FIRST -- AND LAST? -- EXPERIENCE

I left to pick up the g-kids from school. Pulled out of our driveway, turned down the street, moving happily along..

AND SUDDENLY -- a mouse showed up on my windshield, right by my steering wheel -- OUTSIDE [thank you, Jesus].

It then ran across the wipers area and under that area. Then came back... and forth.

I needed to stop at a shop, and when I started to climb out of the car, it was half-way on my door... front feet clinging to my door. I was freaking about it falling into my car and running across my lap, and on and on.

Well, I didn't see it again. I did get out of the car... very carefully ... and as I was heading into the shop, that was the last time I saw it.

Gone, gone, gone. [However, is this a clue of what we're headed for in our house this winter?] Our neighborhood has at least 3 stray cats, and I've been feeding them. Maybe that will bring a huge benefit as winter hits... maybe I can feed them more and more and more ... and hug them lots, too.
