As Suzanne’s blog last week exemplified, we typically try to comment on things that have broad appeal to our audience – the Masters, Covid, March Madness, St. Patty’s Day, etc. But with this ugly ‘House Arrest’ still hanging on, we’re left to fend for ourselves at home as best we can. And ‘best we can’ at our house last week was defined as having Brother Jack and wife, Sharon in from the Central Coast and Sister Suzanne and husband Al in from Arizona, as well as some of our kids and grandkids gathering at our house for . . . well, just for fun and just because we can!
It goes without saying that there was a wee bit of imbibing going on over the last few days, which is to say that I not only had difficulty trying to create an interesting blog, much less coordinating my lest-than-nimble fingers to put word to document. But I had the wherewithal to take some photos over the weekend, so as any good birdwatcher would do, I’m posting my best photos of these ‘rare birds in action’.

If what they say is true, that a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ve just provided you with an 8,000-word thesis. Hope you enjoyed. I did . . . I think!
This looks like the most fun Bird Watching Event Ever!
How very Special for All! 💕
Yes, we feel very fortunate that we enjoy each other’s company. Thanks for your comment!
We want to be Sparrows!!!!! Looks like a great time!!! XO P & W
You ARE an honorary Sparrows!!! Thanks for your comment!
Looks like some fun was had by all! Miss you guys!
Yes, great time! We do need to get together sometime soon!
I blamed how I felt Sunday on the Covid vaccine received the day before but to be honest I think I was subconsciously celebrating with the Rare Sparrows and my favorite cabernet Saturday night! I have no pictures to document that decision…sure enjoyed yours, though!
Ha!!! Very funny Pam! I’m sure you had a good time as well!
I am so happy for all of you! I loved the pictures and the captions are perfect! It has been such a long year. We are excited to see our grands at the end of April.
Love you guys,
Margaret
Thank you Margaret – always good to hear from you. Yes, it was good to get together and pretend that Covid didn’t exist!
So glad you got together and just love the pictures and captions!
Thank you Janet, we do manage to have a pretty good time when we get together.
