I too was blessed with hearing so acute that I can hear a cricket chirp in the far reaches of the basement with the door closed. I cannot tell you how often I am the one up in the wee hours, wielding some make-shift weapon, chasing off some nighttime critter bent on robbing me of sleep. My husband can sleep through noises that would normally wake the dead.I crawl back into bed, having dealt with the blasted interloper,to hear him snoring like a grizzly completely unaware I was even gone.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-21990717751293461762009-07-28T08:53:56.338-07:002009-07-28T08:53:56.338-07:00you have a WONDERFUL way of writing! and i LOVE yo...you have a WONDERFUL way of writing! and i LOVE your sense of humor that shines through! :) thank you for sharing the morning smiles! have a GREAT day! :Dxashee's cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464812799526878424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-20316876683397777162009-07-28T07:28:16.311-07:002009-07-28T07:28:16.311-07:00It cracks me up that both Jeff and Mike send the w...It cracks me up that both Jeff and Mike send the women on the mission of finding the noise that lurks in the night.
