      3. Oh my. Now is your chance to do creative things like a clothes rack display hahahaha. I’m sorry. I won’t make light of a horrific problem like No Closets. In fact, it probably should be NO CLOSETS!!!

      4. NO CLOSETS – the closet guy showed up this a.m. for about an hour and put together the drawers for the main closet and then left. When i questioned him, he said he had 8 new Lab pups at his farm and had to help his wife take them to the vet…see me tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. sharp.
        Good grief.

  4. Spike is a man with a mission to undermine the Squirrel Empire. Charly is young yet. Soon she will take Squirrel Patrol seriously, but let’s hope she stays within the Morris Williams Perimeter!!

      1. Pops has been outside for at least 2 hours with no interest in coming in. She has several squirrels and various birds under surveillance. Nut case for sure. 😁
