Catching Up....
I haven't posted anything since I got back from Caseville, so I'm just going to quickly update on a few things.
Tomorrow I'm having a colonoscopy done, so I'm prepping for that...and I'm so HUNGRY!! I can't even think straight....I'll be glad when it's done and over with and I can EAT!!
I stayed a few days longer in Caseville than I had intended. Some of the condo owners had scheduled an association meeting on Saturday and I didn't want to miss it. The main association member who owns about 75% of everything had decided to add an addition to the Florida Room that he doesn't even own. It is attached to his bar/lounge and he only leases it from the Association. In front of the Florida Room there was a patio and he decided to enclose it in. Nobody knew about this until owners started going up there and saw it. I am FURIOUS to say the least. My unit is right next to the Florida Room and I had a decent view of the water from my place, but with the patio enclosed, my view has been somewhat restricted. Basically, there is nothing we can do....it's done. What he did was clearly against the Michigan By-laws. We could probably get a lawyer but everybody else seems to be satisfied with his apology and 'he won't do it again'. Whatever! My son is the main one who is using the place now. I stay at my cottage and only use the condo for the beach and pool. So guess the view doesn't matter. It's just that I also feel that my place has been somewhat devalued because of the lack of view now. Anyway, so I went to the meeting and drove home the same day.
When I got home, I found that my son had rescued 'another' pigeon for us to take care of!! Back in October, 2007 he had rescued a pigeon that had flown into a windshield and brought her to us. I blogged quite a bit about my adventures with rehabilitating "Brinks" as we called the pigeon. We had her from October, 2007 until April, 2008 when we were finally able to release her. I had fallen in love with that little pigeon and it was so hard on me when I had to let her go. She basically lived in our upstairs and had total freedom to fly around. She had been ready to be released by November, but because of the hawks in the area and the weather I didn't want to. So she ended up staying with us all winter. Please go back in my archives during that time and read about her, and see her many pictures.
So anyway, apparently when my son was driving down Telegraph Rd, he saw this young pigeon fall out of it's nest under the overpass and hit the concrete below...and cars were whizzing bar and he was toppling around. So my son did a turnaround and went and rescued him and brought it to our house. He is a young pigeon without all his feathers and even still has some of that yellow fuzzy feathers that young birds have. We have a dog crate we keep him in and he is learning to eat and drink water and growing his feathers. Right now, he still needs to grow his tail feathers before we can release him. I'm going to have to take him back to where my son found him and hope he reconnects with his family. He won't be ready until after Memorial weekend, so I'll be taking him with me to Caseville. That's what I had to do with Brinks a few times.
I'm STARVING!! I'm trying not to think about my hunger pains...but it ain't working. I go in tomorrow morning at 7:30. Hoping everything is normal. It should be.
