Good Freakin' chilly evening! LOL! I finally got home about 4:40 today. Turns out when I went to bring my car up to load my stuff it wouldnt start! Just a bit of a grr-rrr, then nothing! SO one of my friends was still there and she brought her truck over. We hooked up her jumper cables and let mine charge for a while--NOTHING! Same noise. the lights worked, the key ding ding ding was working, the wipers worked...I didnt know what was up. DH said he was sure that her cables were bad and that I should just go over to Walmart and buy a battery and a wrench to change it out...yeah, it's 12 degrees and I am in dress pants with a nice coat! Definitely NOT dressed for auto mechanic work! He was on his way to the Dells with DD20 and her BF for a week vacation. The other two are heading up after volleyball tonight. My friend had to go so I called DD26 to come and get me. She didnt have room for all my stuff in her car so I say let's just try your cables and see what happens. Meanwhile DS23 goes into the hotel and get s a hammer and a rubber mallet. He starts knocking on the starter (which I was not sure what to pound on so I didnt do it--I hate "new" cars!) before we can try to start it. Well, it pops right over and starts up...!!! So I believe that it was the starter stuck the whole time. (expert's opinions?) Loaded up the stuff and off I went! WHew! I had no idea how I was going to get my car with no one home all week...it's not like I have no place I need to be all week!
So I had the best birthday I ever had...so many wishes and texts/calls! We all went to lunch at Beres Bros coffee house and the whole restaurant sang to me! (then we sang to another patron)
SO fun! I also goe much scrapbooking done and caught up with my friends too.
So, you guys were busy here! I stayed caught up...didnt want to have so much to read tonight. MXM stopped in to visit on my birthday too! I see she didnt come and talk to you guys--LOL!
Great job on getting those IAB's into some shows ODrH. They are really neat looking birds for sure! BTW--the duck eggs are still doing well? Another week yet-or is it two?
Carol brought those eggs over and my broody went unbroody I believe! I had been pulling her off every day because I didnt want any chicks now...Then she had good eggs...I am thinking that they arent any good now though--it was pretty cold. Maybe I should throw them under the other hen that is sitting...she has hers and another hens and a ducks too!
Well guys, I am falling asleep here. I can sure say that I had not much sleep this weekend! I DID kinda watch the game; my BFF is a diehard and she even had to head back to the hotel right after dinner so she could "warm up the TV!" (we had troubles last time) SHe did enough screaming and cussing for all of BYC! So I did watch a bit...between working on pages of course!
