Do you have guests coming to your home during the Thanksgiving and/or Christmas holidays?
I do. So I made up an information sheet with our WiFi password, home phone number, and address so if they need access to these things, they can find it quickly. In case of an emergency, the home phone number and street address is right there.
It fits in a 5 x 8 frame I got from the dollar store and sits on the nightstand in the guest bedroom.

Mr. Aitch and I had an unwlecomed and uninvited guest swoop into our house Wednesday night.
A bird.
A sparrow to be exact.
He (or she) was sitting on my front door decoration when Mr. Aitch went out on the front porch. As soon as the door opened, the sparrow made a beeline into our house. The bird flew into the family room and perched atop the entertainment center as Mr. Aitch and I figured out how to remove him/her without causing a major ruckus.
We don’t have a big fishing net like my parents used to remove similar unwelcome and uninvited guests in their house. The only fishing net we have is for aquariums and it just wasn’t big enough for the job.
While this brief discussion went on, the sparrow flew back and forth between the family room and kitchen taking in the view from atop the refrigerator then the entertainment center.
Our plan was to open the door from the kitchen to the garage (which is right beside the refrigerator), turn on the garage light, open the garage door, and turn out all the lights in the house and hope that the bird would “go to the light”.
And it worked.
The only presents the sparrow left for us were a few feathers.
I took my fake-nest-and-flowers-in-a-basket decoration off the front door temporarily so we don’t have any more unwelcome and uninvited guests.
