My mom used to collect class chickens and had them displayed on a tall book shelf, about 6 shelves worth. One day there was some candy that had been placed up on top, obviously to keep us kids away from it. Well, I bet you can tell where this is going...<br /><br />...I climbed the shelf just like King Kong and of course right as I reached the prize, the whole damn thing fell over! Down I went with about 30 glass chickens and a bookshelf. Needless to say I was the only thing that survived. Now, sometimes I come across a glass chicken like your salt bowl up there and I think of my mom and how she wanted to KILL ME! I got a whoopin' for sure but she's never let me forget the chickens!Amber Von Feltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893607211762877902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-40730444787068932902010-05-21T08:29:49.674-07:002010-05-21T08:29:49.674-07:00I posted here last night?

They are a constant around here. I see them flying around all the time. I have a friend that just loves them. <br /><br />The coon made me sad. Sunday night while driving home from the in-laws house we came upon a raccoon that had been hit and paralyzed by a car. It was so awful seeing it in distress, and there was nothing we could do. We called the police, who had a car dispatched, but it died before anyone arrived (it seemed like we sat there for ten to fifteen minutes). Hubby drove me home and then went back and moved it to the side of the road. :-(<br /><br />I'm glad your dad is doing well.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861306348634106983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-45055020149390357012010-05-20T12:22:03.921-07:002010-05-20T12:22:03.921-07:00It is good to laugh and that was a good story with...It is good to laugh and that was a good story with photos!!!
