Three Weeks! Wow! I didn't know
cut flowers lasted so long.
I wish my outside flowers on my
bushes lasted as long!
Guess whose feathers these are?If you said Max, you're right. It's
going on six years that I have had
him. When he loses his tail feathers
for the new feathers, I collect them
and place them in this cup. The
longest one measures 22".
This is a picture of dad in one of the jobs
he had while in the Navy. I'll never
forget the story of his first time doing
this. They were just going out for a
"ride" and dad was in his gunner's
seat, but not belted in. The pilot
decided to take a dive. Dad said as
the nose of the plane headed straight
down, his knees hit the metal shield
in front of him and he held on for
dear life! If it hadn't been for that
he would have been flying free
with no parachute! They were
over the water, but I don't think
that would have helped from the
height they were in the sky!
