Today is a very sad day - my lovely bird Sydney died last night. She was acting strangely for awhile, then yesterday started having spasms/convulsions... I spent a good part of last evening holding her and trying to feed her and give her water with a syringe. But we both knew she was dying, for reasons of which we will probably never know. She was about 13 or 14 (although I thought they were supposed to live up to 20). Last night I did not expect that I'd be quite as upset as I've been. I woke this morning to Tim making us breakfast and telling me she'd died. I held her for awhile, so beautiful! We buried her in a pretty place on our land. We both cried. So that is my sadness today. It's wonderful having pets, but sucks when they die. She used to greet me when I walked in the house, "Hello" "Hello" "Hello". She was a goof and a lot of fun and so gorgeous. I will miss her.

Dia,
I keep waiting for an update. I enjoy reading about all the things you do in New Mexico. Miss you back here in Iowa. Did you get any of the snow? We don't have a flake on the ground. Possible to get just a little this afternoon but after that, looks like a green Christmas. It gets foggy enough that everything looks white though! Have a merry Christmas and a Happy new year! E-mail me some time.
