Spring Granny Square Swap

[rancher hicks]

I did see that cute Lil' duckling in the back. I love baby pics no matter what they are. What all kinds of breeds do you think hatched out? We got our first ducklings last spring. 3 Pekins. They have been a real joy. Do you need EE to hatch? I have EE & Ameraucanas.

No I have plenty EE's eggs. I have a Lav. Amer roo for the father. BUT they are in with some Orp roos too. But I had a broody and she said she had eggs to stick under her. I'm working on two new coops. These eggs were given to me by a friend. I don't know how she mixed them up.

Well everyone, I am off tomorrow morning. We received a call at 2 am this morning that Loveda had passed and DH decided he wanted to go to the funeral which is Thursday. Plane fares were out of sight for such short notice and we'd have to rent a car so we decided to drive. The weather is supposed to be good and even with gas prices like they are it would be a third of the cost of flying. It will give us a bit of flexability to maybe see his children and grandchildren also. We will make a quick return home since he has to be at work on Sunday. will let you all know when I am home again.

Wow that is a fast trip. I hope you get to see the kids and grandkids while you are there. It is so nice to have family around for support at times like these! *hugs* and wishes for an easy, uneventful ride there and back. So sorry for you and your husband's loss.

Good Morning All.
I have a 'strange' request and I hope that nobody will mind.
Have any of you 'met' the BYC member called Nambroth? She has a silly little chicken named Derperella and she's been posting pictures and wonderful little stories since Derp hatched. After a while there were so many folks following the thread and asking for 'Derp Memorabilia' that she put some post cards, mugs, t-shirts, etc out on Zazzle.
My Mom has lung cancer and although she's doing 'ok' for now, she almost never leaves the house because of the O2 and such. When I stumbled across the Derp thread, I called Mom and read it to her (she doesn't have internet). She LOVED it and now asks me almost every day, "What's my little Derpie' up to today.
So - here's the request. I bought some of the Derp post cards a little while ago and I think that my Mom would get a real kick out of receiving cards from Derp sent from all over the country. I checked with Betty last week and she said that she would be willing to help out. What I was hoping is that I could send the filled-out/stamped/addressed cards in with my squares and, if anyone was interested in doing it, Betty would include 1 with the squares being returned to you. All you would have to do is drop it in the mail so it gets a post mark for someplace 'far away'. If you would be willing to do this - could you send me a PM? I'll stick a sticky note with your user name on a card so all Betty has to do is add it to your pile of squares heading back out.
I intend to deny any knowledge of it (to Mom) and just let her have a giggle over this silly chicken sending her cards from all over.

I'm in if it is okay with Betty. I think its a wonderful idea.

Hey everybody~

Just checking in for my daily dose of crochet chat. I made a fire in the fireplace and DH helped me keep it burning until bed time. I'm sure our days are numbered to enjoy them since spring is around the corner. It was so nice & cozy. I FINALLY got to do a little crocheting by the nice cozy fire after dinner clean up. I have 12 complete and a few more centers started.

Betty~ I hope you have safe travels. Thinking of you & your family at this time.

Rancher~ You sound sooooo busy between all your hatches (incubator & broody), taking care of baby chicks & building coops. Keep the baby peeps pics coming. I just thought I'd offer the EE eggs since you were so kind to offer me some Dels. I mainly have EE & Am. 2 blue Am roos. I do have a mistake Cuckoo Maran cockerel running around w/ the mixed flock at this time. I need to find a home for him. He's a big pain in the butt.

Canesisters~ What a wonderful idea! I love it and wouldn't mind sending one out at all.

Let me see if I read this correctly???? So the post cards will already be filled out w/ a Derp story and all we have to do is drop them in the mail? It reminds me of Flat Stanley. Love it!!!!
Sunny~ How's your new coops coming along. I want to see more pics of your baby peeps please.

Writer~ How's that broody hatch coming along? Pics please!!!!

Just wanted to stop by for a quick hello. Too busy during the day to crochet, but hope to fit some more in tonight after dinner.
Happy Monday....

That's it exactly Smitty. If you opened your pack of return squares at the mailbox (whick I will probably do!), you could pop it right back into the mailbox. It'll be all ready to go.
