A Lesson Learned

Today we learned an important lesson--keep the screen door closed!  Yesterday we watched our lizard friend as he explored the patio and ate a bug.  We admired him from afar and enjoyed watching him explore.  Today, we watched him scurry into the house.  Carmen was eating lunch on the patio and left the screen door open for just a few minutes.  The little guy made a quick dash for it and ended up inside!  I was speechless and hopped onto a chair, Grandma was calm, cool and collected and immediately got a plastic container with a lid to catch the fellow.  Carmen yelled, "Grandma, get it, get it" and she hopped onto the chair too and wanted Lamby.  Grandma to the rescue.  Grandma gracefully scooped up our lizard friend from the window sill (he had hopped onto the couch and landed on the window sill; who knew the little guys could jump) and deposited him outside.  Apparently she had done this once before...not the first time an Arizona creature has made its way inside and probably not the last.  Lesson of the day--the screen door stays closed!
