IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WROTE ANYTHING??

Wow - over a year - didn't realize it had been that long - AND now AOL is closing it's blog down - I will let THEM move this one to another site.  I wouldn't know how to begin.

Gosh - so much has happened in a year.  Ryan just turned 27 in August and I just turned 60 last month and let me tell you 60 SUCKS!

I lost Coconut - I had to have her euthanized - it broke my heart.  I miss her so much. She was an egg layer and her cloaca(sp) collapsed.  So sad - I cried all the way to the vet's with her and all the way back to work.

I lost Sam - my Amazon parrot - I had to have him euthanzied - he was 55 years old.  It broke my heart - I miss him so much.  The vet said he had either had a stroke or had a brain tumor.  He was pitiful - scared and confused.  The vet said I made the right decision to put him down - it didn't make it any easier.  I need to put Rainy in Sam's cage, but so far I haven't been able to bring myself to do it - his cage is exactly like it was the day he died. 

Still working - still tired - still hanging in there.

Thanks for visiting - and

Peace
