Overtaxed; saw some gold finches today we have finch feeder tube on the front porch.

Today there was what looked like a canary convention in the feeder here--wonder if yellow birds come out now or something?

[Fedora]

Still need some flowers....and more potses.

Potses would be Smeagolian pots, right? :)

[HairOfTheDog]

Gold Finches are Washington's state bird, and I have never seen one! - I don't think they live here!

[Fedora]

Do I get my own fountainpen, then? I'd like an invisible pen, please--that way I can use invisible ink, and when I make a mistake and use liquid paper no one will notice.

[HairOfTheDog]

Thank you! It is so lush out there right now, I love spring, everything is its greenest.

[Fedora]

It's lush like that here, too--especially after the rain comes down, like it did last night. I love spring storms partly for that reason :)

dude... you shouldn't give me opportunities like this...

Ya missed it bro, I was settin yuh up. Read the next line...

[Corin Stormhands]

Evenin' folks. We are back from a long day of travels and family ordeals.

It was a very nice and fitting tribute to the uncle. He was a Korean War Vet. Didn't have an "official" unit, but had the "county honor guard?" Don't know exactly who they were, but they did a nice job. His son is a music teacher so he had arranged bagpipes and a trumpet (for taps) at the gravesite.

We sang and did okay. A bluegrass quartet from the church sang a couple of original songs. One was about crossing the Jordan River. Don't remember the exact phrasing, but it was something like "when you're coming through the Jordan I'll wade out into the shallow waters to meet you..." Mucho tears in the house.

Afterwards wife's siblings and assorted spouses took Nana out for a combined birthday/Mother's day dinner.

It's after midnight and we've only been home about a half hour. I'm off to check my eBay stuff and then get some sleep.

See y'all tomorrow.

[Fedora]

Have a good one! I'm fixin' to log off, too, then--g'night, all!

[Alkhin]

anyone still here? Or did they all go to bed???

[HairOfTheDog]

I am still here.... but headed to bed soon. Was just catching up on the thread here, or tryin' too.

[Alkhin]

Man, I gotta find a way to get in here sooner than 11 pm.

nitey nite!

Well, my Dad's kitty number 6 was put down today... They tried and lost. He never regained his appetite after that stomach surgery. They were only ever to force-feed him tablespoons at a time of food. The vet really tried everything, steriods, vitamins, to kick start him again, but he was just starving to death. He was a really old cat and they did more than most would have. Sometimes, the body shuts down no matter what we try.

I did manage to take a few pics of him last weekend. We didn't have many!

Hello all!

I am just letting you all know that I and two men from my church are going on a Mission trip to Ghana. I am leaving this morning for St.Louis. I will be back, Lord willing, on the 22nd of May.

Ya'll take care, ok!? :D

We were sorry to read of the passing of kitty number 6; our heartfelt condolences to your Dad. Pets truly do leave pawprints on your heart. Dan and Sue

Come back and tell us all about this!

[HairOfTheDog]

Yep. He loved the kitty... But it isn't a sad thing really, that a cat lived as long as this one did.... he was in his upper teens.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Sorry to hear about kitty #6... he was a handsome cat!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Going back to bed now...
