And I am remembering that the "goose" who runs fast enough and crazy enough always gets away, so even if he forgets himself for a moment, he looks dang fast and he's obviously brave (ouch! tattoo needles!) so I think he's going to be OK. My little Tristan has 14 rubber duckies, so I am pretty sure he can spare one. Perhaps the bride and groom duckies? Or the pirate? Or the bingo ducky ... he's lucky! Which one do you think?<BR/>Sorry I've been away ... internet was down for a week.<BR/>Love!

I mean truck-load.... of ducks, I thought I would share that great mini duckies, in themed attire no less, are available for about .99 at a lot of the party stores (originally from Orintal Trading catalog). I know, because I bought a ton of them wearing graduation hats to fill the hot tub for my dd's grad party and ones wearing pirate garb for another party on our plate. I was amazed how many different varieties there are out there. They are sooooo cute! One pirate duck on it's way! Won't he be surprised!!!

Would it be weird if I sent Chad a duck since I'm not a real poster or friend? <BR/><BR/>My husband was in the military right out of high school (we were high school sweethearts). We broke up but I never stopped worrying about him and all the different countries he traveled to on "peace-keeping" missions. Luckily fate stepped in and we got back together 12 years later and are now happily married. Needless-to-say, I have a deep respect for our soldiers and would love to just send Chad something to say we're thinking about you and thanks for all you do.<BR/><BR/>Keep your chin up, Heavenly Father hears your prayers (and all of ours for him too)!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>DesiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-20192698100912040492007-06-07T14:12:00.000-07:002007-06-07T14:12:00.000-07:00I want a tatoo, but can't figure out what I want a...I want a tatoo, but can't figure out what I want and where... I know I don't want one that I regret when I'm 80 years old and some guy named Treshon comes into my room to give me a sponge bath and my 'oh so cool' tatoo that I got at 50 has moved all the way down and is now hanging on my ass or something... such a delima...<BR/><BR/>I love the pictures of Chad, Jolene and the duck idea too. The pictures, well..they are priceless. And as darn HARD as this whole situation is, when I see that last picture, I know that Chad is learning lesson about our world, human kind and life that he would never be able to learn here. He will come out of this without holes, full of spirit and with a perspective and view of life ont his earth that will serve him well for his next 70 years!
