Snakes in the Dryer
Last Saturday we Sheryl and I held our 25th anniversary party.
When I said in an earlier posting that we would have a full house, I wasn’t kidding. It was practically wall-to-wall people, but what a group!
I will not attempt to name everyone who was there, since I would run the danger of leaving someone out.
The party ended around 11:30 PM, and Sheryl and I started trying to put the house back into some semblance of order.
At about 12:20AM Sheryl went into the garage to finish drying some clothes, and found that the dryer would not run.
She began to think, “Hmm, we’ve had this problem before. Could it be?”
So she moved the dryer away from the wall, took off the back panel, and there it was: a black snake that had crawled in to the dryer through the vent. It was very much alive, and not at all happy about being disturbed while resting in a dry, warm and comfortable place.
Sheryl enlisted the aid of our daughter Rose in safely getting rid of the snake, after which the dryer ran fine.
Ah, life in the country.
I’ll have some pictures of the party soon.
