I loved raising cockatiels in Mexico. We hand fed them and they were very tame and trusted us implicitly.
I thoroughly enjoyed your trip vicariously! I'm also fluent in "muttering darkly". Just ask Jennifer. Ha!
As a public speaker and avid reader, I LOVE the analogy! Thanks for sharing that.
Are those from Pittsburgh? I lived near there once upon a time.
Sounds like even if you were addicted to some of those things, you seem to have overcome them all.
I noticed the first few times things went a little slower for me as well, but it seems to get faster. I, for one, would be disappointed if you didn't stay.
Eddie, you are too kind! THANK YOU!
Your part of the country is so attractive to so many people, but I've never wanted to go there because I assume it's always hot. When I travel for leisure, I like to go to the cooler places. This Oklahoma heat has been brutal this year. Carry on.
Yikes! Now I wanna try that Chocolate Rugelach...
The little guy prolly clawed his way in to get away from the HEAT outside! I've worked the last two days out in the sun (starting at 7:30 and stopping around 4:00) and needless to say, I'm ready to go back to selling Medicare Supplements!! LOL
I've not been faithful enough to deserve a vote, but I'll slip my "aye" in here. If I knew how to run it, I'd offer to host it on a domain I own, but that software is probably owned by Eddie. Whatever happens, I'll be OK with it.
Thanks, Eddie. It's been fun.
Hummers have always been some of my favorites, in spite of their ornery streak! Take care.
