An Open Letter to Anon

To my dear reader and faithful commentor:

Such writings should not be relegated to the comment section of another's blog. No, certainly not! Such skill, such humor should have its very own blog! Your most recent comment elicited far more comments than anything I've ever said. I am sure your many readers would love to be able to log onto your blog directly, instead of searching mine for comments.

Let the public speak! Are there other readers out there who think Anon. should create a blog for the betterment of society, for the pleasure of other blog readers?

(However, if not, your comments are always welcome on mine!)

We had company this weekend. . .

The biggest challenge for us over the weekend is not fighting over the baby. :)

Bees bees and more bees (edited)

My friend Nancy discovered bees in her garage in the drywall. She had seen a few bees fly in and out, and had sprayed where they went in. She could sometimes hear them buzzing in the wall out there, but she had no idea how big the problem was until she wanted to paint the garage. No way was she doing that until the bees were removed!

After finding out how much an exterminator would cost, she called some beekeepers who were very happy to rid her of the problem, since a queen honeybee is worth quite a lot. She had to clear that side of the garage, and as she removed a box from a shelf, she felt her hand vibrating. When she looked at her hand, it was covered with bees!! It seems they had an entrance into the wall from a hole in the inside wall as well, right behind that box!
So the beekeepers came in beesuits and smoked those bees to make them sleepy, then they vacuumed them out of there.
What a lot of bees that was! The hive was about 4" thick, and layered with honeycomb. I think everyone is truly happy now.

I am especially happy it was not my garage!
