I’ve been Flocked!

I’ve been flocked!  Happy Birthday to me! I woke up this morning early before everyone, opened the door to get the paper and ………..SURPRISE!  I’ve been flocked! Happy 50th birthday! flamingo flocking birthday

Mabie wasn’t so sure about these fine feathered friends. She was very cautious.

I could have marched out in my jammies to get this photo……because really, once you’re fifty…..who cares right?  But I gather what self respect I could and had my husband walk across the street to get this shot.  Mabie followed him and did her business in the yard across the street as well.  She was having NONE of these nonsense.

Apparently flamingos get thirsty.  (just so you know…..I picked that fountain up for $15 at a yard sale a couple years ago……and spray painted it)

Shortly after, I headed to Edgefield Ruby Spa with a girlfriend.  Ahhhhh
