Life is a circus

Isn't that the truth?  Sometimes

you just have to laugh or you sit

down and cry and who wants to

do that?  I've done my fair share in 

last three years, losing my birds, John,

Neelix, and another bird.  I'm tired

of crying.  Of course, I cried yesterday

because I received Sadie's memorial

stone.  I found a company that makes

memorial river rocks.  I couldn't

believe what an amazing job they did 

for only 35.00.  Hopefully I will

never have the opportunity to use

them again.

If I wrote about this before, forgive me.  The

reason I called her Green Girl is because 

when I first got her, Cody was 7 and asked

me several times, "what is that green bird's name

again?"  So I started calling her green girl.

I thought it was nice to have her nickname

on the stone.

And in keeping with the title of the post,

here is the card.  Inside it says, "life

is a circus".  I think it's kind of hard to

see, but the front mat is embossed.  I'm

thinking I should have done a pattern

that was more visible, but I didn't

want it to be the focal point.  The ribbon

knot may be gone before I mail it because

it doesn't want to stay on well.  I shouldn't

have used such a slippery ribbon.

Fingers crossed it's going to rain!

It's looked like it for two days, but

today (supposedly) it's predicted.

Okay, so the chances are small, but

I can hope, can't I?!
