The people who come in the store said that my internet customers get cheated because they don't get to hear all my little stories.  If I have any new ones I will put them here to share with my internet customers.  My latest adventure was finding a rabid bat.  When I took it to get tested the scientist said it was a big brown bat, and that I packed it well (scary huh) .  I guess I can put that on my resume.  He said it was rare for this type to be rabid (1 in 20 to be exact).   They had 9 bats from my county tested that week and mine was the only one that was rabid.   I have a kitten that a good friend of mine gave me for my birthday.  The kitten had all its shots but he was too young to have the rabies shot.  I had him out on a leash that day and he was able to reach the bat.   Poor Max he is out of quarantine and went to get neutered.  I got a call from the vet saying Max was doing well but .....Max is a Maxine.  The poor baby has been a girl the whole time.  She was seen by 3 different vets and they all thought she was a he.  I'm going to have to send Max for kitty therapy now.  I am sure she has issues after all this. 

I have a new grandson.  He was born on April 24,2008.  He was 8lbs 1oz. and 21 1/2 inches long.  His name is Riley Joseph Murphy.  He is little but he's already a handful.  He tires out his mom and his grandma.  He comes in the store every now and then.  He loves the cash register.  You gotta watch him tho because he likes to fill the numbers with alot of zeros after them. 

We took Riley to the Syracuse State Fair.  He loved the tractors, the motorcycles,and the shiny cars.  He got his picture taken with the Marines, Army, National Guard, butter sculpture and sand sculpture.  He managed to stay awake most of the day I think it was harder on me than him.

Summer is almost over here in the great Northeast.  It was a rainy humid one with alot of bad storms.  We lost our crab apple tree to straight line winds and one of the locust trees.  Its a good thing we have a yard full of trees since we seem to lose at least one a year. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people who lost their homes or loved ones in the  hurricanes! 

Riley was baptised at the Auriesville Shrine on Sept 13.  He slept through the whole thing.  This boy doesn't sleep I can't believe he slept through the entire ceremony.  He loved his party in the visitors center.  He is always eager to entertain everyone.  . 

Riley was a monkey for Halloween (a fitting costume for him) since he doesn't stay still and makes monkey sounds.   We got a trick from mother nature a few days before 4 inches of wet yucky snow on my halloween decorations.  I hope this doesn't mean winter is coming early.    Well tomorrow is the big day Obama or Mc Cain will be our next president.  Either way this country is in big trouble and the next president will have his hands full trying to fix this mess.  The American people are resilient and we will prevail inspite of the blunders of the past.
