And so it begins

Mary Mouse came back from the store with the current issue of Good Mousekeeping in the top of her totebag. She set the groceries on the round table made from a wooden spool that had once held sewing thread and took off her little yellow pumps. She put on her fluffy bunny slippers and hummed a little tune as she put the cold things in the fridge. She had about twenty minutes before Bernice and Scott came home on the schoolbus. She poured herself a cup of licorice tea and sat in her overstuffed chair made from wicker and cottonballs. 'Ah this is the life.'
