My parents arrived yesterday around 11:15 pm. They ended up flying out of Fayetteville around 5:30 pm since they missed the flight at 10:49 am. Yep, they didn't get to the airport in time to get through security to get to their gate. Unbelievable.

Anyway, we had a great day today. My kids didn't have school and I left the with my dad so my mom and I could get out. I do wish they would take advantage of my benefits more often and fly up here more frequently. I. just. don't. get it.

So, the reason they came up this week is because my son turns 7 and he wanted them here. Tomorrow, is his birthday and party. I hope everything goes off without a hitch. Time has flown by in some ways.

Oh, and yesterday we had a Sandhill Crane in the back of our farm. That species does not usually hang out in these parts of the U. S., but I think he got blown off course. Our neighbor got some great photos.

I took this photo off the web. Once I figure out how to post the downloaded photos from my neighbor, I will. I just wanted you to see the bird. We have some really cool birds on the farm. I can honestly say I don't miss living in the woods. Now, if good weather would come to stay...
