Still knowing that, pets are a wonderful way for kids to learn about responsibility and unconditional love. Unless it's a people hating, attack parakeet named Birdzilla who resides in my kitchen hanging from a hook! <BR/><BR/>God has used him to teach me a few simple object lessons over the years!Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-67199860161642869132007-03-01T23:43:00.000-09:002007-03-01T23:43:00.000-09:00Well that is the best reason I have heard to like ...Well that is the best reason I have heard to like cold weather---fish!<BR/><BR/>I hope you all don't get too stormy down there.

Everyone grumbled ('cause for SE, 20 degrees is cold) and I smiled. haha People at work think I'm nuts. We've warmed up today, to just above freezing and now it is snowing. We're in the middle of a winter storm warning and they're saying we could get as much as 14 inches by tomorrow. That means I'll probably be in snow all week in Sitka, too. But, the fishermen are happy. It should be a good herring season for them with all this snow!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092696049502701851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-43369626922876979922007-03-01T13:16:00.000-09:002007-03-01T13:16:00.000-09:00lol, you are so lucky to be a "sissy", lol I thin...lol, you are so lucky to be a "sissy", lol I think it is so nice that you can sleep with your window open. Right now the wind is howling and the temps are still cold so it is critical to be sure to have the proper clothing if you go anywhere. I think we would freeze dry in a matter of hours if left outdoors right now.<BR/><BR/>My daughter Kim just called to tell me that they went home (they were here visiting all morning) and the cat they took home from Tony's Gramma, the one that just passed away, died. Poor ol' Milo. Kim was telling me about him and how he seemed to be acting sick. He is over ten years old. I think he missed Lela because he just never seemed to be at home with all the kids. Anyawy, my poor grandchildren, I could hear them crying so hard over this. Poor babes. They haven't had the cat very long but they already loved him so much.Connie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823945953153064691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-82974326060856346742007-03-01T03:53:00.000-09:002007-03-01T03:53:00.000-09:00I probably shouldn't "brag" but it's been really n...I probably shouldn't "brag" but it's been really nice down here. We've had the windows open for over a week now, even overnight. I enjoy this time because we usually have to run the A/C in April, we don't get much of a Spring.<BR/><BR/>I was remembering something from the book, "Ada Blackjack" (which is how I found out about you, remember?) In it they spoke of how she came down with ACTIC HYSTERIA<BR/>and how that affected her. I had never heard of that before but it made sense. It's hard to understand because of where I have always lived. <BR/><BR/>When we first moved down here from Colorado, we made fun of people who bundled up when the temps "dropped" down into the 50's. After 14 years, I too have become a sissy just like them! Ha Ha!<BR/>ConnieConstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.com
