Dead Birds and Sunsets

Saturday we had one exciting event. I was on the computer w/ Mackenzie and we were sending IM's to Elizabeth. Tux was meowing at the door and I asked Mackenzie to let him in. She did. We were sitting on the couch and something got our attention. Mackenzie calls out to me that Tux was trying to eat a bird. Yes, a bird! This would be the 2nd one in 2 weeks. The other week while I was outside talking to Amy on the phone Tux decided to eat a bird, feet and beak and all. Well we see feathers starting to fly on the other side of the kitchen table. I am not kidding. Seriously, I'm not kidding. I open the back door and try to get him to go outside w/ his "dinner" and he refuses. So we hear crunching and horrible sounds. Mackenzie is shrieking and crying all in the same breathe and I am shrieking because it's so nasty. I look under the kitchen table and the cat has eaten it in half. Yes, so gross. Tux polished off the entire bird. Nothing left with the exception of loose feathers on the tile. I guess on a positive note he licked up all of the blood and guts.


So I went to Luverne today to the courthouse to look up the records on the land that Lee's mom had. Macie and Lee are trying to sell it and no one knows exactly where it is. It was a 2 hr. drive each way but it wasn't too bad. On the way home tonight I took the most breath taking pictures while driving on the mid-bay bridge of the sunset. This is why I love living in Florida. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Wednesday morning I will try and post pictures on here of the kids from the Fall Festival at a local church. I can't wait. I just hope Jackson will keep on his Elmo costume. I seem to think I'm asking for too much.


And the bird...

Is no more.
