No I can't.
My internet was out for a couple days. PM me for a funny story.
Trent got Second place Senior Buck out of 7 American Sable Senior bucks.
Which is great as he's from the first litter of rabbits I've ever had.
congrats on a good showing for Trent!
aubrey, i ordered 25 chicks from ideal so I wouldn't get any males for warmth and have to deal with that. But I did order in Sept so I think they probably wouldn't have added any at that time of year anyway since it was still warm. I bet at this time of year you will probably get the extras. I guess you'll find out soon!
sunny, good to know that the memories of my homemade costumes will be fond! I have hope! She did like it but fussed about it falling off her head, etc. That dementor costume sounds cool! love harry potter. My kids call him "harry pasta" because laila came up with that little joke all on her own when she was 2. They haven't seen the movies or read the books yet, of course, but they've heard jose and i talking about it.
Cute story! Yes my son is one of the die-hard HP fans from when they first came out. He's always been a huge book fan but these were the first books that we ever had to stand in line for hours to get! Yes he's one of those. Luckily Barnes and Noble had a different system for their first shipments since most of the fans (at that time) were kids and they couldn't be camping out. They had us line up the day before the book release and the first 100 fans got a wrist strap and once you had that you were guaranteed your book from the first shipment which arrived at midnight the following night. Yes we let him go at midnight (with us, he was only 10) to pick it up but this wrist strap made the process much less painful! lol We still had to stand in line for about 5 & 1/2 hours though.
That first Halloween he went as Harry Potter but the next year he insisted on doing something really hard to pull of so he wouldn't be dressed like half the other kids on the block. I have to admit, the Dementor costume was a work of art but he was right, it was not the easiest thing to wear. Oh how I miss the days of the Teddy Bear and flower (his sister's) costumes. I should have saved them all and they give me a very hard time for not doing so but when I put that much time into a costume I like to see it being used every year so I usually sold them after Halloween to friends that asked for them. I really loved designing costumes. I should have done it for a living but my back won't let me get too carried away these days.
OK! Just got some good new about the Poultry Show. Peter Ovalle just sent me this email.
