This is a picture-less Flashback Friday. Instead, it is a story-time Flashback Friday! YAY!
Last night I came upstairs to find six or seven of those annoying miller moths circling the light above the kitchen sink. It reminded me of a summer when they were REALLY bad. We would get at least 10 in the house every night. We would usually put out a bowl of soapy water and leave them alone. Well, this one year, Neal would grab the moths out of the air one by one and toss them in the water. It was hilarious! We called it "Moth Soup". Many moths lost their lives to the "Moth Ninja". I wish I had a video of it! Maybe next summer....
