I’m leaving tomorrow for San Antonio. After this, I am hoping to minimize the travel schedule for the duration of my Project Management class. The course opened online this afternoon and it is a good thing I started my reading already. The good news… Continue Reading “San Antonio”
After dropping the nephew off at home (more on the first sleep over later), I went to the Refuge to help out the short-staffed crew and pick up Manu from meeting his potential adopters. He was out on the kitchen perch and I walked… Continue Reading “Manu’s Potential New Family”
This afternoon I am taking Manu, the Amazon I am fostering, back to the Refuge for a night. First thing tomorrow morning, some potential adopters are coming to meet him. I have said many times before that I love Manu, but he prefers the… Continue Reading “Adventures and Introductions”

There are now seven volunteers reviewing donated books to price, and perhaps list online. We have nearly 300 titles on our Amazon page. Sometimes this is a bummer, like when I pulled out the book above. An “Idiot’s” book! Surely it is worthless and… Continue Reading “At the Library – Back Online”
Cyril is a Pionus parrot. Check out those gorgeous feathers! I don’t know her very well and I don’t know Pionus parrots very well. But in the interest of getting outside of my comfort zone, I was working in her room tonight. She made… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Cyril”
