My maiden name is RATledge. My students named me Miss Rat and have given me rats and mice over the years. When I saw the "three no evil" mice I had to have them for my collection. I also write books. They sit on my desk where they add a little evil sometimes to my mysteries.
I lost my father last year and my mother's sister has ended up feeling a lot of the emotional support role he offered. My father was really into meditation and my aunt really likes harpy eagles, and so I just love this piece.
