Good Day After all!

Well I took care of Mom & got the lock's professionally installed & her doors re-aligned & all keyed for 1 key...I feel alot better about her safety now at home. Or as good as it can get with her living in another town 4 hours away!
Reg came home early...YYYEEEAAAHHH & we actually caught an hour nap. Then he washed my 4 runner aka Rocky & his Jeep(how nice to have a clean, sparkeling car).I took care of all the 'Babies' & tucked 'em all in & then Reg and I decided to have grilled Salmon, a BIG salad & wild rice for Supper & now we are unwinding & laughing at King of Queens(reruns of course); we have a special spot in our hearts for the Father part that Jerry Stiller plays because when my Dad is here it's just that! Except of course he stays in a fully furnished 1100sq ft guest house w/kitchen & not a basement!!! But it is just so much fun just to be able to have a gut wrenching laugh at all the Parallels. I think I have always been their 'Rock' even though I'm the baby. And Reg is so AWESOME I just want to go Hug him....Think I will.
Sweet Dreams to all.

My Mom's Break-in!

My Mom calls yesterday about 4:00PM( it was her day off;yep she is 73 & still working Full-time!). She lives at the NC coast & moved there to get to the Beach & quality of life. Well she never gets to really enjoy it because she works FT & does yard work & lives alone. Anyway , at first she walks in from a brief trip out to find her house all messed up & a tire iron on her bedroom dresser & the back door was wide open!! At first before she saw the tire iron & open door she thought the cats had had a 'knock down drag-out'. Anyway all her jewelry is gone including 3 St Croix bracelets from Sonya,Ltd & jewelry that my Grandma had left her and one of her cats was gone! After I calmed her down she called the Police (Ha!)& they take the tire iron for evidence (joke)! Now I hate to say this but this has always been one of the 'last bastions' of what we consider a more laid back,untouched,more old timey beach & a very innocent middle class populous overall . Well all the recent construction & upgrading (everyone has to have at least 4 or 5 bathrooms now???) it has brought in a lot of 'illegals' that no one does anything about but 'politicize' ! They say they don't have 'jail space' for them!!!!Who wants them in jail for gosh sakes?? Put them on a bus,train,plane & send them back to the country that they belong in!
Now anyone that is here legally, more power to them(My Sister in law came from Davo,Phillipines 4yrs ago,legally) ! but I am sick to death of all the excuses & rise in crime.My Mom is devasted but I told her I will call & take care of having heavy duty,key only dead bolt's installed & also this is the 1st time she hasn't had a Dog in yrs, so a Dog is in her future, along w/fencing her backyard(small thank God) for the Dog.
Off to call the Locksmith!!

Blame Placement!

Okay, I'm finally back after months of cleaning 'Crap' out of house & making runs to Goodwill. And although I'm only about half way through ;you collect alot of stuff when you don't move for 19yrs although I have been told that if I don't have it you don't need it ! Bring your own now because I may not have it now:)!! Anyhow I am for a lack of a better term quite the 'clothes whore' & I mean nice stuff & we live in a house built in 1974 with barely any closet space so I have back bedroom that has become totally unusable because it is piled high & deep in clothes.....I am so sick of it...AAAHHHH!! As Reg always says I brought every piece through the back door;scary thought because it's alot harder taking it out!
Now I would like to give everyone a taste of our Maroon Bellied Conure, Boscoe's sense of humour & intelligence. What really makes this funny is that Reg has a thing he does that somone else always 'did it' even if they haven't been here for weeks!!!I was cleaning Boscoe's cage & He has a ton of toys . One of his favorite is actually I think a cat toy, it is a little yellow ball w/a bell in it and it is perforated so he can throw it around ;big fun for a Parrot I guess :) !! Well I was cleaning his cage & took the ball out so I could change his paper & I put it on top of his cage while I was working ,he proceeds to climb up & toss it off into the nearby garbage can while I had my back turned. I jokingly said "who threw this in the garbage? " He says very promptly "Millie did it",I almost fell over laughing because it sounded just like Reg! And by the way Millie is the cat!He can just come up with one liners like that & he actually knows when to apply them; just ask Reg what Boscoe does when a 'Victoria Secret' Commercial comes on TV!!
