Any chance you are passing Snohomish/Everett? I would love one of your Russian Orloffs or 2.... They are my BF's favorite! And considering so I think they are the ONLY bird I can get away with bringing home lol!

Oh did I mention they are CUTE!?? LOL I also have some wonderful little Crevecoeur and a little GLC chick, too.

No, we're going through Yakima on the way down to drop off my Borzoi.

Otherwise, I'd make you a heck of a deal on three of them!

If you're able to make it down to that area this week or early next week, maybe we can meet up? I really need them gone as I'm picking up another pair (adults) on my way home and as soon as they are out of quarantine I'll need the room!

I am going to be in moses lake til Sunday or Monday BF is driving the motorhome over there so I won't have a car to even try and meet up

Well..... maybe I can convince him into a road trip up your way

Got some serious snot on the brain!! '

'

Had to take my daughters shopping for swimsuits (bikinis!)! UGH!!!! '

' I am not ready for them to become the beautiful young women they are!! We leave for Mexico next Wednesday and I think I will just keep them in their turtlenecks and hoodies!!

So my happy place is left to the Walduck Astoria. I'm glad I have runners! Their breasts stay small!!!!!! '

' Getting my ducks has been one of the best things that I have done in a long time! They are so funny and you can't help but smile when you watch them!

They came out today while I had the sprinkler on and ran around flapping their wings like 2 year olds playing in it!! I just love the different noise\\quacks that they make when they are having a blast! It makes everyone laugh!

Well I'm off to hopefully burn the images of my twins in bikinis out of my eyes with acid! '

'

Hope everyone is having a great week with NO rain!!!! '

I feel your pain! I have 14 and 16 year old daughters and I don't like it one little bit! I've got them in 4-H Rifle Shooting and Taekwondo so I know they can defend themselves. And if they don't, well I can shoot and I'm in TKD too!

Well, I have 2 teenage boys. I used to joke that 2 of mine were someone else's problem (sorry)...I figured teenage boys I would have it easy. Girls are agressive nowadays. Phone calls, etc. I don't let my boys out of my sight hardly. One is in swim team and is really-really good. He is all muscley and wears a tight speedo for competition. I want all the girls to go away when he (and the other boys) are competeing. It scares the day lights out of me.

These days I don't think anyone has it easy raising kids. I've tried keeping mine in a bubble but they keep getting out!

Fortunately our girls are pretty level headed and don't do the boy crazy thing. They'd better not start either, I have a pretty mean roundhouse kick!

 

[T Hi]

My twins are 15 &1\\2. Luckly they also are very level headed and good smart girls. Very mind set on education! '

'

Who the heck designs these darn suits anyway!!! I swear the boys design the girls and the girls design the boys!!! '

'

Thank goodness they are never to far from me at home or in Mexico!! My whole family will be there! Their Grandpa is a very scary man when his girls are getting hassled! I come from a family of nothing but females! He had 5 daughters!! He has used chainsaws and anything else that he can get his hands on to chase them boys off before! '

We did fairly well with keeping the boys away until DD went to college at the age of 16. It was going fairly well until she volunteered to tutor a guy that was twice her age who was still having a lot of trouble with reading and writing. She thought she could fix him

I wish she would have listened to me. He did wait until she was 18 to make his big move on her.

She was going to be a civil engineer. He is still swapping things and fixing cars to survive. I had so much fun with her as a teenager. I should have known that it couldn't last. Finally the DD is settling down. She has been married now for almost 2 years, and finally graduated from the UofW. There were times I didn't think it would ever happen. There are still moments that she scares me with her behavior, so I still have to to pray that she will hold it together.

And then there is "The Boy". He became close friends with a gal that is 5 years older than he is. They started talking on the phone when he was just barely 16. There were a few phone bills I wasn't sure he was going survive. By the time he was 17 they were sleeping with the phones to their ears. I only stayed sane with all this because she lived in Vancouver WA, and we are 153 miles north of there. They got married about 6 months after he turned 18. I have to say that 4.5 years later, that The Boy is still deeply in love with his wife. He has impressed a lot of people with how well he has handle the fact that his wife has a very aggressive progressive form of MS. They didn't know it when they got married, but I have seen that they are much stronger than I would have thought. I love them both, and I am very proud of them.

I have learned that you just don't know what the future holds. That as a parent you are only allowed such a short time to prepare your children for adulthood. The best you can do is give your kids all the tools that you can, and hope for the best. I look back, and 18 years is so little time to teach them everything that they need to know.

It is a lot of fun to have the house to myself and not have to worry about cooking dinner for the the kids. Oh and the kids bedrooms made a great sewing room and office.
