Under appreciated mouse

     There are times when a mouse is hungry, and when a mouse is hungry strange things sometimes happen.  Last night I was sitting in my easy chair reading a book on "How Mice Conquer the World" when all of a sudden I felt a rumble in my stomach.  Now this was not the ordinary hungry feeling that everyone gets.  This was much worse.  So I put my book down and walked over to my refrigerator, and looked for something to eat.  The fridge was empty!  What, "how could I forget to replenish my food this week?", I thought.  Well, I told myself that I must have something to eat or I won't be able to sleep tonight. I searched and searched and searched, but I could find absolutely nothing.  Then a thought occured to me, I shouldn't have to replenish my fridge, the problem is, the staff here at the store does not feed me at all.  That was the problem.  Well I'll just have to fix that, I thought, so I went up to the main floor.  The store had long since been closed for the day. I'll just withdraw what is rightfully mine.  If they won't feed me I'll just feed myself....the free way.  I hopped up on the food cooler and snagged some of the best cheese and meat, and then I moved over to the shelves and found the yummy brownie mixes. I did disrupt the shelves a little bit as a friendly present to the staff the next morning.  Nothing better than a mouse making a mess, I thought.  Nobody appreciates me anymore, well maybe some day they will.  Very soon my hunger was gone, and I was sound asleep.

Scavenger Hunt

So I mentioned last week about a scavenger hunt.  Well I decided to make a list for my friend Wilbur the Pig at the Meat Shop.  Here is what I got so far.

Wilbur must find something….

 

Sweet

Salty

Pleasant aroma

Soft

Orange

 

     What do you think? Wilbur will be so surprised when he finds out I made a scavenger hunt for him. There are so many things in the store, it is hard to narrow it down to only a few things.  I think Wilbur will get a kick out of it.

 

A few days later…

 

     Okay so when Wilbur went through the store he told me that he was offended by some of the items we had at the store.  I asked him which ones he didn’t like.  He said “First off what is up with that Maple Bacon Taffy?  I kind of chuckled a little bit because I knew he would find that first.  For the salty item, he found the bacon salt…..I think he is beginning to wonder if this is a prank….well it sort of is.  However, he did love the candles and the soft multipurpose towels.  Yes, the last one was a pumpkin, and the only reason I threw that in there, was because we got a lot of new Halloween merchandise in, and I thought Wilbur would like to check out some of the new stuff.  Overall I think it was a success!

            The House Mouse is back from vacation!!! I can't wait to tell you about all the wonderful adventures that I had in the past week. First of all it was wonderful to have a week off of blogging and working. Camping was a great success. We road on boats at the lake, went fishing, swimming, and played lots of games. The most enjoyable part was just relaxing. Now that I am back I am trying to think of something fun that I can do in the weeks to come. I just haven't figured out what that is yet. So tell me, what happened while I was gone? Did anything change? What's new? I will have to catch up with all of my friends later. For now I want to tell you that I am planning a scavenger hunt! What do you think of that! I haven't quite punched out all the details but I will keep thinking about it. Right now I am just trying to get back into the flow of things again. I hope to see you at the store soon. We have lots of new merchandise and it's coming in like crazy too. See you soon!!!

     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.

 

  

My Mom just loved these potholders!

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!!!
