I just had to share this with all of you. We are having a nice thunderstorm. The nice kind where you hear the thunder and see occassional flashes of lighening and the rain speed is just right. Relaxing, soothing... We decided to open both front/back doors and screens to hear the rain better and breathe in the wonderful smell of earth and water. The temp has dropped and the coolness is refreshing. So, here I sit in my comfy chair all relaxed and feeling lovely. My cat, Miss Pretty (13) comes through the door and wants me to brush her. I do even though she is wet. Soon, she leaves my lap and heads back out. A few minutes later she comes back through the door, jumps on Chuck's chair, jumps on the table betwenn his and my chair, jumps over to me and...has something in her mouth. I saw a flash of it before she made it to the table but sat stunned with fear. By the time I could move she was already on me and dropped...a dead mouse in my lap. I am not afraid of mice but was afraid it was a snake or lizard. I m sooooo glad it was not a snake/lizard. Anyway, I had to accept her gift and praise her for it. Eventually, after noticing i wasn't eating it she ate it. Now, I am afraid she will be bringing me "gifts" everytime we open the door. I must be on my guard. LOL! She gave me a fright, but gave me laughter, too. Hugs When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~ Erma Bombeck
