Won't you be my neighbor?

So on this lovely Monday afternoon. I walked over to my neighbors house. Her tomato's where getting ripe like crazy. I picked them then knew she was totally overwhelmed with work and stuff. So I asked her what she wanted done with them. She said whole tomato's. I said OK took her bottles and the tomato's and went home.
This is what she ended up with. 10 quarts of tomato's.

I love my neighbor so much and I am glad that she is my neighbor and lets me do her canning for her. I really do like to do it.





I also proceeded to mow the lawn. All by myself. Usually I make Gene or the kids do the lower have because we have been know to have those creepy slithering things in our ward. Then I watered our yard. I mean really watered like almost flooded our yard.





Then for family night I made us all go out and weed the raspberry's. I will only do this when Gene is home to do the whole snake check thing before we start weeding.

Next thing I know is that Kelty has gone in the house. Surprise surprise she somehow managed to get out of weeding. All the sudden I hear tons of commotion in my house and hear "Dad, dad, there is a snake in the house. See previous post about how terrified of snakes I am. Thinking she is joking he walks in. Sure enough their is a snake in my new living room. He gets it kills it and then flushes it sown the toilet. Great now I have the fear that somehow its going to slither back up my toilet and bite me on the butt.
In all seriousness, he has a friend who works for the sewer plant. I really asked him if he would call him and make sure it came through the sewer so I know it is no longer anywhere near my house.
Gene proceeded to laugh and tell me no. I am serious here I wanna know its gone.
Then to top it of I have ants in my master bathroom. It's on the second floor of my house. Who what and how do you gets ants in there?

So question of the day. Who wants to be my neighbor? I will bottle tomato's for you.
Or better yet, my house is for sale. Who wants to buy house, it includes snakes, and ants in your bathroom. Great selling point huh.
