I'm not sure when it happened. But it must have been just after Birdie left
me for Texas.
But, the fact is, it DID happen. I lost part of my mind. I know that's what happened because how else do you explain that I JUST LAST NIGHT thought about
Skyping (surely that will be a word if it isn't already?) with Birdie during our Wednesday night suppers?!
Birdie is in grad school which means she is still a poor college kid and she has a full time job as the head athletic trainer at a high school. So, there's been no time for her to come home since she left in July.
Did you get that? I HAVE NOT SEEN BIRDIE SINCE JULY. And that does not make me a happy mommy.
So we put my computer on Birdie's spot at the table and dialed her up via Skype.

| Birdie and Strider! |
 |
| Evwardo (Birdie's boytoy), DoodleBug, and Gibbsterrific chatting it up with Birdie. (Hannah Banana and Benjamin didn't join us last night as they were celebrating their 2 year dating anniversary) |
 |
| Birdie gave a tour of her apartment... |
 |
| Birdie posed for pictures with DoodleBug... |
 |
| And Gibbsterrific... |
 |
| Poor Tucker kept going to the door looking for Strider every time we said his name. |
 |
| Birdie regaled us with tales of Halloween... |
 |
| and football... |
I'm very grateful that my good sense returned last night so that we could all see Birdie and talk with her. It didn't make me miss her less but it was good to see her beautiful face! And enjoy her sense of humor!
And, Skype? I love you.
