1. Last night, all the neighborhood dogs had another crazy barking night. But mine were sleeping soundly like good little girls in their sleeping cage! I am not "That Neighbor," after all. (whew!)
2. Speaking of animal invastions, last night I peeked into my closet to find it so infested with ants that I had to move half of my clothes into the garage and Stephen had to spray down the corners and baseboards with ant killer. I have never seen so many ants on clothes in my life! And I hadn't left a sandwich in my pocket, or anything.
No more animal stories!

- 4- World Without End by Ken Follett. Pretty good sequel to Pillars.
- 5- Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Really great medieval story. Good strong plot and compelling characters. Read this!
- 3- The Alchemist's Daughter. Pretty good medieval-ish novel. Good twist at the end.
- 2- Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll. If you've ever wanted explicit discussions of Elizabeth and Darcy's intimate activities, including lengthy discussions of Darcy's "love torch," this book is for you. (is redeemed to a 2 for humor)
- 4- The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. My first library sale purchase is a hit!
- 3--The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket and Brett Helquist. Okay, but not as clever as all the hype. Maybe it will be a 5 by book 13?
- 3--Stowaway by Karen Hesse. Pretty good YA novel about Captain Cook's journey to Australia.
- 4--Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Re-reading it despite objections from my presby. friends. Always good for a fresh perspective.
- 4--Snow in August by Pete Hammill. Great, original story.
- 3-- A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt. Worth reading for extraordinary wit and word play, but beware of pretty objectionable content.
- 3-- Educating Alice by Alice Steinbach. Read it for the interesting content, but you'll have to overlook the author's pretentious style.
- 0--Lake Wobegon Summer 1956 by Garrison Keillor. One too many "luscious orbs" jokes.
- 4--Forever by Peter Hamill. Good if you like New York and have the sense of humor of a groundling.
- 5--The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs. Laughed out Loud
- 1--Flight of the Falcon by Daphne du Maurier. Zzzz.
- 5--Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. The good news is, you get 7000 pages before you have to say goodbye.

I heard from someone that ants like laundry detergent, so they're attracted to clean clothes.
One time, I put a cake in my microwave to hide it from ants, and came home to find my wonderful cake had become its own ant colony. It was horrible. But at least it made sense, because it was food.
Sorry to hear about the ants. Maybe the spiders eat ants?
I had to evacuate my closet recently, too, because a certain animal that now lives in my house decided to christen my dirty laundry... learning to keep all doors closed.
Ants are attacking our dog's food bowl. I'm not sure what to do about it.
THe funny thing is that it was my long-sleeved shirts that were attacked, and some of them hadn't been washed or worn in a long time. Because I had the idea of the detergent thing as well...
Wait... your dogs have a sleeping cage? What's that all about?
It's a cage. They sleep in it at night...we don't let them loose in the house while we are sleeping. They're good about it, we just say "Go to bed!" and they both trot into the cage and lay down. Sometimes if they see us turning off lights they go and get in before they are told.
Aw, you don't let them sleep in your bed and lick your toes?
(I wouldn't either. Sleeping cage sounds great to me as long as they don't whimper at bedtime.)
Jon used to have a dog that would sleep in a cage like that. We tried it with Friday. It worked the first few nights, until that "cage" (the cat carrier) became the same thing that transported him to the vet's. Never again was he okay with getting inside it.
