Dec. 8th, 2009 01:59 pmTo Be 6 Again...
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.
'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror .
On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again?'
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
'I meant my dress size, Einstein!!!!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.

Dec. 8th, 2009 11:33 pmWith a bit of wheeling and dealing, I've managed to sell two adolescent Khaki Campbell ducks with two free Black Copper Marans cockerels thrown in as a bonus. Yes, I could have sold them to her, but they were freebies to me and I like the energy of freebie-ing them to a welcoming home. MarkliAnn will be delivering them in person on Saturday.
Two less ducks and 2 less cockerels will help bring down the feed bill. Not a lot on a weekly basis, but should really add up in savings monthly.
This will bring me down to 3 pullets (females) and 3 cockerels (males) Black Copper Marans. Which is really great, as I have hopefully arranged for one pair to go with MarkliAnn's family to their Oregon farm to start their own BCM breeding program and the other to go to Louise, who will attempt to breed them across Penn Cove from me.
I love knowing I'm helping facilitate three breeding programs!
