The satanic Red Squirrels have hit a new nerve.
I took the car in for an oil change and was alerted to the terrible news that the squirrels have now been nesting in the car’s engine! Besides stuffing areas with insulation from my workshop ceiling, they’ve chewed critical engine/computer wiring to the tune of $568. Thankfully –and surprisingly– the car insurance picked up the bill.
This is not so uncommon—seriously?? WHAT NEXT?
Needing a distraction from THAT aggravation, my mother and I ran off to see the very special exhibition of
Dressing Downton Abbey!
The costumes were INCREDIBLE! They were the ORIGINAL costumes worn—NOT REPRODUCTIONS! The women were MORE shockingly tall and skinny than I was expecting—the bigger surprise was how TALL -and skinny- the men were! (We usually hear about how short so many male actors tend to be.)
The exhibit ended Sunday for us and is traveling to
Richmond, VA next!
Are you reading this Connie?!?

Okay, so last on my list is that I’m having hand surgery Thursday morning.
Squirrels! I have not seen those for years as I am on a little rock in the Caribbean and hoping my house sells soon so I can get back in the states. I enjoy your posts and send prayers for your fast recovery. Blessings

Yes, I’m reading this, and I will definitely plan to go see this. (It was scheduled to open at Biltmore shortly after we were there last year.)
Hand surgery is good, even though it will make for a a very difficult short term situation. I will be thinking about you.

First of all … Connie, if you’re reading this … You MUST go! ha ha! Secondly … about the surgery … YOU WILL BE OKAY! … I worked for a surgeon that dealt with this type of thing and as “yucky” of a surgery as it is … You will be waaaaay better off for having it! I hope you have a speedy recovery and all goes perfectly well for you, surgery is never fun :0( Smiles and Hugs for you! (and shame on that little terror of a squirrel! … pick on someone your own size! ha!)
