I still laugh.<br />Croquet--I have played not so much now as much as I did when I was about 25. The military post lived on had an English Unit and they loved to play so we did. :-)<br /><br />I love watching the birds and we have several woodpeckers here, my favorite is the redheaded Woodpecker. It's huge and I have a nesting pair, which I <i>love</i> having.<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521754250583623909.post-32940301203000519602015-05-12T03:47:34.976+01:002015-05-12T03:47:34.976+01:00Hi Suzanne,

We need you to maintain that singing voice. <br /><br />I'm sure your hubby was delighted with the croquet set.
