Years ago I tried to step on a bunch of ants in my loft kitchen area. They would curl up and when I stepped away would uncurl and go on about their business. So I vacuumed them. Hee hee hee.

We have various sizes of ants up here, some are huge. Fortunately they don't come in the house much, but once in awhile one wanders in.

Okay, but the see-saw!!! and the hot dog, we have chili, onions and everything but catsup (Ketch-up".

I was surprised once to read that it's not correct to put catsup on hot dogs, never knew there was a right or wrong to it.

I am in agreement with everything except hot dogs. We have them with chili
cheese and chopped onions and mustard.

It's been a long time since I've had brats. Maybe I'll get some now that everybody is going to be home again.
