I have not been here since my Quaker Parrot, YMA, died several weeks back. Just have not felt like participating a lot. Plus there has been so much going on around here that I really have not had a lot of time.

Our roof was badly damaged by Hurricane Wilma 8 months back. Well, we finally got a new roof. It took the crazy roofer and his crew almost a week to finish the job but it is done. And, just in time. We had a real heavy rain today. Complete with flooding. Minor flooding in a low part of our house...our laundry room. No damage though. Thank goodness.

I've decided to breed Yma's parents again when the weather cools off. Probably in November or December. If I'm lucky there, I'll keep another baby and train her like we did Yma. We really miss that little bundle of green feathers. She brought us a lot of joy and we gave her a lot of love. We miss her terribly but, as they say, life goes on. If I do keep another one, I'll post photos, etc.

Just wanted to say hi to all and to thank you for your kind thoughts during my time of grief.

Tom

Hi. I'm Anna Belle. I'm new-- since May. I'm sorry to hear about your parrot. I have a quaker I'm real bonded with, and I can imagine how hard it must've been to lose yours. I'm glad you've decided to breed its' parents again, and I'll be interested to read your posts. Welcome back.

Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!
Well, like everyone else, I guess it would be formal to say "Welcome Back." There's a lot of bad weather going on down there, eh?

We were expecting bad weather this past weekend, and, of course, had an outdoor barbecue planned. As it turned out, it was bright and sunny with only a quick, light sprinkle for about 5 minutes. We simply turned over the cushions on the outdoor chairs and continued the festivities. Today, the Fourth, promises to be another beautiful, if hot, day. Unfortunately, I have to work. Aaaaargh!

Thanks for all your kind comments. We are looking forward to another Quaker around Christmas.....hopefully.
