Thank you so very much for the beauti...Hello Kyra,<br /> Thank you so very much for the beautiful kit and of course to Arlene as well for her gorgeous clusters.<br /><br /> I am worried about your little bird. I am wondering if he is not plucking the feathers himself. It can happen when they are under stress and this little guy might be. If it is possible, maybe you can take him inside and feed him a lot of little things like some grapes and apples, raisins and seed and talk and play with him until he is healthy. I don't know if that is an option for you, but perhaps. I hear that they like carrots and greens too. <br /><br /> I am not sure what is happening with our money here in the U.S. but we are having another year without a Cost of living adjustment. They say that food and gasoline has been cut to lower prices so we don't get the raise but they forget to take into account the price of rent, medical, electricity etc. Today will be the Election Day for us for a new President. I will be glad when it is over.<br /><br /> Have a wonderful day and I do hope that the little bird will be alright especially with the cold winter days that are coming. Take care and thank you again for your beautiful kit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152429411570034442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-88181468303226246482016-11-07T17:47:55.035+01:002016-11-07T17:47:55.035+01:00Good Monday Morning Missy! Hope your weekend went ...Good Monday Morning Missy! Hope your weekend went well, mine was different to say the least...cool, cloudy and finally rainy! Of course it put off the NASCAR races until way late after they dried the track enough to run, but got rain delayed again with 40 laps to go until finished, so the officials called the race finished. It rained most of the night and still at it this morning, nothing heavy or severe, just wet (makes my arthritis ache) but loving the cooler temps. Hope your poor bird makes it through the winter too, I always worry about all the feral animals outside and leave lots of space to warm up in and food to eat (yes, I know I am a sucker...LOL).<br />Our retirement ages have changed too, thank goodness I am already there as I don't think I could handle a full time job right now! Part time maybe, but not even sure about that!<br />Thanks for the lovely kit and of course thank Miss Arlene too, her work is always lovely! Glad there will be another World Christmas kit and that you will be participating....I love the anticipation and of course all the different designs!<br />Have a terrific week ahead.

I love all of your kits. Also I want to wish Edna a Happy Birthday!<br /><br />I do hope your little parakeet friend does well this winter. I wonder if another bird has been bullying him.<br /><br />In the U.S. they want to eventually raise retirement age to 70 because they say people are living longer. Well, if people have to work themselves into an early grave they sure won't be living longer! It's all about money. Very sad. Life should not have to be about work it should be about living. Who has time for living when each person has to have two jobs to survive?<br /><br />I do hope you and Jan have a wonderful Autumn season. <br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />Love and Prayers,<br />CassieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-22143519806541623502016-11-04T18:28:37.362+01:002016-11-04T18:28:37.362+01:00Hello and I'm back home again after a great vi...Hello and I'm back home again after a great visit with my oldest daughter in Colorado and her 4 children. Of course one of her children is the Bridgit that lives with me now. We took 2 of the puppies with us on a 15 hour drive. Grueling is a good word but I kept the puppies occupied with lots of loving. They were only 5 weeks old and today they are 6 weeks old. My daughter wanted the one little female but then the doctors started messing with her meds and so she thought it wouldn't be fair to have a new puppy that you can't give the amount of attention she needs. A cop worker of her just bought a new house and as a single Mom with 2 girls she was a perfect fit for a new puppy. The girls just adored her and the Vet has proclaimed her as very healthy and gave her the needed puppy shots..<br /> Thank you for the lovely kit and thank you Arlene, for very pretty clusters/frames to go with it. I was able to go out and read a few blogs and check my emails but didn't dare download anything to top. Got it going on now!<br /><br />Oh did I mention I brought my puppy back home with a different name, now her name is Phebe! God Bless you and have a great weekend.Grandma Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335099802170584225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-73889569443420326472016-11-04T17:22:50.784+01:002016-11-04T17:22:50.784+01:00Love having the kit and the clusters together.

The parakeets in your garden are they the larger ones like the Quaker Parakeet?<br /> suzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-35898072869073154832016-11-04T14:29:27.762+01:002016-11-04T14:29:27.762+01:00Good morning Kyra. Thank you so much for the birt...Good morning Kyra. Thank you so much for the birthday greetings. It's a lovely way to start my day. And your new kit is lovely too, thank you. <br /><br />I agree with you about the age of retirement. I do believe it should have stayed at 65. If the government would stop spending our money (that we've paid into the program all these years) on other things, there would be enough money for us to retire gracefully. <br /><br />I love that your parakeets are still coming by. I do feel so bad for the one who has lost a lot of its feathers. I wonder if maybe a little house (filled with hay and moss) in the garden would help this little fellow. I wish him much luck.<br /><br />It's sunny here today but the temps will only get to about 53F. Then dip down into the 30's overnight. I guess it's time to start my countdown to Spring. haha. You have a wonderful day my friend.

Thanks so much for sharing another lovely kit.<br />We too in Canada have the same thing happen with moving up the retirement payments. I think it is so unfair also but what can we do but accept it! Take care and say hi to that poor parakeet for me.
