What have you gotten me into?

That's right! Up until now my life has been fairly quiet. Yes, I've had many adventures, I've been left in the closet, I've palled around with walking fur animals; but...
That AR gtg has wreaked havoc on my life. I have been kidnapped. I have confronted opossum with Sarah. Then I was passed off to Sunshine (that's what she wants me to call her) and Sedona. I have not had a minute of peace! Thanks former keepers!

This house is full of flamingos, parrots, bears and they like to play. When Sunshine and Sedona go to sleep; it's party time. It took me a while to get used to it, but not that long. We had to take it easy at first because Sarah was with us a while and we had to be quiet. She slept in the living room, aka, party room. We also had to get Sedona used to the noise, she had a tendency to bark at the least little noise.

Alas, we have learned to get down w/out her knowing it. So let me tell (show) you about my adventures with Sarah and Sunshine.

Image
This was when Ms Tina presented me to Sunshine. She looks happy, do you think she is?
Image
Ah, Tina's kissing me goodbye. Bye Hershel, Remi, Stuart, twins all my buddies.
Image
Here's a close up of me and where I ride a lot of the time. At least I hang around well and I can see more here than in my bag.
Image
Here I am at the entrance to our first location, Crater of Diamonds State Park. Look closely I'm at the bottom.
Image
Sunshine and Sarah insisted I go find a diamond, I protested but to no avail.
Image
You expect me to do what??? That's a deep hole and I could get lost.
Image
Oooh, Sunshine was right. Diamonds are a girls best friend and I want that one! Yep, the big one will do.
Image
Okay, I would settle for one of these. There are all colors in this place. Nice sparkly ones!
Image
My color, my color They go with my feathers!
Image
Oh I don't know, these may be more my color. Am I a summer or winter??? A girls' gotta know.
Image
Yep, this is it. Deep, vibrant and look at the purple. Maybe Sunshine can dye my feathers while I'm with her.
Okay so we didn't find any diamonds but I sure did have a good ole hot time. I like a/c.

Next we head to Mississippi. Here you will see I meet some new friends. I get to sit on top of a piano my size and then I found a birdhouse, one I could live in. But then I would miss my friends.
Image
We were rockin' the Blues in the museum. The band said we have to be quiet because the "humans" don't understand. Ha! They just don't know Sunshine. She rocks down all the time and now that she has that DVD Zumba, ooh la la, Mama, she can make this house rock.
Image
I really did like sitting on this piano. See my tail feathers hang down in the back and it makes it difficult for me to sit on things properly but Sunshine found this place for me and I feel like a queen. Well okay, how about a pink Etta James?
Image
At the Ground Zero Blues Club it was time for a little pool. I can't believe they let everyone write on the tables, walls, everywhere but that's okay, it adds charm. I'm ready to woop azz with a little 8 ball.
Image
At the Cat Head store I found this house that I flocked to immediately. I want this, I want this. No matter how much I stomped my foot Sunshine wouldn't get it for me. Oh well, I'll stick to my little comfy purse that Lori made me. I've got it broken in and it's a nice fit.

This was a long post and Sunshine assures me the next ones won't be so long but the more I do, the more you all will read about. I'm having a blast. BTW, Buffett is a beautifully colored parrot that is used to going places with Sunshine and he gets to write on her blog. Hey, maybe one day, I'll become a blogger too.

Stay tuned.

Belle, Belle, Belle I thought YOU would be able to keep Sunshine in line, but it seems you've fallen into the party mode right along with her and all her traveling companions. :lol:

She said to tell everyone that she's good for another 10 years. Whatever that means! ;)

Belle, thanks for updating us on all your adventures! Man am I jealous! But I'm so happy that you are having a grand time and enjoying so many travels and so many varied travel companions. Some day you can write a book..."Around the US of A with Belle" or something! Love the pics.

I so enjoyed my short stay with you. Glad to hear you have settled in with Sunshine.
Last time I saw you, you were still pitching a fit for that bottle top bird house and putting money in slot machine trying to come up with enough to pay for it. Thought she might have left you there at casino.
BTW: When you get a beer at the campfire, you are to clean up - or at least take the bottle with you. Someone reported finding the bottle you discarded. Bad bird!

Keeper found these lost photos of me and Sarah at the casino and I bugged her to post them. This is what we did while in Tunica. I loved the Wizard of Oz and really liked the Good Witch Glenda, she gave us lots and lots of credits and that's supposed to be good.Image
Ms Sarah really liked the Gold Fish machine. I believe she won her money back on this machine.
Image
She went to the bonus round, lots. See the big fish bowl. She just sent me and keeper on our way 'cause she was winning.
Image

I'm up on a mountain in East TN right now and it sure is pretty, lots of pretty colors.
