Great videos, Jill and Penny!

Here are some screen caps of the whooping crane chicks enjoying the wet pen this afternoon. One chick is hanging around the fake hanging role model, which is placed there to show the chicks where to roost.

The final picture shows two adults flying in the background outside the pen. I was able to hear them unison calling.

Just a quick fly-by this am, outside appts today, thanks for the Update Cheryl.

And Hi to Penny, I've missed your quirky site postings!

Thanks for the updates Carole and Cheryl, nice reading with my morning coffee.

And I did know that about handbags, instead of putting on the floor I wrap it twice around the coat hook (so no one can reach over the door and grab it). I know some toilets dont have them, thens its a balance act on my knee.... LOL

Safe flight for Topa's family!


:soar:

Well, what a day. THEY MISSED THEIR PLANE!!!!!!

Not our fault, we always drive the coast to the airport to AVOID traffic. Today a bus hit an electical pole and knocked it down. They were rerouting traffic over the Palasades. We were actually at the gate with all the luggage and 4 kids, 45 minutes before take off..AMAZING, but because it was international they closed down the baggage check. :o

So we got them a room at the Radassin Hotel right around the corner from their departure gate.
Really a nice hotel, double beds and two cribs for only $100 tonight. I was afraid it would cost a lot more, and the little ones where excited to stay in the hotel.. :D
Their veiw was South West Airlines landing stip..WHOO HOO for the kids!!!


We booked in and relaxed for a little while and drove to LA for lunch and take out dinner for them tonight.

So I got an extra day with them.. :D

I'm sad but it was a great visit and hopefully we will see them again very soon.

Oh, The airlines didn't charge them anything to rebook the same flight for tomorrow.
That was super nice of them. Hopefully they will not have any problems tomorrow.
It's going to take me a week to recoup.

BBL :}^ You're all so nice. <3

Do any of you have one of these? http://www.tersano.com/index.php I'm thinking about getting one as a friend has one & thinks it's a great thing! (she got hers on amazon) It sounds like a really good idea if it really does get rid of the pesticides on fruits & veggies.

and ED's should be home now after a visit with their grandkids and family how nice for everyone

Actually we got home tonight around 6:30 PM. It was a wonderful trip. It was hard to leave and come home. Our son said Layla was really bummed when Grandma and Grandpa didn't pick her up from daycare after school.

The plate we won in the NAC came while we were gone and was saved for us by our neighbor. It is beautiful.
