Good Night Mouse

10-25-2023

So I had a number of different ideas to post today but my husband has trumped them all. Last night celebrating 36 years of marriage he says to me he is proud of what we’ve built – the ways we’ve grown and the wonderful children we have raised. Well dang.

So I want to share a gift I gave him. Actually, wasn’t the one I gave him last night, but this one means a bunch to us:

Thrift shop – maybe $2? Can’t recall but I could NOT pass him up. We’ve decided it is a mouse (note the tail) but hey,  nose is a bit off and ears look like an elephant so who knows?! Seriously, someone’s child made this of clay and put A LOT of work into it – look at that adorable colored quilt! And who knows what the funny doodad on the far side of his nut bed is?! So this orphan mouse with serious extremity issues has come to live on hubby’s dresser. Oddly he is often mentioned – as in “why the heck would someone throw that away?”. No idea how old he is. Guessing made in the 1990s or so. We are glad he resides with us – and can do without the live ones that also do. Goodnight Mouse.
