One of my darling barred rocks, Ethel, has vanished. I am so upset I can't think straight. She's such a tiny thing. I keep hoping that she just wandered off some place and is perched just snoozing away. My heart tells me that she is no longer with us though. <BR/><BR/>I know that I am silly for getting so attached. Josh does the same thing. We spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for her and then felt utterly defeated when she wasn't home by nightfall.<BR/><BR/>Somehow, I just knew that you would understand.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>LacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-16713297044758559702008-05-16T11:21:00.001+10:002008-05-16T11:21:00.001+10:00I don't know what to say except thankou, thankyou,...I don't know what to say except thankou, thankyou, thankyou!
