Daphne, almost 4 months

[SandraK]

We could have a meet-up when you go to pick up your little one. Between all of us, I live the closest to Barb.

Though I'd love to meet Daphne (and of course Matthew) I'd hate ruin that special fid & dad meeting and bonding moment. I'm sure that Matthew will flood us with photos once he and Daphne get home (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, ).

Plus I'd probably have to take off work which I can't do for the next couple of months.

OMG! You need sun shades with that bird!

I'm so thrilled for you...I bet you can hardly wait to bring her home.

Yes, I think that's best. Thanks, @SandraK ! I will bombard you with pix and stories.

I am so blessed to be getting her!

 

[SandraK]

Special things and fids happen to special people, what else can I say?

I assume you will be driving to pick her up. Just an FYI, don't buy gas in Illinois. Prices are a lot higher. Not sure where in Ohio you will be coming from but the truck stop on 80/94 exit 6 there is a Pilot truck stop or if you are coming up on 65 there is a Speedway on the East side at exit 255

She's soooo gorgeous!
Love the first picture!!

I wish I knew someone with a Macaw so I could be around them more, they really are glorious birds!

Actually the gas prices in Illinois aren't that bad right now - Average U.S. Gas Prices May Remain Low this Winter | AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report We're at the low end of gas pricing, believe it or not. Unless I'm reading that pricing map wrong.

Isn't it great how much they have come down? I am thrilled. Wonder just how much longer it will stay that way.

When I was out yesterday I saw what the prices were and went onto the internet and looked for the places that I would get gas when out that way in Indiana knowing it is always lower so I though I would mention that. No need to pay 0.20 cents more a gallon when you don't have to.
