Hubby is home today in preparation for our trip. We'll be leaving the snow behind for more tropical weather. This year bird boy won't stay with my brother. My brother is a good care taker, but given my dad's situation we thought it best to board him at the giant bird place from which we adopted him. He'll hopefully have fun watching and listening to different species of birds. We told him it'll be like Club Med.

I have a LOT of ironing to do, but everything else will be done quickly afterwards. I did a lot earlier this week. My neighbor will watch the house and do some minor chores inside.
