That's cool.  We had a Quakerkeet when the kids were little and you can imagine what I would catch them trying to teach that bird, lol.

I've been in the land of the dead since Monday evening.  I had to stay at work the floor on 3-11 because a nurse called in with diarrhea and I came down with it during the shift.  Tuesday morning I had 103.5 temp. and felt horrible.  Val had to drive me to the doc's office.  I wasn't going to mess around this time after the gallbladder thing.  Anyway, it's not the flu.  Either a stomach virus or food poisoning.  They gave me a shot of nubain and phenergan.  It made me sleep all day which was a blessing.  That was the most painful shot though.  I'm down 7 lbs from fluid loss so today I am going to work on rehydrating myself.  I'm feeling worlds better though, just still weak and tired.  Tuesday afternoon my mother-in-law passed away.  Everybody was there except for me.  I really hate that I wasn't there to say goodbye.  I'm glad she is no longer in pain though.  She had wasted down to 68 lbs. 

My wonderful sweet and precious husband bought me a new baby today.  Got a 5 year old umbrella ****atoo that talks, sings and dances. She is sooo sweet, big ole girl, but cute so its ok.

We have had birds almost the whole time we have been together, so to have a new fur baby that is big and sweet.  God I love her. On the way home, she kept saying, "I love youuuuu"
Made her worth all her money!!
Will try to post pics when I get my  camera software loaded.

Hugs to all,

Mr Steve, I'm sorry sorry something has a hold of you that is causing troubles. As long as the family is okay, and YOU'RE okay, then, we're okay.

Keep us posted and just don't forget us!

If there's ever anything I can do, let me know. Maybe a cuppa  Buck's is in order soon?

Woweeeeee!  What a great time you've had this summer. I'd love to go to NASA, and I'm sure Gary would really like to go. He's such a history geek.

Glad to see you back and at it again. Good thing vacations are short, huh?

MMMMM, Mexican food twice a day. My idea of heaven
