Running late as usual. Anyone?

I hope you had a good trip. I went to Dixon this afternoon to shop at Super Walmart there. I did not see your post until after you left for Dixon. It seems like my subscription emails were messed up today.

There is a Petes Coffee in Davis. Maybe we could have a meet up there during one of your trips? Others in the area intersted?

do you have a picture of the blue ameraucana roo, maybe someone can bring him down to Fresno for the show. I have a blue and a black pullets that need an unrelated roo.

LOL That's Ok. Thank you!

I'm driving out to Davis soon and have a blue AM roo with some gold bleeding through his hackles, my blue OE roo Lil Jovi, 2 bantam GLCochin pullets and I little bantam roo who is either a Wellie or a OEGB. Then 3 Olive Eggers I hatched out yesterday and friday. If anyone wants one of them and can get back to me before 2:30, I can take them that far. I'm going to Travis AFB and to Dixon to the Sac Valley Memorial Cemetery. I don't know either of those areas, so I can meet someone at the gate at the base or at the cemetery or the little fruit and flower stand on the other side of the freeway. Hope someone sees this and would like a pretty bird.

Going out to take Bill a birthday balloon and some flowers. Oh and probably a peanut butter cup. That man and his chocolate! We still take them to him. LOL

I could do that.

I'm also looking for someone in the area, who shows, and knows how to properly and humanely trim spurs & (overgrown) beaks.

I'll try and get a pick of his today. He's a pain but didn't use to be when we carried him around all the time. I do put him up at night and like today, he's not out yet. He's my lead crower.

So my trip was kind of crazy. I also had to just keep going due to slow traffic in spots, so I was also at Walmart. I had to grab flowers. The sun was almost down and that's when they close the cemetery. I was rushing like Charlton Heston in the Omega Man to beat the sun. LOL We got there and there was a whole 3 other people there getting ready to leave. Walmart had no birthday balloons at all. The store I usually go to was closed, so I figured I'd just stop there a get one. Nope. But he has a Valentine balloon at least. I had wanted to get both. I left him his Reese's too. I forgot I had taken the scissors and clippers out of the trunk and had to break off stems. I've never been able to break those clean or quick, but I sure did yesterday. We always leave a flag out and Makayla wasn't there, so I had to remember to grab one of those out. It was dreary out there last night. Dakotah said he was creeped out. It was a little weird. I've never been there and felt that way. Plus they had watered and it was soggy.

When I started the car to leave the radio was on and "Free Falling" Came one, so since no one was out there I turned it up. Dakotah got on my, but I told him if I woke everyone up, That was fine. They're all missed and could go home. We always drive in to where the POW flags are and circle and man has that place grown. They have more drives through there now. Bill is in section 3 and I think they are on section 12? now. All that in 18 months. Amazing and sad. We got to the gate and some funky song came on and Dakotah changed the station and the song I used to use as a ring tone for when Bill called came on. I guess he knew I was there, cause after that and all the way home after we left Travis, his songs and songs that reminded me of him played almost the whole way home.

The Exchange has really changed. I'm trying to figure out where a whole section went. It's the same through the main mall hall where all the small shops are, but inside the Exchange itself there's a whole room missing where the furniture used to be and new patched drywall. Hope they didn't seal up the customers they didn't like. That place is usually so clean and they had carts everywhere, so I guess they're moving things around. For some reason it seems like they just didn't have as much stuff as they used to in some departments and a whole lot more in other sections. We were supposed to go buy a new TV the day Bill died. I went to just look at them, cause that's what I always do, but I've never been able to buy one. Especially not the oe he wanted. OUCH! But I ended up watching the end of "Unstoppable" while I was there. Man my TV is a dinosaur! LOL I could actually see faces and the wheels on the train and everything. ha ha Took the long way home through Sac since I can't see out on the shorter road and we got home just before midnight. I bought myself 2 resents. A car of compressed gas to clean my laptop and drill bits! LOL Yeah I'm easy.

I love how Bill says "Hi" to you with music. That is sooo cool!

So do I. Always right on time too, not later on when it wouldn't mean as much. I hadn't hard some of those songs is months. But "Free Falling" does play alot. It's one of Makayla's favorites too, so we always had to blast it for her. She sings it at the top of her lungs. LOL But it got followed by way to many, plus Dakotah and I saw 3 jumpers coming in at the drop zone on our way out there. Looks like I have to go back soon too. All the grandkids saw his new shoes he got at the exchange and they all want to go get some. Maybe I'll even beat the sun when we go. I've never gotten there that late. I've left that late, but I'm surprised we got in.

 

[SunnyDawn]

Yeah it sounds like you were almost too late to get in!

OK Pam and Sarah, I have to ask, how bad is this Polish addiction going to get? First we got Polish lined up from Pam for Hubby and now we are getting some others as well. DH just loves these "mop heads" as he calls them. I fear since I keep hearing how sweet they are that he is just gonna go nuts over them when they get here.

This must be my pay back for not letting him have cats.

Some? 25 is not "some"! LOL Of course you'll want a variety of color so that some will turn into "some"thing else! Oh, and YES, it's bad.....welcome.

Step away from the Polish!!! It's a very bad addiction! I started out with a pair and now I have polish overload! I just started a Facebook page called Heavenly Feathered Farms. I have pics of my little family.
