LOL Don't ask me about grammar and spelling..I am a math teacher. :cool1:

Oh Shelly, I totally understand the close relationship...ever since simone was a year old, she has spent every other weekend here at my house *up until the past couple years.......I just love having her around
She is kind of like my 3rd kid. By the time she was 6 my Daughter went off to College, and my son graduated college that same year. So, Nina spent a lot of time with me and the birds. I took her everywhere, taught her how to ride a horse, and all that sort of thing. I will miss her when she leaves. :-(

Oh, there will be plenty of wood left. The real question is..... will there be enough of Nina left?! LOL!

You should have heard her when somebody asked her if he could have *free* shipping if he ordered 100 pounds. I thought she was going to have a coronary on the spot, and I had to chastise her language. :rofl:
100 pounds!! that is tons of wood. I still feel like I should be buying some, I am missing the boat :cool:

ok look for this one popping up all over the Avenue

" a pickle short of a full jar "

i like it!!:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Now who can i say it to that can handle it? :chin:

ok i thought about it.....it's a perfect phrase to use on myself when i do brain dead things :lol:
I can't wait to see who you say it to. Ummmm....GG?!?! She can take it :dance4:

"She's got a few eggs cracked in her carton"

"6 cylinder engine, but only running on 5"

Nina is in school now, but hey, yesterday she was answering emails from Biology Lab. :huh:

Today is a short day for her, she should be home by Noon and I am sure she will get back to you (if she hasn't already). LOL!

Nina shipped out a few boxes of wood today. I don't know to who, but I am sure you will receive shipment notification, if you haven't already.

I just saw this. :rofl: This picture is hysterical!

I have been just a little nosy, but trying very hard to let Nina do this herself.

I know there are more, but I saw last night that Dianne and Leslie your orders are complete.

Dianne I am sure Nina will box your order up when she gets home from school and ship tomorrow.

Leslie, Nina pulled the last bit of your order out of the dye last evening. So, it should be dry and on its way to you in a couple of days.

I know there are more, but again, I didn't want to be obvious!

Great! She actually emailed me to tell me it is almost ready! She is such a sweet girl....I hear you told the story of Nani's cage! It was a bit of a wait, but well worth it! I appreciate so much your help in getting it:)

I can't wait, or should I say the birds can't wait, to get the wood!

She is having a hard time waiting for the wood to dry from the dye. I generally wait 48 hours after they come out of the dye before packaging, to make sure they are really dry. Nina wants to package and ship as soon as they don't leave color on her hands. LOL!

She pulled the last of your order out of the dye last evening. So she should be able to package on Thursday and ship on Friday.

She sure has been busy. LOL!

Can I tell you what an absolute PLEASURE it was dealing with Nina? She is professional, extremely helpful, well-spoken, and obviously quite intelligent! She and I had many email exchanges and I was overly impressed with her responses and fabulous customer service. I just placed an order and I just know it is going to be perfect.

Nina's mom and Aunt Shelly should both be quite proud of her! :dance4:

Awwww.... thank you Kathie. Nina is a great kid and I am very proud of her. However, don't be entirely fooled, there were some difficult teenage times. LOL!

I'm sure she has had her typical 'teenage moments' but the joy comes from how she handled(s) them

I have 2 boys that have given me fits, one is 23, one hopefully will see 22 in November :lol:

I have been so impressed with Nina, she is such a delight and has such potential :heart:

:hug8:

Nina has definitely grown up quite a bit in the last couple of years. She just needs to find common ground with her Mother, and I think all will be well. She is very intelligent, has a most pleasant and outgoing personality and is a lot of fun to have around.

I have posted a (covert) update in the other Nina thread.
