My Little Chickadee

The Black-capped Chickadee has always been my favorite bird. For some reason, I’ve always been drawn to their appearance and acrobatics. What cheery little things with black hats and bibs. Their faces are white-sided and feathers a beautiful slate-gray. They flit, hop, hover, cling and catch bugs mid-air. I have sunflower seeds out in the bird feeder year long. They get a seed in their beak and then flit over to a tree to eat it. What personality!

How enthralled I was then to get an e-mail from Jim calling me his “chickadee.”

Good morning to you my chickadee.
Heart throbbing, Jim

Barb you know some nudges push you forward while others push you back, and others move you when you are high centered so you can go on, that is all confusing, isn’t it. I will call you at 6:45 and we will have our evening chat.

Voluptuous (not quite) … push up bras do wonders; young, uh, I don’t think so; chickadee … I like that, my favorite bird is the Black-capped Chickadee! So that is good … You are funny and are making me laugh

You ARE my HERO, Jim Kennedy. Always wanted that knight to show up, just like the movie with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney/White Christmas …the girl was looking for her knight! (there I go again opening up) oh brother.

So what would you like this knight to rescue you from, I’m pretty good at handling dragons and evil men. I don’t do witches well nor warlocks I leave those to my friend.
I have got some work done today believe it or not, I have just about got my presentation for New York done after that I will just be thinking of Barb.

What thing did Jim say next that would “almost kill me”?

You will find that answer on page 138 of My Cowboy Knight, My Boaz.
