We found a baby squirrel about five years back, and nursed it back to health with baby formula. We planned on re-introducing it to the wild, but the darn thing got so attached to us it wouldn't go away. Any time it would see us, it would scamper over, climb up, and perch on one of our shoulders. We were afraid to let it go because it might jump on someone who didn't know it was tame - give them a heartattack.

We still have it - and it's turned out to be a great pet. Squirrels are amazingly smart, and if you treat them right when they're young, they can be good critters.

I always like to hide things when I do projects. I usually take an entire newspaper or (ads & all) and stick them in the walls before I sheetrock. I would like to thing that somebody down the line will find them and appreciate it.

Last fall, my insulation project, installing insulation in the farmhouse attic (had nothing), I needed to pull up the T&G floorboards. The first floor of the house had been built in 1800. Walls and beams are logs. In the mid 1800's they (my great-great grandparents) removed the roof, added a second floor, then replaced the roof. Later on, the floorboards were laid in the attic and decades of stuff got stored up there. When I removed the boards to install insulation, I found a Christian Newspaper from 1875, Printed in Cleveland Ohio. Also found my Great-Great-Grandmother's hand written Birth Certificate dated December 1, 1835, in near perfect condition. Found my Great Grandmothers bible from 1872, had some photos in the family tree section, I'm assuming they were of her parents.
