My week has involved yard work and housework, doctoring myself with cortisone cream on insect bites, staying inside to escape the Texas heat, and trying to trap mice who have made our house their home.
How ’bout you?

Love that Victorian cottage, the cute little dresser, and would sure like to have some of those hush puppies!
My daughter got bit by a mouse she was trying to rescue. The dog needed antibiotic ointment from some bug bites. And I’ve been buying and selling antiques. I sold a Depression-era school clock to the HBO show “Getting On.” It will be hanging over the nurses’ station in the show. I’m semi famous! lol
