Toadfrogs and Elephants

Wade’s latest project is the closet doors in the Master Bedroom. When we bought the house the his and her closets had lime green trim and bi-fold doors that didn’t fit. Wade has been on the hunt for some antique pocket doors for his master plan (I’ll wait till it’s finished to explain). We have been to two local salvage places, but they didn’t have what Wade wanted. He finally found a place called Jan’s Antiques in Chicago. We got there and found a warehouse full of “stuff”. Jan was super nice and very spry for a little old lady. She and Wade moved and shuffled heavy doors while I stood in the corner and kept my breakfast down. We eventually found some doors, did a little dealing, and got a free window to boot. Too bad we didn’t have a similar place when we were redoing our last house!

On the way home we stopped at Cracker Barrel. I have never been to a Cracker Barrel that wasn’t quite right. Wade’s gravy wasn’t seasoned. My ham biscuits were served as flat biscuits (not fluffy) and a side of ham. The hashbrown casserole tasted the same – thank goodness.

This is really just about one bat. Wade and I went to the fair tonight and were both pretty tired when we got home. I was sitting on the couch reading when I see something move out of the corner of my eye. I look up and realize a bat is flying around the living room. I call to Wade and he doesn’t answer. I go upstairs and he is watching something on his iPhone and laughing out loud. I keep the dogs with me and he goes to investigate. When I don’t hear from him I venture downstairs and he is sitting on the couch watching TV. He says he can’t find a bat. He eventually gets up and finally finds it in the basement. He traps it under a broom and then we transfer it to a bucket and take it outside. Now the big question is – How did it get in?
