We all know how much fun it is to visit some one's house, so while I was sitting in my living room chair just about to read the newspaper the phone rang.  I got out of my favorite rocking chair and picked up the phone.  It was my mother.  She was calling to see if I wanted to come over to her house for tea and cakes tomorrow.  Well you know me anything with food involved I'm all for it.  I told her I would love to visit her.  She was thrilled.  I didn't want to just show up empty handed so I decided to get her a small gift from the store.  Since she was going to be doing some baking, I thought I could give her some new hot pads.  My little visit went very well and my mother just loved the gift.  With summer coming to an end my vacation is coming up soon!  I will tell you more next week.

Sending a Card

With all the wonderful cards that we have here at the store, I decided to send a beautiful birthday card to my friend Claus.  Mice love getting things in the mail you know.  So, I know who I am going to send it to…but I don’t know which one to get.  There are so many different cards, I thought and thought and thought…what kind of birthday card would I like to get.  I like ones that make me feel warm inside and make me feel loved, not some of these goofy ones.......if you know what I mean.  Knowing how much Claus would love getting a birthday card that would make him feel special on his special day I put a lot of thought into just the right one.  I chose one that fit his personality just wonderfully, and I can’t wait to send it.  So if you ever need any kind of card stop at the store and check them all out!  There are so many I just know you’ll find everything you need.  That’s all for now, see you soon!

Fourth of July Picnic

     With the Fourth of July happening yesterday, I decided in honor of Independence Day I should organize a Fourth of July picnic.  What a wonderful idea, I thought to myself. So I invited all of my mouse friends to celebrate with me.  Now the only thing left to do was to prepare for it.  I must get the proper supplies for this special event.  So when you are going to have a picnic, you have to have a picnic basket for one thing, and for another, you have to have food supplies.  So I got my picnic basket out and started filling it with all the necessary things.  After a few trips upstairs I had everything I needed.  First I packed a blanket to sit on, then plates and cups, bug spray....you never know when you'll need that, and most importantly the food........FOOD! I live for food.  So I packed Cheese of course, crackers,corn nuts, popcorn, chips, and meat too....But there was something missing....mmmmmm....I know!  The best root beer known to mousekind...Millstream!  Oh yeah! That topped everything I need to enjoy this wonderful holiday.  I just can't wait for the fireworks!!!

New Furniture

     Check out this wonderful new home warming furniture!!!  We just got it in the store a few weeks ago.  This stuff is some of the coolest vintage looking pieces that I have seen.  I could not wait to check it all out.  I think some of this beautiful merchandise needs to be located down in the basement were I can enjoy it, what do you think?  I know how great I look in pictures, so I decided to pose for a few on my blog.  My favorite piece by far would have to be the tractor seat.  I just look so stellar in it, and it's very comfortable! This furniture would look way cool in any one's house, including mine =)  I love the way the pictures turned out too.  So if you're looking for some new stuff to add to your home you better stop by the store and see it before I decide I need it!

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

     I was thinking the other day that my little house is quite dark.  So the only thing to do was to go pick out some lights.  I didn't have to walk in the store very far to find light fixtures, and all kinds of lights, lamps, even chandeliers.  The only question was how would I get the light that I wanted down into my house.....mmmm I decided that I should pick out the one that I wanted first and then recruit some help to move it.  It sounded like a good idea to me.  Deciding on which light seemed almost as hard as trying to move it.  The one that would best fit my home was the chandelier.  It was the biggest one, so I decided to call one of my good friends to help me move it.  I whipped out my phone book and called the High Amana Store Mouse, he is always very helpful.  I caught him while he was just on his way out to visit Wilbur at the Meat Shop, this was ideal, he was already making a trip over to Amana anyway.  Naturally he offered his help and was over in a jiffy.  On reaching the top of the chandelier we loved the view that it brought. We could see everything in the store.  It was lots of fun swinging around on it too.  Like I said in a jiff we had it down, and it was on the way to my hole.  The only problem was, we could not fit it into the hole.  I was sooooooooooo disappointed.  Well not all was lost.  We both thought it would be a good idea to hang it outside of my hole, and it would still light up my house just as well.  So that is just what we did.  Don't forget there are still lots more lights here at the store and I'm sure you would be able to find the right fit just like I did!

Father's Day

     So Father's Day is this weekend and I could not decide what to get my father for a gift.  I thought that it might be a good idea to look around the store and see what manly things we have.  Starting in the basement sounded like a good idea, so I hopped out of my hole and started browsing around.  The first thing that caught my eye was the dual marshmellow roaster.....mmmmmmm I kind of wanted that for myself but I have to think of what my dad would like...Right, because it's Father's Day.  So I moved on the the cabin stuff.  We have cool cabin signs as well as furniture, bedding and all sorts of odds and ends.  I really like the log fans....but I would not be able to fit that into my house.  So I thought that a coffee mug and coasters would be just the thing...I don't know, shoot me some idea's on Facebook for what I should get!  I have my own page there, it is under "The House Mouse".  In the meantime I will just keep looking.  Talk to you soon!

Lots of Stuff!

    

     Sometimes as a house mouse I like to get out of my hole and venture around the store, even at night.  However, the other day I noticed something that I never noticed before. There is a lot of stuff in this store. I don't know how in the world those workers keep track of all that stuff. People are always moving things to different places, and once I figure out where things are, I come back and they are gone.  So I decided to move some things around and see if they notice.  One night I came to the conclusion that it was time.  I moved Christmas items, Spring items, Fall items, Summer items, and just about everything except the food, and guess what happened.....no one seemed to notice, unbelievable.  I guess that just means we have a lot of things in our store-----Good things though, and people know it because now that it is summer there are people everywhere, and sometimes I can't leave my hole because it get's too crowded.  Anyway summer is finally here and business is picking up fast, so don't forget to come and visit me! See you soon!!
