                For the last few days, I’ve been hearing something I was not able to readily identify…a “crinkle”- like sound…and it was really “bugging” me! It always happened when I was home alone, in the evening,  and sitting in my favorite chair, reading the paper or watching television. I mute the TV – and I still hear it, so it’s not coming from there. I lay the paper aside – and it’s still there! What in the world is it?? I even wondered if there was something in the walls!! (Christmas mice?) No, no – I sure hope not! I don’t have them…simply won’t allow it…NO WAY!

Last night I solved the mystery…

                I recently put out the Christmas decorations…I put one of those angels (it’s actually for a tree top, but I have it on a table) that is illuminated and animated – the head, arms and wings move back and forth. I’ve had it for several years and I love it. As I looked in that direction, I focused on the wings moving – and each time the wings went back…THAT WAS IT! Of course, I never noticed it in past years because I couldn’t hear. But that beautiful angel, which I love so much, is NOISY!

                And no one else in the family has ever complained about the noise!
