... since it’s rotted to the point where the base is frankly what the Dixiecrats have evolved into, I hear the Whig party is still breathing, if very shallowly. Plus it’s got an owl for its mascot. Owls are cool. They can twist their heads 180 degrees and get a new view on things. I’m afraid that the Neocons, the New Republican Party born out of the ashes of what Rovian politics has done to the...

I want this so bad. It has my favorite things as charms! Owls, Keys and leaves! All it needs is a heart. I really love home made stuff like this. I really enjoy the unique style of clothing, home decor and jewelry that has become popular recently. It's kinda of a mix of vintage sixties patterns, victorian charms and simple colors. It's different from my moms heart warming clutter and Shaun's...

Lets see how many I can get to, until erin can't be in my room because they will all watch her (I am so loving.) I ALSO am kicking myself for ever...

i have to stop writing this and you have to stop reading it.

It happened so quickly, and yet it seemed so slow. In all my years teaching about nature I have come to understand that the wing beats are silent. I do not remember hearing a flutter or flap, though...my way, had to get on with my life, had to stop smelling the roses, had to leave this wonderful experience, had to say goodbye. I walked away, but not without a farewell hoot. Owl-ly yours- Chelse

... it was, in fact, a real owl! Now, those of you who know me know I got pretty excited about this, and let me tell you why. In the 17 years we have lived at this house not once have I heard any owls. I ran outside with a flashlight to see if I could spot it, and noticed that it was actually two Great Horned Owls calling back and forth (you can ID them from the call). Sadly they were across the...
