Short Post

I'm popping into the blogosphere to let all my blogging buddies know that I am doing well. I'm currently busy reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini, I'm almost done. I'm hosting my book club this Thursday night, so I must finish in time to clean the house and plan a menu.

I just got back from North Carolina. I was visiting my mother, sister and niece. I must say that my niece and sister are taking great care of my mother. She is in much better health than she was 4 months ago when she arrived in NC. She is doing really well, feeling much better. They are doing a great job, much better than I could have done. Bravo for them.

My son had a job interview last week. He applied for a volunteer position helping with the summer camp program at a local museum. I was helping him write his resume, he is such an accomplished young man. I am so proud of him.

I'm still enjoying my backyard birds and the Kodak falcons. Yankee baseball has started too. The weather is warm, spring has sprung. Life is good.

Hi, Barbara:

Hope all is well. I saw you commenting over at my place a short time back, so I know you're alive, at least.

Hey, just because the Yankees are in LAST PLACE is no reason to not write.

(Sorry. That was a cheap shot. I suspect they'll straighten things out soon and be back in the fight.)

Hi Barbara.

I have not seen any new posts from you and hope that you are doing well.

I do however still enjoy the random bird photos on the top-right-hand corner of your new blog.

Hope I will be able to get sharp close-up pictures of these fast-moving subjects to call my own too.

Take care.

Hi Barbara!
I stumbled on your blog accidently when I was experimenting if my blog would come up if I typed "Hamster Heaven" in for a search. I have an entry where I tell about my eight year old who just couldn't let her dead hamster go and have a video of her digging it up. If you want to see it, stop on by! I loved your story and shared it with my BFF! We both laughed hysterically at your hybernating hamster!

Glad for mom they are the best thing we have in our lives. My mom passed two years ago October 30 and I still think about calling her just to hear her voice.

My first visit..
