Patsy, thank you for your nice reply, and sharing your armadillo story. I laughed over and over about it. Once grandma put the armadillo on the air conditioner to dry she probably forgot all about it. A good thing also, can you imagine if she had tried to take it home with her on a plane, ROFL. I wouldn't have wanted to be her seat mate LOL. Indeed I do know what Houston, TX. is like in the summertime. We lived there for 3 years about 30 years ago, window units and all. My husband worked on the Houston Post and I worked in a dry cleaning plant. I don't think hell can be any worse than a dry cleaning plant in Houston in the summertime LOL. Gail in La.
