutes apart. The quotation I like best is this:

“They say when you die, you’re immediately in the presence of Jesus,” said their youngest daughter, Dana Troublefield. “I think she got up there and said, ‘Where’s my husband?’ And Jesus said, ‘Just a minute. I’m working on that.’

“She didn’t like to go anywhere alone,” Troublefield added.

Would that all our relationships were carried on and ended so beautifully. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.
