BITS AND PIECES

On November 2 we birdyset Jazz for four nights.

Jazz is a male Eclectus Parrot. This is the only Parrot species that has a marked sexual dimorphism in the colours of the plumage. The male is green, like Jazz; and the female is bright red with purple. They are beautiful birds.

Jazz was a good bird and said things like: "Company", and "I'm an Eagle"! But we learned to appreciate Boomer a great deal more because when Jazz squawked (which he did often) you could hear him two blocks away. He was much, much noisier than Boomer so we decided we have a prize in Boomer!

OUR FIRST TRIP INTO MEXICO:

On Tuesday, Scott was going to go down to Mexico for a haircut so we decided to tag along. We hadn't gone to Mexico (which is only 45 minutes way) since we moved here. I had seen some drinking glasses that I wanted in Tubac. Shirlie said -- get them in Mexico they will be a lot cheaper. And they were, I found them for almost $2.00 a glass less down there and it was kind of fun bartering. We also got some booze at the duty free shop for a lot less than buying here in the states. Then stopped at Wisdom's (a Mexican Restaurant) in Tubac on the way home. It was a good day and now we can say we have been across the border.

DOORS AND WINDOWS TOUR:

On Wednesday, we went with the Camera Club to the Barrio in Tucson for the annual Doors and Windows tour. Below are a few of the pictures we took.

I took a total of 169 pictures and Bob took 120. I will probably delete 160 of those pictures, but I guess that is what photography is all about. Thank God for digital cameras!
