Ethan and Morgan are celebrating their 10th and 6th birthdays this week.  Hard to believe!  Ethan is in 5th grade and taking Kung Fu.  Morgan is in 1st grade and taking Hula.  She is also doing Drama Club.

We went to visit the Bird-guy last week and he had a Sun Conure with a disability.  She had chewed her digits off one foot when she got tangled in a chewed up rope toy.  He commented that he would have to sell her very cheap, and I jumped on that bus in a hurry!  So, for an early birthday present, Johnnie bought me Coconut.  She still has her baby coloring, Fully grown, she will be very bright yellow, orange, green, and blue.  Ok, we call her she, but there is no way to know other than DNA testing.  We are having so much fun working with her.  Freedom has come around rather quickly, Rexi's nose is out of joint.  It doesn't help that they were the resident Dove catchers.  Yes, the Doves fly right in the house through the back door all the time.  No, we can't close the back door, due to the heat. No, there is no way to add a screen door since the door opens out.  Anyway, Rexi is having a hard time not "catching" Coconut when she flutters around. 

I still hate my house, but we all like going to the beach.  Unfortunately, the beach visits are not often enough to make me forget my house woes.  John's business is going well. We still don't know what we will do when we finish here.  He may stay in three more years and go to DC.  He may get out and take a job on the east coast until we can get his business well-established. 

I think that is it on this end for now...
Love
Kathy
