This is so sweet, reminds me of my wonderful Daddy who loved birds, especially doves. When I was a teen, I remember he built a special feeder for his beloved doves and painted it to look like a Howard Johnson!
Henry Crank 8 years ago

I miss the days when my Grandma would call me to tell me one of my favourite bands was going to be on a TV show. Grandpa would read the TV Guide and list off everything and she would go through all the grandkids, calling each of us up to let us know our "people" were going to be on tv. So sweet.
