A Day with the Chickens

The girls and I went to visit my good friend before her rapidly-approaching move to Northern Nowhere, Alaska. We had such a fabulous morning, visiting with her chickens, rabbits, ducks, and fish. We even had a proper tea party, with impossibly tiny cups for Ernie, and hats all around.

Ernie sitting down at her tiny tea table, for a tea party of cookies, peach juice, chocolates, more cookies... "All right! Let's have tea party!"

Ernie got to HOLD a chicken. She was a little concerned.
She was pretty excited about the egg she collected from the coop. Not excited enough to EAT it, once we got home, but excited to carry around "her" egg.


Thanks, Mamie, for a wonderful morning the girls won't soon forget! We'll miss you.

PS- Mamie will be living close to Santa Claus. So we now have an "in." Serious, she can hand-deliver any messages you might have for the big guy. Just sayin'.
