Of Course I Hear Voices: I Own Parrots

If my place was on fire, I would be heartbroken. If there was time after I got the birds and my laptop out, there are a few things I would like to grab. Red Table It is one of the last antiques I bought with my parents. Base Rocker and matching chair They were my mom's. She died in June and I they remind me of her. Clover table Same as number 2, but this one has a little bit more of an emotional attachment. Mom and I were looking for a similar table for me every time we went antiquing.
