The wholesale destruction of my furniture is due today.

Oh well.

It’s only stuff.

I had two ferrets who would barricade themselves in my old sofa.
After the third time, I gave up and let them be.

Then I’d go cook some peas and bring them in the living room, yelling “PEAS!! PEAS!!” and they’d come tearing out for their favorite snack.

The people in the next apartment thought I was a bit “spayshul” since I never told them I had ferrets or why I kept yelling “PEAS!!” in the middle of the night.

LOL! "PEAS"......That's funny. I wonder if your neighbors thought you were announcing ever time you went to the restroom? :)

Prayers up that your baby comes home to you today!

Salamander, I just had a wild thought. It's a 300 year old house. Perhaps Alice is actually on an excursion for Divine providence to lead you right to the “Lost Treasure of Edward Teach!” At a cursory glance the dates and location would seem to match. So, if Alice crawls out of a knothole in a log, knock on it to see if it is hollow or has a space under it.
