Pedro

I've decided to tell my story of little Pedro since so many people at work have gotten a kick out of it. My boss and I were in a conference call in her office one day. Her office has floor to ceiling windows in it. All the sudden we hear this loud thump. We look outside and see a bird laid out on its back. I thought it was dead. But I couldn't help but laugh, and here she and I are laughing at this bird. Or at least trying to contain our laughter. But what was so funny was his little bird friend that was standing there looking over him. It's like I could just hear him saying in his little bird voice:
"Get up little buddy!"
"Breathe Pedro breathe!"
"Run away from the light!!!"
And then all the sudden, as if he did run from the light, the bird pops up on it's little bird legs. Then he tries to walk and he stumbles a little to one side. And then to the next. And then to the other side again. He disappeared behind the bush, so I don't know if little Pedro made it or not. But his little friend never left his side.

Quackadoo

You know my friend Angie from a prior post where I was admiring her sweatshirt with the duck on it. Lovely row of lace around the collar, big ol' duck sewn on the front. Real special shirt.... Anyway, that's how I came about her nickname of Quackadoo. Well, she strikes again!

Apparently, she was "cleaning her closet out" and found this treasure, circa 1989:

I'm thinking lots of things when I see this:

1. Joseph's coat of many colors

2. I had a prom dress in 1992 made of the same material

3. She could balance a 6 pack of Sundrops on those shoulder pads

4. Tim let her out of the house with that?

5. Bless her....

And then she goes back out to her vehicle and comes in with these lovely capris, circa last year:

And once again:

1. I think I saw someone wearing a pair of those last week

2. I think Martha Stewart is going to be pissed off you turned her tablecloth into capris

3. And again, Tim let you out of the house with those?

4. Hey, I think the duck sweatshirt would go great with those

Quackadoo makes me smile...she can laugh at herself while everyone else is laughing too! Thanks for making me smile!
