Parrot at Auction

One day David went to an auction. While he was there,
 he bid for a parrot.
 David really wanted this bird, so he got caught up
 and thoroughly involved in the bidding.
 He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid,
 so he bid higher and higher and higher. 

Finally, after he had bid much more than he had intended,
 David won the bid; the parrot was his at last.

As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer,
 "I hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have
 paid this much for it,
 only to find out that he can't talk!" 

"Don't worry." said the auctioneer, "He can talk.
 Who do you think kept bidding against you?"

Well first day of spring here in Port Loring Ontario.  Great day to be alive. Well any day being alive is better than the alternative.  Sure doesn’t feel like it temperature wise though, as this morning it was down to 12 degrees old school.  But there is warmth in the sun, so that is a sure sign things are moving toward them lazy hazy days of summer.  Thought I would put together our holiday and vacation dates for ya.  Take A Look.
