11:15 - Meghan opens bathroom door, only to discover a cockroach(!) acting as a blockade through the door.
11:16 - We trap the cockroach under a container while we formulate our plan of action.
11:20 - Meghan stands with shoe in hand, ready to squash the cockroach after she quickly lifts the container.
11:26 - Meghan still stands with shoe in hand, unable to make herself lift the container to smash the cockroach.
11:28 - The dome girls formulate a new plan.
11:30 - We successfully slide cardboard between the floor and the container, trapping the cockroach inside, allowing us to flip the container and shut the lid on. (This process was much easier to describe in writing than to actually carry out.)
11:33 - The lid of the container is ducktaped on.
11:35 - What do we do with a cockroach sealed in a container?!?
11:37 - Laura's mom suggests setting him sail in the open waters.
11:45 - The cockroach gets carried off in a strangly strong eastward wind.

Please, oh please tell me you poked holes in the lid so the poor little God's creature can breathe?!?!?!? And I'm sure you also put a small bowl of food and water so that he won't starve before he arrives at his new country across the river?!?!? How about a note? Did you leave a note in the ship telling the new potential family his name, favorite TV show, and his favorite color?
I hope you were considerate of his needs and prayed a prayer of protection before sending him off with his breeze...

Hi Meghan,
It was so nice to see your home....I've heard about it of course but pictures are always good. I laughed so hard at the story about your visitor. Did you know cockroaches can live 7 days without their heads? Good thing he’s gone sailing! Hope all is going well for you. I sent this on to Melissa and Sarah so they could enjoy as well.
Take care,
Bette
