Is he still there.............

We went down to Elsinore yesterday planning to spend the weekend. However, when we stopped in Richfield to pick up our "Little-Home-on-Wheels-on-the-Prairie", there had been some problems with the warranty company. Not sure what to do, we went on over to our place to check on our "gopher guest". And low and behold......we no longer will be enjoying his company!!!!! Brent found him in a trap in one of his holes. (Sorry for the photos....but we are so proud & happy!!!)



It was such a relief!!! I was afraid that we would be contending with him all through the winter which would mean that we couldn't put the patio back together before the snow falls. So we repaired the patio & got everything back to normal, minus our home......
Then we cleaned up a bit, went to dinner with my folks who were down there visiting Grandpa. & then headed over to see him. He is still doing so well. He might even be up to coming north for Christmas. He hasn't committed yet.

Since we thought we'd be staying in our trailer, we were not prepared to stay down there without it. No toothbrush, pj's, etc. So, we just came on home. It was a long day, but a very rewarding one on so many levels.
