Thanks, Nammu!

I asked Hubby to finally take me to our favorite restaurant for dinner. We were supposed to go there for our anniversary back in late May, but it never happened, though we did go out to other restaurants since then. Both of us really cleaned ourselves up, nicely (for a change). I even wore a pretty blue dress with a blue stone silver pin and blue and white crystal hang earrings, the latter which I bought when I was only 17 years old. I felt good for a change. We ate on the restaurant's lovely balcony overlooking a pretty stream and green bucolic environment with some trees. A small horse was nearby, plus two goats trying to climb a tree. Sounds of sheep bleating were also heard.

On the restaurant balcony was a large cage with three beautiful parakeets flying around, joyfully, between perches and toys. That convinced us that we should finally make the move to adopt some birds again. This time we plan to get two or even three, rather than just one. I think that's best. They may not bond as much with us, but the extreme responsibility on us of fulfilling their social requirements will be eased. I want joy in our house again. Joy. The restaurant owner gave us the number of the breeder he got his birds from. We really like the owner. He's always happy to see us.
