Yeah, she upstaged Grace Kelly, and I like Grace Kelly.

“As far as my career as an actress went, Mogambo was probably as close to a pinnacle as anything I’ve done. For someone with my naturally irreverent temperament, playing a sassy, tough-talking playgirl who whistles at men, drinks whiskey straight from the bottle, and says about wine, ‘any year, any model, they all bring out my better nature’ was a gift from the gods. I never felt more comfortable in a part before or since, and I was even allowed to improvise some of my dialogue.”

-Ava Gardner on her role as Honey Bear Kelly in Mogambo (1953)

update

It's been a while since I have done an update. We are so close! The wall is up and mudded. We have the door and he is going to install it this weekend so the drywall dust won't go all over the house when he sands it. We now have the fridge and all the supplies to get started, thanks to everyone who purchased from our Amazon wishlist! There are still supplies on there since those needs will continue and each squirrel may have their own individual needs. I have been using the #fetch app and have earned gift cards to get a #mintmobile phone for the rehab and business cards printed at #staples I plan to pass them around when we are up and running, though they say nature always finds the helpers anyway. I've talked to both the DNR inspector and the person who processes the applications just to make sure we are ticking all of their boxes. I made an info graphic for the front page of the website that tells exactly what to do if you find a squirrel in need. I'm almost done with the indoor enclosure. It only took me 3 restarts and a week on the couch raw dogging kidney stones because my insurance doesnt cover scans, but i have designed a cage that can be split in two to fit through the door in case of an emergency or need for expansion. I'm pretty proud of myself! We are still "discussing" the floor. He still wants to do the vct tiles but we could do it faster and cheaper if he would give in to linoleum. The tiles will cost over $700 but we could do linoleum for less than half of that. We decided while we debate the floor he is going to finish the wall and door and we will call for an inspection before finishing the floor just so we can move on in the application process. The plan is to be ready by the end of the month because March and April are the busy season for babies. Anything you would like to donate would be so appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️ Much thanks to everyone who has helped so far!!! We have also collected some adorable decorations. My mom made us a quilt and I'm going to hang it on the new wall. We also found these adorable paintings at a flea market from #frankandbeans and when the artist found out about the rehab she gave us a 2nd one for free! ❤️ I am amazed everyday how much kindness is still out there in the world!
