Just saw Billy The Exterminator for the first time on A&E..AWESOME

And you know we need help. I have written about my rodent woes several times but now we have a new predator...RACCOONS. May it is like a rotation effort around here. The skunks were king and I tried everything I could think of to get rid of them. Pest control came and caught quite a few (along with some wild cats) but the next year more returned. Oh how embarrassing when they spray the house in the middle of the night and our clothes smell the next day. Then the groundhogs came and set up shop under the house. When they run and fight I can actually feel them under the floor board under my feet. It is downright scary and at times it wakes me in the middle of the night. I need all the rest I can get in order to care for Mom. BTW, she is doing really well. Thanks for your prayers. But these raccoons take the cake. They are now pulling the gutter board off by reaching down from the roof. Then they pull the pink insulation out and throw it on the ground. Now the pest control is out of traps because Garfield is "overrun" with rodents. Though we are on the list for traps for next week (if any are returned) I wrote to Billy The Exterminator. I saw the show for the first time tonight and I sure hope he and his crew comes to Garfield. They're all so cute but they are menaces and can be dangerous.

Shae Shae Turns 31!

Oh what a blessing this wonderful child has been to me. Though she is 31, she will always be my baby. As a Mom, one of the first things I do in the morning and one of the last things I do at night is pray for my children. It is so important for me to see them grow and go into this world as positive productive members of society and Shae is definitely that. She has such a passion for the Arts, Education, and people. And God has blessed her to be able to utilize that passion daily via City At Peace in DC and in her church. God has also given her a wonderful circle of loving friends and I am grateful for each one of them as well. I am so proud of her and thankful that God allowed me, ME to be the steward over this marvelous human being. Thank you Lord! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAE SHAE!!!!
