The other evening while she was taking a shower I heard "Ray, could you come here a minute?" This was said quite calmly, showing no signs of distress.
When I went to see what was up - she simply pointed to her 'shower guest' and asked if I could remove it. She did give a little shudder thinking about being in there with a large scorpion just above her shoulder!
I removed the scorpion, from the shower and from the land of the living. He never should have come visiting, at least not there and not then.
Not too much later, Becki once again said "Ray, can you come here?"
I returned to find my wife just beginning to dry her hair and a smaller, though lively scorpion scuttling along the floor. It soon went the way of the first scorpion.
Ah, so I decided right then and there (again, not just for the first time) that I love my wife. No loud screeching about a horrid life-threatening discovery, no jitters afterwards that kept her awake during the night or wanting to flee. Just an opportunity for me to be her 'hero' and remove the uninvited guest.
Yep, I love my wife.

Ray, that is a great thing to be for your wife. I know I appreciate it when my husband is able to take care of the "critters" here for me. I pray you are always around when she needs you to continue to take care of those wonderful critters you have been blessed you with. They sure make the spiders we have here look like nothing!
