MY HERO "CASTLE" IS BACK AT LAST!!

My Monday nights have been so vacant lately without my favorite guy on TV - Richard Castle.....and, of course, his true love Kate Becket.  I love this series!! The show went on hiatus for the Christmas season, but it's back now, and I enjoyed watching tonight's episode instead of the BCS Championship Bowl Game that my husband is watching.  It's for the national championship between Alabama and Notre Dame.  'Bama is running all over Notre Dame, so it was kind of boring.  Now that college football is over, we just have the NFL playoffs and then the SuperBowl to go.  Then it will be full-blown basketball season and almost spring.  How time does fly when you think of it in terms of the sports seasons!

As I mentioned in my blog last night, I was selling my birds and the cage that my husband had made me.  I spent and hour and a half this afternoon catching all the birds, treating them for air sac mites (a common problem with Gouldian finches), and putting them in a big travel cage.  Then we totally cleaned up the big glass and wood cage.  I wanted it to leave our house looking good, and it did.   The family came to get the cage and all 15 of my birdies at 2:30 this afternoon.  Most of the birds had grown up in our house, and I was sad to see them go, but glad to be rid of the feathers and the seed on the floor.  I am going to get a cute little parakeet to replace them.  My husband has agreed to that.
