Stealing

I regularly read a chicken forum. I get lots of information about raising chickens along with some great stories about chickens. I was shocked the first time I read that someone had installed a security camera to catch who was stealing their chickens. Really? Someone would steal chickens? Usually this sort of thing happens in areas that are much more populated than mine. Okay, that doesn't really mean much since where I live is sparsely populated. Still, I can't believe that someone would just take someone else's animals, especially chickens! Its just one of those things that I have a hard time wrapping my head around and understanding. Chicken stealing. Really?

Wedding

I was talking to someone about our weddings. And I realized that although our wedding was pretty nice it was, it was also pretty bare bones. My Mom made all of the flower arrangements from silk flowers. That included the center pieces and all of the decorations. I even made the bridesmaid gifts. We didn't spend money on birdseed or bubbles or elaborate table favors. We had good food, good cake, a little champagne and good music. It was a incredibly fun evening and I don't regret the money we didn't spend.

Going Home

We spent a weekend in our hometown recently. It was nice to see our family and some old friends. We don't normally get to see any old friends so that was a real treat. A weekend back home is really not enough anymore. There is always too much to do in a day and a half. I wouldn't miss home if we stayed longer. Normally when we are there I stay in touch with my friends back home by stealing someone's Linksys router signal. That's enough to keep me happy being away. I am hoping that this summer we can spend a long weekend there. Then we can see everyone and not feel rushed!
