Obituary of Mickey A. Mouse

Funeral services are pending for Mickey A. Mouse.  After a wild and riotous life of following the trappings of temptation, the life of Mickey A. Mouse was cut short by his inability to follow the straight path of resisting temptations.  As many of the youth of today, Mickey A. Mouse pushed his limits a little too far and the result was fatal.  He passed on 9 Oct. 2010.  Family and friends are invited to call at the Geneva Waste disposal area at Geneva Road in Orem, Ut.  Gas masks are advised. 

In lieu of flowers, please send your donations to the "Haunt-A Virus" research fund.  Funeral arrangements being handled by Burbidge Waste disposal.  His body will be transported to his final resting place on Friday Oct. 15.

Sadie COME BACK!

Until Sadie died in Dec of 09, through the whole 13 years we had her, no mice.  But now Mickey is here to stay, checking things out for his little family and making sure there are no big kitties, so now he says, ALL CLEAR, guys!  We have found our home.  So another night, no bait left in the morning and the trap hasn't sprung.  What is the deal....

Last night I didn't feel well and couldn't sleep and heard him rustling about the kitchen.  Having a midnite snack on bait and what not.  I think we have kept him well fed and happy for his recent stay.  For sure this is a good place for him to call home...Better luck tonight.  And if nothing, out come the mouse pellets.  I don't like using this, but I don't like him here.  It's my house, not his...and I pay the groceries and should decide who to invite to dinner.

Mickey The Mouse

I always brag that my grandkids are the smartest, cutest, most advanced, bla, bla,bla.  BUT my mouse is equally so.  He can get off every morsel of bait from the trap without a scratch.  He must have checked the internet as to "How to get bait off trap without causing you bodily harm" and learned the latest techniques in the mousetrap feeding...soooo tonight the bait is under the little bait holder rather than on top of it.  So we are crossing our fingers, otherwise things will get ugly soon.

Community Trees Online

Today we talked about a project called community trees. Just what I want for my Jaryzsow Reconstruction Project. I have been looking for some way to put this online. Maybe this will help. I also discovered, quite by accident, a man in a French-Polish genealogy forum that was looking for records of the Kalisch family in Nogowschuetze. What a strange surprise. I am really excited about this. I posted a reply and hope you will see it and respond to me. I have many Kalisch in my reconstruction project. And only one of the female name that he had which was Kondziela. It fact, he was searching for an Agnes and that is the only Kondziela that I have found.

Mickey!

Mickey is smart, or something.  He ate all the bait in 3 mousetraps...What does that say for traps?  The traps  tried to catch us a few times as we set them.  I hate this.  What to do?  I can't stand the "remains" and the thought of where has he been??? Yuch.

Tomatoes, etc.

I have lots of green big fat tomatoes.  So I brought in a bunch to see if they would ripen.  I sure hope so!  It's supposed to be cooler this week.  Any chance of frost??  I don't want to lose the tomatoes that are still out there.  But I didn't want them all at once.  The rest of my garden is really winding down.  Not much out there anymore.  But then it is officially OCTOBER!  Where did this year go?

The grandkids and their parents, of course, went to Bear Lake for the weekend and so things were quiet, but I really got caught up on my genealogy projects, although there is still tons to do, I felt like I made a big dent putting things on PAF and my Jaryzsow project file.  I have been able to put lots of Jaryszow families together and I am so excited about that.  I feel like this is a worthwhile project.  Oddly, I don't know anyone else that is researching here.  But with all the many Silesian researchers, eventually I will find someone, I'm sure.

General Conference was good.  I really noted that the speakers, many of them, were discouraging video game playing, etc.  I can see that will be a challenge to many.  But it does seem like a waste of many hours accomplishing very little. 

Well, getting late and I am getting tired.  So this is a quick little post.  By the way, dispite several traps, our potato chip eating friend, Mickey, is not interested in the bait.  Spence even put potato chip on the trap.  No nibbles.
