Gotcha!!

GOTCHA!!
(Notice the trap on top of the live trap - - that was his next move!)
Craig has been 'hunting' this critter for several months! This poor little thing has eaten our deck, dug holes in our yard, and crept around the bushes in the back yard since summer! One day last week I was standing at the kitchen sink and I saw him jump out of the snow bank, leap through the air, and dive back into the foot of snow! He was so quick!!

Poor Craig has tried everything to 'live' trap this little fellow. He's left him gourmet meals in the trap, he's strung pop corn across the cage to entice him, he has lured him with peanut butter covered cheese, and even tried to trick him with other yummy snacks. The chipmunk would jet in front door of the trap, and out the back door! Craig tried to balance it, ramp it just right, wire the door shut, and even rigged a wire across the ramp inside. Finally, thank God, he got him!

After a short, little ride in the car, Craig let him out in the neighboring woods. I'm looking for the chipmunk to return any day . . . expecting his next buffet!!

Cutest shoes

Aren't they so cute!
Wouldn't you agree these are the cutest shoes? Saturday was a rainy, gloomy day - a perfect day for the shopping mall. While Craig and Tom were at the Golf Expo, Connie and I shopped around at Twelve Oaks Mall. These shoes were calling my name! After trying them on (several times) I decided I needed a shiny, new, black, pair of dress shoes!! Sooooo cute!! Love them!! AND, they were on sale! :) Plus ~ I received a free umbrella with the purchase!! It was a win-win situation!! You know what they say . . . if the shoe fits, wear it! :)
