ugh, life can be interesting at times...

Lost a very good friend a little over a week ago. Not many understand the grief of losing a friend of this type and many tell me i am weird for feeling this way. Milo, my first parrot, passed away from a heart attack at 14 years old. We survived a divorce, watched babies grow into young adults and had to deal with Milo losing his upper beak 3 years ago due to his aggressive behavior with my macaw. Milo was a little conure but knew me very well. He would hang out on my shoulder and give me kisses and whisper in my ear. He didn't talk much. He didn't need to. He was my confidant. I could tell him all my troubles and he reacted differently to my emotions. He was a good friend and will be missed. See ya on the other side buddy...

Other than that...

no riding has been done. Either too sloppy or too dang cold. I'm bikeless atm anyway. Reba is in for a rebuild and everything else went to ebay. Hope the good weather this week will bring the trails around and my bike will be ready by Wed. so we can try to go for a ride...

Kids have been busy with plays, cheer tryouts and the rest of living as teenagers. Birthdays are coming up soon as is summer vacations, jobs, drivers ed and racing season. Youngest is going for the junior championships this year. Hope we can get her out riding before the season starts. Oldest is gearing up for bmx season. New bike and gear are ready, just need a track to ride on...
