This little church is St. Augustine Episcopal. It is a cute little country church. They had the Ecumenical Good Friday Service there today. The church is surrounded by horse farms. I should have looked for the cornerstone. I'll have to find the history of the church.
I was going to fix the holes where the mice are getting in under the sink. My trap had been sprung and the peanut butter licked off but the mouse outsmarted the trap.
I found his tail sticking out of the drain of the bathtub. I put on my rubber gloves and got a plastic bag to put him in. I thought he was dead but when I touched him, he moved. Ah!!!!
I went over to the manager's to see what she might suggest. I thought maybe I could borrow her cat but the cat has been declawed. She called a guy working on the trailer across the street. He came over with some long needle nose pliers. It seems the mouse got its head stuck. Totally gross.
I have had bad luck with that Great Stuff Foam. The first can I had, the trigger broke. The can I tried to use today, gave a short burst of air and then it was out of what ever propels the stuff out of the can. I am going to email the company. That's two cans I bought and could not use.
I found some tub and tile caulk and squirted that around one of the holes. The other is harder to access. I'm not sure how I will get to that. There is a two inch gap between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor. The floor is where the problem is and the entire sink vanity is bolted down to under the floor. I wish people would do things right. Hello, if you leave a gapping hole in the floor, critters are going to come in.
I also found that Danny had thrown up on the living room rug. I have a blanket folded on the floor for him. He hit the corner of the blanket and the rug. I guess he tried not to hit the rug.
When I took him for his walk this afternoon, we saw a large group of children on Mallard Drive. I wondered what was going on and then I saw they were carrying Easter baskets. They were having an Easter egg hunt in the trailer park.
That was cool. They do a lot of nice things here.

How I loved the picture of the small church - so lovely. And, also the picture of the flowering bush at the Creamery, with the water out in front. It looks beautiful. I don't swim, but, I so love being around water - it has a calming effect on me. I remember my mother saying how well she liked to be around water too.
It's really great that your park does nice things for their residents and children. The Easter Egg Hunt was probably great fun for the kids and for all of you who watched them too. It's joyful to see the children having so much fun.
Then, there is the mouse!!! Oh my goodness - how yukky it must have been for you. I would have gone a little goofy I'm sure. You need a handyman for a day or so to fix up those spots that cause you serious problems, like the mice and critters getting in. It really is something when people don't maintain their homes. You know the people that lived there before you bought it, had critter problems too. Why in the world wouldn't they have wanted that taken care of? When you mentioned that Danny got sick on the carpet, I was wondering if you happened to see any mice tails? Just kidding Karol.
Have a great weekend. We're having such beautiful weather right now. Record breaking high temps. It is supposed to get a bit cooler over the weekend, but, still should be in the 60's. We're not complaining. Oddly enough, after reading about all the rain in other parts of the country, we could use a little rain here. It almost looks a bit like that could happen. Ruth
