One time years ago when I lived in California, Tony and I were giving an evening tea party in our back yard for some of the elderly ladies in our congregation. Tony was all dressed up with a black bow tie and a black apron like a waiter and was helping me serve. We had tables set up in the back yard with table cloths and candles. We hung pretty little white lights in the bushes and trees, and had soft music playing, it was just like a movie. Then all of a sudden this giant white faced, beady-eyed possum walked across the back fence and reared up on his hind legs. All the ladies started screaming and squealing! The possum liked to come out at night and pick lemons off of our little tree, he would eat the whole inside out of them and leave the hollow rind for us to find in the morning! Well, I didn't know what to do, so I told everyone to sit back down and said "Don't worry about him, he's my friend, his name is Rascal the Possum!" I don't even remember what exactly I said but I made up a cute little story right there on the spot. Talk about thinking fast on my feet! :) Pretty soon everything calmed down, the ladies went back to their tea, and Rascal got his lemon. Have a lovely evening ahead my friend! With Love, Delisa :)Delisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793953725620270977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-27356293822575380822012-08-03T08:21:11.085-07:002012-08-03T08:21:11.085-07:00Susie, you provided me (with a little help from yo...Susie, you provided me (with a little help from your brother) a much-needed laugh today!

They climb the ladders on our feed bins, raise the lids, and go inside to eat. If the feed is too low, they can't get out and alas! they perish! It gets nasty from then on.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-90752244036561377822012-08-02T02:00:45.349-07:002012-08-02T02:00:45.349-07:00I enjoyed this very much!I enjoyed this very much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-23263799483213848282012-08-01T21:18:17.304-07:002012-08-01T21:18:17.304-07:00A radio, huh????
