A saw a flock of cranes this morning!! They looked terribly confused, returning in the middle of Danish winter. [emoji33][emoji33]
Did the Cranes stay? I think my tortoise tells the truth about spring...but it has been a different year. The cranes didn't expect snow. The US is warmer this year in the somewhat northern areas but the southern States are getting my snow and ice. Maybe the Cranes just need a bit of extra help until the temps warm up. In my state, we've had to help Robins that needed a bite to eat and some warmth until mother earth decided to cooperate.

When I find a decaf that I can brew from beans: 1. That have become decaf by natural ways like water and 2. From a type that tastes good...I'll have my morning cup and use decaf. I'll still look like that elderly deer though...
Elderly deer? Did I miss something? AZTortmom posted a picture of a hairless dog with frizzy ears!

I guess I had deer meat in my brain thinking about veggie soup made with venison. And you have to admit the hairless looks like a little dear. Hoping you had great fun with your visitors...thank you for taking a moment but spending it on me.

LOL! Glad I'm not losing my marbles.

My visitor came and spent an hour or so with me. Come to find out, he's someone I helped with a water turtle years ago when I used to belong to the YahooGroups. So he's known me a long time. He's also a member here, but only reads, doesn't post. He seemed to enjoy his visit, and appreciated seeing all my tortoises. We had a nice visit.

Im glad you had a peaceful day. You deserve it. As far as marbles go...I have 0 left...its too bad he doesn't post...since he's an older friend and turtle owner I'm sure he's seen something worth looking at..

Good mornooning everyone.

This is a “see ya laters post” as I really must knuckle under and get stuff done for the trade show. I will try to pop in occasionally to dust and polish Montgomery as he does like the attention, but will have to behave myself and not spend too much time on the interweb for the next three weeks.

Have fun!

Actually, wifey carved Mr Santa on the left AND painted the eyes in...hmmm. I saw a new look for a snowman in an old wood carving magazine that I had squirreled away. Might try doing one of these guys next. Not as symmetrical...but the same idea. Taller floppy hat, long scarf, pointy carrot nose.

Your wifey is great carver too! [emoji54]
Good for you to squirrel away useful things. For me it would be nuts.... [emoji23]

Daughter got her drivers license today.. I’m so proud of her but now I’ll be a nervous wreck until I’m more confident in her driving abilities [emoji51]

Congratulations!!! She’ll be a great driver, I’m sure. (Better than myself at any rate.)


It’s a big car to drive. Though it’s probably about average in Texas [emoji23]
