The Honeymoon is Over
My wife DeDe is a wonderful writer. She’s also cleaning my clock on Swahili. What she wrote about a rat problem we had is worth sharing. Enjoy! Actually Curt and I have never been better. However we live in what is affectionately called the “Honeymoon Cottage” at the retreat center where we stay. While we were in Uganda the rainy season began. This encouraged a very large rat to move into our home. You know the saying, “When the paka (cat) is away the panya (mice) will play.” Well, this is not a mouse, but a large rat. The type that like to live in barns. I am wondering if Ken remembers the rat we stoned up at the barn one time when we were feeding.
