Thanks for the love laand and everybody!!
Miss Scandi, I have not listed them separately. I will get right on it! I'm sure you feel the need to satisfy your inner duck...lol...quack-quack-quack!!! Thanks for the love guys!
This just isn't what it is quacked up to be, I love the radio though.
Duck races are a big event up in Vermont. They put all the duckies in a dump truck then dump them in the Battenkill river. First one across the finish line down stream wins. I think only two or three people got arrested at the annual event this year. This type of serious business is known to cause fist fights.
Almost as exciting as cow chip bingo but without the aroma.
Thanks for the love fhrjr2!! I grew up on the banks of the Connecticut near Brattleboro... but we never put our ducks in dump trucks...lol... That sounds like a lot of fun!
I know Brattleboro well. Still have family there and friends in Vernon, Putney and across the river in Hinsdale. I used to hang out at Alice's Restaurant on Elliot street.
Hello Ducky!!
