Between Naps on the Porch: Mischievous Mice...They're Back!

Mischievous Mice...They're Back!

Last year, right around this time, some cute, mischievous mice showed up at Michael's home (Designs by Gollum.) You may read about them HERE. Then the next thing Blogland knew.........

I caught them...in the act! It's Michael's mice!

Last night I curled up for a good read of that wonderful Christmas classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. Sipping on a steaming mug of hot chocolate, with a crackling fire close by, I must have dozed off. I couldn't believe my eyes when I awoke!

After stuffing themselves silly with hot tea and scones all night at Michael's, these two little mischievous mice have scurried over to my house where they have been caught red-footed. Would you just look at what they have done to my reading glasses!

And it appears those little stinkers have left Santa a message...

Eeek! I liked them better when they were covered in chocolate and had cherry stem tails! I shooed them away, but now I'm wondering...where will they show up next in Blogland? :-)

(Mice/Glasses are by Enesco and the name of the ornament is "One Foggy Christmas Eve." It's the third in a series called "Christmas Spectacles" and was produced in 1991.)

Mom (after I got her out of the hoosgow) actually had to go to the nursing home today to make a decision about a feeding tube, she has lost 7 lbs. in a month, not good, God love her, so Susan I am asking that you and our fellow bloggers send many many prayers to God to do what he thinks is best for her. Thank you, Carol

At Wednesday, December 16, 2009 , Lynn said...: Does anyone who has this ornament know the actual name of the ornament from the box? I can remember seeing this for sale a number of years ago. I buy all of my children a Hallmark ornament every year and over the years we have quite a collection. each child will take their ornaments with them when they marry, to place on their own trees. This year 2 of ours married so we are missing 55 ornaments this year on our tree. Sniff sniff... anyway, I wonder what the exact name of this mice/glasses ornament is. I'd like to search for one.
Lovely post!
At Wednesday, December 16, 2009 , Cindy said...: After seeing this adorable ornament last year, I went on a hunt for one of my own and finally found it! It's called "One Foggy Christmas Eve" by Enesco. It's the third issue in the "Christmas Spectacles" series, made in 1991. Hope that helps! I'm certainly enjoying my little mice friends this year!
