The Berger Buzz: I'm just wondering: Was it Mickey or Minnie?

I'm just wondering: Was it Mickey or Minnie?

Yesterday, while preparing for dinner guests, I opened the silverware drawer and started digging around for a butter knife. I suddenly noticed little wood shavings near my Wilton frosting spreaders....and they were scattered all over the drawer. When I pulled the drawer out and investigated further, I saw the dreaded droppings that could only mean one thing: MICE.

I quickly remembered that my neighbors have had the same experience, and so we called them for advice.

Once I got over my initial disgust and cleaned and sanitized everything in the drawer, and re-washed the silverware now sitting on my dinner table awaiting guests, I went into "JUST KILL IT" mode.

I am happy to report that this morning the score is:

BERGER FAMILY 1

FIELD MICE 0

I'll keep you updated as the stats change.

GRRRRROOOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!

I do have some advice though . . .
mice like dog food, so make sure you're not helping to feed them by giving them access to Ozzie's dinner.; 9/01/2008 11:16 AM

Don't use those! The old fashion traps that spring are perfect and the mice like peanut butter! I hope you just had one little visitor!; 9/01/2008 12:13 PM

About My Faith

I am a woman who believes that Jesus Christ died for my sins, that He rose again, and that He is coming back again. I have put my faith and trust in Him because I believe that the Word of God, the bible, is truth. I pray that my life would be a living reflection of who He is and that His love would shine through me in all I do and say. I spent several years living "on my own" and out of God's will, and those were some of the most trying times of my life. I learned that I cannot do anything good apart from God. I also learned that God's unending, amazing grace was (and still is) sufficient for me. I finally turned my life over to Him in 1999, and I have never looked back. Am I perfect? Oh, no! But at every turn, I know that His hand will be there to guide me, sustain me, and carry me through each day, month, and year. He is all I need!
