Critters, hiding in the cupboard?
Baja Tommydog to the rescue --- he knew something was hiding back in there.
OK, photo not taken in Baja, but Baja Tommydog has been helping my 90 year old mother-in-law move.
Floor and shelf paper sure tell how long since there were any changes made in her home.

Diane - be careful when you send a dog/cat into a cupboard chasing a critter. You never know what they might encounter. Look what we pulled out from
under the sink...

Diane,
Don't hold out on us now, what did Baja Tommydog find? Hopefullly nothing as big as Baja Gringo is holding, unless you have a lot of c-cktail sauce on
hand.

He found NOTHING and drove us crazy.  We think there is something living under
the cupboards.
And for you Paulina, I know you like hats---thought you might like these.
We had fun sorting through some of her really old hat boxes from the days when women wore hats everywhere---here are a couple of my favorites.
And the feathered one she said was always her favorite.

I love them. I have my grandmother's collection, two large bins full. Of course she must also have matching gloves, shoes and purses to go with them.
They would look smashing on you while shopping the fruiterias!

Not often one can share a picture of a hallucination. What in the world is that thing?

IFF: I gave this to my neighbor who can tie anything you can dream up as in "how about a cross between a muddler and a sanjaunworm and a caddis
spinner fall". I gave him this picture and he's gonna try to tie a 1/10 version. heh

I have not had anything that looked like that since the early 1970s. That was when I also had my orange shag carpet.
Picture was taken at my mother-in-laws while we helping her pack to move---and both were probably installed in the 1970s. Does make your eyes hurt.
Then again, shag carpet and rugs are back, so who knows, maybe that floor and shelf paper will come back. 
Was real surprised to see this long ago thread brought back, but the creature is something.

Dibs on the orange fridge. It all looks normal to me, what's the fuss?

Your neighbor is indeed gifted 'cause a caddis never goes through a spinner molt.
