Oh, these are the people in your neighborhood...

We have a new neighbor. Well, he's not completely new, he moved in last fall when our previous neighbor became, um....deceased. Our new neighbor is pretty quiet, really. Keeps pretty much to himself. On occasion we have observed a few of his little idiosyncracies. Some are more noticeable than others, I guess. Mostly he just goes about his day to day business.

But...we want him gone. OUT. We don't really enjoy having him in our neighborhood. He doesn't really fit in the mould here in our block...with the Pastor, the Pharmacist, the Lawyer and the Grocer. (Of course, I would NEVER say that to his face!)

So we've come up with a devious little plan. We've invited him for dinner. It will be pleasant enough...we're fixing what we think is his favorite dish. But we're going to spare the pleasantries...and (*smack*) just get down to business. I'll be brief on details here, because I really don't want the word to get out of our plan to run him out. It must go just right.

But you can be thinking of us. We'd really rather not have this neighbor much longer. He just doesn't fit with our crowd.

Oh...here's his picture, just in case you find him moving into your neighborhood. TRUST ME...your neighborhood is better off without him too!

This little guy or girl roams the neighborhood and is quite common...when we stayed with Mike's parents just down the street from you guys he or she liked to be out and about when it was dark out and you couldn't see if he or she was even there!!!

I changed the picture... We just were looking out the window and saw not one, but TWO happy skunks parading around our yard (in the opposite direction from the trap). :(

Hey Elizabeth, we had a relative of your neighbor last fall in our ENTRYWAY...we had to use the front door to come and go because he made himself right at home...I use straight ammonia, soaked some rags and laid them by the doors and down in the nice hole he made..and he decided to pack up and head it out..... :) just thought you might like to try a stinky solution....HA

I KNEW you were up to something! I was thinking, "This isn't like Scott and Liz. What's going on? What's the trick?" There it was - a skunk! Pesky critters they are. I hope your dinner party goes well and that no one leaves with a fowl taste in their mouths. LOL!

OH NO... Get rid of that bugger!!! Get him evicted!!!! I guess the flip side is that you could look 'him' as a sign of Spring!!
