Today was an exciting day....

Mike with the help from Patrick got the rest of the ceiling up in the living room. It looks very nice. So we moved everything out of the library room with the exception of a couple of box. I asked Mike to move the boxes to the center of the room so i could paint the base board, he decided to go thru them to see what could be taken out so the boxes could be moved to the attic. Most of the boxes we haven't gone thru since we moved in last year. As Mike was looking thru one of the boxes he jumped back and said i think this one has a snake in it. So we all followed him out front. Sure enough hiding in the bottom under everything was this black snake. Patrick took it out and all the kids in the neighborhood had to come see. Patrick and his friend took the snake down the rail road tracks by the creek and let it go.
So we all go back to work, I was painting in the library and 1 of the cats come in the room. She keeps smelling 1 box on the bottom of the pile. I had 1 of the kids tell Mike i need him . (he was in the attic) i tell him what the cat was doing and that i think there is a mice in the box. (we had found plenty of evidence of mice) He goes searching thru the box and sure enough there is a mice in the box. I go get our black male cat George because he is our mouser. As soon as i put George up into the box and he sees that little rodent he pounces. When he had that thing in his mouth Mike picked him up and sat him out the window to play with his catch.
The pictures are Mike & Patrick putting up the ceiling and Patrick and the snake. I'll get pictures of the library as soon as I'm done painting it.
