Making Lemonade . . .

My dad had this poster back in the 70's. I have to admit as a young person it sort of grossed me out that the lemonade was pouring out of the guys nose. Frankly, I didn't get this at all. 

Now, as an adult I get the sentiment (I still think the visual is gross). 

Last week I had the unpleasure/pleasure of "making lemonade". We live in the woods. You can not see a neighbor in any direction. We love the remoteness but it means sometimes sharing our space with not-so-welcome friends.

In this case, the intruders were mice. They let themselves in and snacked on my pot holders. My first reaction was... 

AAAGGHHH!

My second reaction was. . . 
good! 
Now I have a perfect reason to invest in some new organic pot holders and oven mitts. 


So I did just that. I ordered 2 sets from A Greener Kitchen. Aren't they lovely? What an improvement. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" Indeed.
