Then laundry would start to disappear - over time, it was getting so bizzare until one day they noticed clothing sticking out of the hardwood floor. Stuck in the cracks. Sure enough they pried open the floorboard and down beneath their floor was all their missing laundry, etc. <br /><br />Turned out it was packrats.<br /><br />They had found a knot in the hardwood floor, that had popped out, where they would take stuff down through.<br /><br />But. That doesn't explain your clock. You signed off on one key word at the end of your post. Shenanigans.<br /><br />Isn't that what you call FPFG - sometimes? Are you sure she didn't stop by to pay a visit, unbeknownist to you. :)Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-21941880638237193312011-07-25T16:28:31.375-05:002011-07-25T16:28:31.375-05:00Jayme,
