I saw an incubator like that once at a yard sale! Glass top, nice wood, almost looked like mahogany! An oldie, sold by Sears. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it for 75 bucks!! This has been years ago, and I didn't even have chickens at the time. It would've been in the back of my truck sooooooo quick these days!

Thanks Vicki. My friends all invite me over, but I always feel like a fifth wheel. They have a passle of kids too, and they wear me out in no time!

Son said he'd get back here in Feb. after income tax return comes in. Come 2015, he's thinking he will move back here, so there's hope yet!

That's awesome!! I hope he does move back so you guys can spend time together! I think it would be hard to feel like a 5th wheel here...its more like chaos and hilarity non stop. Oh...and naps! for some reason everyone always falls asleep at some point..probably all the kids wearing us out

That's how it is with my best friends family. They have a HUGE family. The first family function of hers that I went to, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was like 300 people, and they were all family!!

Lots of good food, music, and joke/story tellin'. The buffet tables are large, overturned livestock tanks for Easter and summer events. I come from a pitifully small family, and this was truly a shock to me!

Lisa ~ I posted a pic of some funky, crooked toes on the SOP thread. Blue Butt had toes like this when he was young too, so I'm thinking genes are at play here. Gees, lucky me, I seem to get it all!
