Talking Birds, iPods, Sinus Colds and a Lot of YIPPEE's

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Between "stress" from the trip back to NY to this stupid sinus cold, I have been down right misserable. The plane rides were awsome. I wish poor Sam could say the same. She was scared half to death. And the "What to do in case of an emerency" booklet that was sitting on the seats didn't help that fear at all. The funeral was emotional, they always are. But it feels good to let it out once in a while. It was definetly felt good to see all my friends at church. I was able to show the worship team some of my guitar playing before service. They told me too prepare for the team when I get back. YIPEE! When we got back to "home sweet home" I found an iPod sitting under my pillow. Another YIPEE! I woke up the next morning to find snot all over my pillow and a frog in my throat. Sinus cold. YIPEE. Some of you may remember Rio the vampire of a bird that we got last year. Well Mr. Buddy has a cockatiel Lucy who was lonely. We gladly handed over Dracula to be a life-long partner with Lucy. Mr. Buddy got a box and Lucy layed eggs but they never hatched. HE tried again so we could have one of the babies but it failed. A good friend of ours has a bird, ZaZa. Well ZaZa was making to much noise so Donna got another bird to shut her up. ZaZa beat up the other bird so with some persuasion and a dramatic "yes" later we own a bird named ZaZa. ZaZa says her name, ZaZa says "Pretty Girl", "I love You", ZaZa laughs and whistles and is much friendlier that Dracula. So my 4th and final, YIPEE!
