Yeah! I love these little critters. I have 2 budgies and 2 cockatiels, but only one of them is willing to show affection towards other animals and humans

Wow you have many birds! and they can show affection that must be rewarding! Thanks Mr. Anderson!

For those who like to watch different marriage ceremonies here is a neat video. There is an area in Iran with Turkmen tribal lands.
Interesting Fact, Turkmen live in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Pakistan.
Sometimes I think, if people everywhere were left to prosper in their own lands what a wondrous world this would be.

For all our clashing (and I mean all of us lol), my first thought when viewing google homepage, this morning--

Oooh.. @DesertRose has to see this! (as though you won't hit google at some point today). ​

... I thought they were hanging lanterns. Alas-- they are not. They are made of wire (sigh), but they are lovely, nonetheless, and they are currently on display at the Guggenheim (in addition to other notable places). Artist, Ruth Asawa.

Ive been into this kind of egg pod hanging chair. I want to get one for my new house, if the shipping isn’t too much hassle.
I like this for indoor though not outdoor.

Thank You for thinking about me when you saw the lanterns! They are very exquisite!
Currently, I am loving SE Asian styles:

I like that... its a little bigger than ones I've seen before. I used to have a papasan chair .. similar but it sits on the floor, like a big bowl.

My cats would take that chair (away from me) for certain.

Would love a bookstore roadtrip and have done so on a smaller scale with checking out at least 1-2 bookstores or more when traveling.

Yet both City Lights in San Fran and Oxford Exchange in Tampa have the black and white floor. :-(

I've been to #14 several times and dream is to go to #16.

I read the rules of the thread before I posted Miss Rose and you will see there was no politics or religion to be found...just a lot of tea.

Ya, I know there is a zombie version, I got that for my daughter thinking zombie Jane Austen was better than no Jane Austen lol!

No, I did not see the modern spin off. I’ll have to look for it, thanks!
