Catching Up
I've been away on travel most of the week so time for some catch up:
1. Fred and Ethel's brood have fledged. I checked the box today and everyone had vamoosed. Fred is moping around the yard singing his heart out; I don't know where Ethel is. Perhaps she's out shopping.
2. My other nest box has some house wrens moving in. Because they're a native North American species I can't do much about it. We'll just have to hope that no house sparrows come around looking to cause trouble with Fred and Ethel.
3. Next Saturday is D-'s confirmation. My mother is flying in from Detroit for the event and my in-laws are driving up from Florida. D- has been attending confirmation classes all year long and he's decided to go ahead with his "mature affirmation of faith" as the Book of Common Prayer calls it.
4. I missed Friends Thursday night. Did anything interesting happen?
5. Gunman opened fire on a crowd of students outside Randallstown High School seriously injuring 4 of them. Damn, I can't figure people out. If you heard about it out your way, leave a comment. I'd be curious how far that kind of stuff travels.
6. The boys and I are going off shopping for Mother's Day presents later on today.
More later.

Cool about the birds. Do you ever have bluebirds up there? Know you must be proud of D-. Your boys sound so great. Nothing much happened on "Friends". Haven't heard about the shooting, and if anyone around here has been shopping for Mother's Day they have been unbelievably quiet. Unbelievably.
I never watched Friends so I didn't bother with the finale. Sorry.
I don't think I heard about that particular shooting. But then, I live just south of Oakland, CA and I get an abundance of local shooting news.
Hope you had a great weekend!
Thanks for the compliment about the boys, TW. I believe I'll keep them. (Although despite my best efforts the older one is insisting on leaving of his own accord.)
