A few weeks ago when I was at Sam’s Club (you know it) I spotted a ginger bread house kit. It came with the ginger bread all cut out and all of the decoration for the house. So, I bought it. I figured that Rachel would be bored over Christmas and put the thing together. Well, she did. But now the question is “what to do with the thing now that Christmas is done?”

Initially, Kathy wanted to put it out with the trash. But, I reminded her that we always throw our expired bread and veggies into the back yard for the critters. And the ginger bread house was no different that a stale bagel. So, out in the back yard went the ginger bread house.

It sits there under the trees, waiting for some mouse to take up residence. It is like a little house on the prairie.
