The Abominable Opossum Part:2

So...this opossum story take bit of a twist. To the question of how it got in the house, well... it crawled up the the main water pipe and destroyed the floor around the pipe and crawled in. Talking with the Maintenance Man we figured there were more opossums around under the apartment. We decided that one of us should go under and check it out. Needless to say the Maintenance Man was scared so I went under, thankfully for me...& the opossums that there were none to be found. With no success at tracking the felons down, we settled for a trap by my front door. Well, 2 days went by with no success when one morning I was walking out the front door at 5:30am to go to work, When the mother of all opossums came running at me! With little time to contemplate, 5 hrs of sleep between jobs & extreme irritability due to lack of java...I kicked the opossum! It flew back and landed where of all place?, the trap. All the people in the apartment complex said it was the biggest they've seen. It was so sad, I put her in the back of my truck and drove down the road and let her go. She was so cute...all white with gray ears.

The Abominable Opposum

So…we had an exciting adventure here a couple nights ago – an opossum in the house!! I was just chilling in the living room, and Frank was at the computer, when we heard a bunch of racket in the kitchen. So we go look, and a baby possum was just knocking over stuff, and breaking into my Ritz crackers! Frank had me watch the little scoundrel while he went to go tell Miss Spivey. She called the police, and Frank beat the poor little thing senseless with two steel sticks. So when the officer finally showed up, he said we weren’t in trouble or anything, but there was nothing he could do. But we did have a good laugh. Frank and I ended up taking the possum to some old bike trails here in Belleview – hopefully far enough it won’t come back!

Love Is A Mystery

Love can come to anyone,
At any time and any place;
No one really knows how it happens,
It comes and goes without a trace.

Sometimes we think we are in love,
But are disappointed to discover;
That the other wasn’t worthy,
An unfaithful spouse or a lover.

True love will always be a mystery,
But faithfulness is the key;
Not only in our actions,
But in our lives, word and deed.
