Broughton HS ( my m-i-l graduated from there) was the first or 2nd band that marched and being a past band member from another school I will say they looked wonderful. Read this article about how long their Band directior took to get them ready for this chance of a lifetime...

I saw my in-law's in increments over Christmas. I dealt with the younger sister on Friday night and they backed over 2 of my special made candy canes ( who cannot back out of a driveway that is lit up like a runway with candy canes--only ones who thinks they are a genius). We had to find it the...
Thanks to all of you who took Flat Stanley into your home and showed him around your city. Kathyrn made an "A". Flat Stanley was a very busy boy. He went to China and hiked the Great Wall of China and flew First Class on AA to France,visited Ky, and Tn. That's all I know of right now. Kathyrn...
My beautiful girl is in the 3rd grade at Bethesda Christian Academy here in Durham,NC and for Christmas this year she suggested that the class raise money for a bicycle for the Durham Resuce Mission. The 3rd graders kicked it up a notch and raised enough money for 4 bicycles and our local...
and I am looking another job and have an interview on Teusday in the Psycology/Neuroscience Dept w/ the University. I have been with the same MD for a little more than 5 yrs and he has for the most part been a great boss, but last week I took heat for something he should have taken care of...

Molly the hound dog loves scatch feed and pellets just as much as the chickens do. If we are feeding the birds she is raising all grades of you know what to get some of the same. If it is treats, she is to get some. I just shake my head and give in to her to shut her up.
My kitty that had grown up with my DD had to be put to sleep yesterday because of internal injuries suffered from being hit on Monday. This kitty and her brother who passed about two yrs ago were my first animals that I had as an adult that I did not have to share with my sister's or my mom. My...
My cat has been chasing this mouse in our house for a week and we had even set out a trap for the rodent. She finally got it this morning and looked at me as if to say" well I finally did it". Punkie is not normally a mouser but I think she understood us saying that the baby duck could probaby...
person current or former this coming Monday for a Veteran's Day Chapel at my DD school. They are having a service to honor the men and women of our armed forces and they have someone from the other 3 branches to carry the respective flags in the processional. If you can help them please contact...
was awesome this year!. The turkey that won Grand Champion was from Maiden,NC and he was just fantabulous. He kept strutting his stuff and gobbling at the girls. I found two blue muscovy hens that I will be getting myself. I could have stayed in the poultry barn and got happy. My daughter kept...
The husband has decided that the new baby duckling will probably live on our back deck when she gets older. He is spoiled rotten by Bo Peep. He sleeps with her sleeping on his chest. All I can do is shake my head. He talks to her as if she can understand every word he says. My DD and her still...
My DH went out to feed the birds and went into the duck coop and found our chocolate muscovay male dead. It has broke our hearts. We are trying to figure out what has happened. He was just fine the day before when I was in the coop and he was being Carlos. We lost two more eggs that the girls...
today for show and tell. My DD got to tell both classes of 3rd graders at school how she takes care of her duckling. All of the 3rd graders got to hold Bo Peep and watch her follow Kathyrn around the room. Bo Peep took it all in stride. My DH took her back home and put her in her box with the...
There is a small NC town in Wake Co that wants to put a limit on the # of pets that a family can have. Whatever would we as feather friend lovers do if they imposed such a limit on us. My county thankfully is mostly rural and likes the fact that we still have a good deal of farm land and no one...
I have just done this and my phone tells me that I have give Sprint permission to locate my phone. Better to be safe than sorry.
You may remember that a young woman was recently abducted from a Target parking lot in Overland Park , a suburb of Kansas City . Her body was discovered many miles...
My DH was in the bathroom and just happened to see a possum find his way and we have yet to find the hole into Sir Rooster's coop and get on the feeder and swing away like he belonged there. My DH promptly took his shotgun and took him out with one shot and the birds never flinched. They looked...
My daughter will soon be doing the Flat Stanley project in school and I am clueless. We will going to Jamestown on December 14 as part of the Flat Stanley project and for the children to see up close what they are currently learning about in their history books which BTW I am having a blast...
Does anyone have problems w/ weasels? My s-i-l in Va. had a weasel that took just the heads of her chickens and left the body. I have been told that it is the faint smell of a skunk that is the dead giveaway of a weasel. My problem is that we live in the country with skunks all around . My coops...
