Camping Trip

The Dodgeman and I ventured out last weekend for a camping trip.  We took our "mini" Border Collie Tessie with us; she loved being outside almost 24/7! What we really loved is the fact that we finally got our air mattress to inflate after the first night!!!  It just so happened that we spent the night on the cold hard ground!!  It was so much fun inflating it on Saturday morning, that we decided after breakfast we'd indulge in a nap to hopefully relieve the pain in our bodies??  We slept for at least 2 hours and woke up briefly to light drizzly rain.......I have to say though....the fires are the best part of camping!!

Bunko and Friends

I love to play Bunko! This Tuesday was our regular scheduled time; we meet at 6:30 pm at a friends house
to eat a bit before we start the whooping and hollering......

I happened to make my rounds from table #1 to table #2 & on to table #3; that's when the "fun" really began!!!  It so happened that the gal whose house we were playing at has a big furry cat named Gus.
Gus lives near a field of sorts and usually avoids us noisy gals when we play; however he had missed us gals so he frequented the kitchen and dining room often while the dice were rolled.

Somewhere before we broke for dessert, I was absentmindedly squishing my toes on the plush carpeting enjoying the softness. I kept this up until I noticed there was a rough patch on the carpet.....not thinking about what it might be I casually glanced down. Nothing that I could see at first.......

Then I REALLY LOOKED!!!!  HOLY CRAP.....THERE WAS LYING IN THE SAME SPOT I WAS SQUISHING MY TOES WAS A   D E A D   M O U S E!!!!!!!

I WONDERED WHY THE CARPET WAS SOOOOO SOFT IN JUST ONE SPOT????

TO MY DISMAY.....THE BUNKO GALS GAVE ME THE NICKNAME OF "stroker ace" on account of the fact that I lulled the mouse into a "deep dreamless sleep"  aka  DEATH FROM DA-FEET!!

Reeling it in

My hubby Dodgeman rarely lets me photograph him. In fact, he has told me several times that I'm not allowed to take pictures of him.....ever!  So I sneak in a photo while he is otherwise occupied!   I'm thinking that this was the really big trout that got away; which is why I out-fished him again! And was told to "put that camera away" but I didn't!
