5/20/2010 I Have Lots of New Friends!

Before I get to the new friends I made I have some more birthday wishes to go out. Two in fact. To two very special people in my life.

First up, Lourie. Lourie and I have been friends since junior high school. I like Lourie. Lourie is older than me. I like rubbing it in that Lourie is older than me. Lourie will always be older than me. (Don’t worry Judy and Gail, you’re next)

Today is also the birthday of my dead tree loving friend LaVon. LaVon is one special lady and I am so happy that she is in my life. Let the countdown begin till Social Security.,..you go girl!

Now to the new friends I made today. I had some pieces of bread that were just starting to go stale and since I had already bought a new loaf I thought I’d go feed the birds. Being ocean side like we are the most prevalent bird here is the gull. They must be very attuned to plastic bags rustling because I hadn’t even got my hand out of the bag with the first piece of bread and they were on me like flies on s…….well, you know.

It wasn’t easy throwing the bread up in the air and getting pics too.

Sometimes I only got half a bird.

Some were closer than I thought!

Some just tried to stare me down like they were daring me to throw more bread.

Some were really good at catching the bread mid-air.

Some just circled round and round, waiting.

Here’s the whole crew after I went inside. It took a while for them to go on about their ways.

Tomorrow we are attending a meeting to find out the particulars of our summer camp hosting job. Duties, hours etc. I’m glad because we are starting to fill guilty for staying here in the campground and not doing anything to earn our keep.
