“Birthday Parties have EVERY THING with Surprises”
As a GRANDMA – – that likes to be at the “BIRTHDAY PARTIES” given for the GRAND-CHILDREN – – and the “PARTY” includes a sleep-over of the invited children – – always remember… just do not be too surprised when strange things… just seem to … happen!
When the BIRTHDAY Party – – – ran its course – – all afternoon – – then into the evening hours – – which includes some time before going to bed – – being spent in the “HOT TUB” for those that love the water – – finally sleep.
Early the next morning – – before everyone had breakfast – – I took some time out on the sofa… and checking my list of games the girls and I would be playing – – – I was surprised with … two early risers… “Alyssa and Jaime” – – they had to check and see what I had planned for the days’ activities???
As I was reading my schedule – – something flew by – – and made a “NICE” landing on the top of my head. Since I still had my bobby-pin curls – – I must have looked like a good old familiar tree… for the FAMILY’s friendly “Cockatiel” – – to just sit on the top of my head – – like this was the best “SEAT” in town~!
Nothing to do – – but to rush and get the camera – – take… A PICTURE OF “grandma” WITH THE FAMILY PET BIRD – – enjoying a new resting spot.
This PHOTO is the best – – and to think that I did not … immediately… jump up… and with the arms flying around – – scare the poor old bird. – – The old “BIRD” took a real liking – – as some would say… “shine” to the “OLD GRANDMA”

We are just having lots of FUN – – at the “GERMAN ST.

From St.Louis County to this house in St.Louis City, I am standing in the back yard and I bet that I am suppose to be picking up the trash and putting it in the ash-pit. DV
