Hi Everyone!

I am finally back after a crazy fall and winter! As many of you know, I own a candy store in Vermont. Well between October and Easter I am usually super busy and don't have time to get on the forum much.

Well on top of just being generally busy, I've had a few other things happen that has taken a lot of my time. My mom had a small fire in her apartment and had to live with me for over a month. Plus I had to deal with working with her senior housing complex to get her apartment cleaned up and livable again. On top of that she was in the hospital twice with a intestinal obstruction this past fall and winter.

I had 14 people visiting this past Christmas with most of them staying at my house for a week. :11: Needless to say, that was a lot of work.

On top of that, I ended up with a moth infestation at my house due to some bird food I bought at a small pet store in August. I suspect what I thought was a fresh bag of bird food was not. Unfortunately, I no longer had the bag and couldn't check the date. it was a pain to get rid of them! But I can honestly say, my home is moth free as of now! I saw my last moth last week! Yay!!

But the good news is me, my family and my fids are all doing well! How is everyone else doing? I am looking forward to checking out the forum to see what everyone has been up to.

By the way, who did the awesome Parrot Forum staff signatures?? They look awesome!! :D
 
Hi Blanca!!!

It's so super nice to have you back! :) You were missed!!!

Since we're in touch outside of the forum, I knew about mom and your Christmas guests. How's mom doing now??

Please do share how you completely eradicated those seed moths? :11: I've had an infestation before, and it was NO fun!!! Besides thoroughly cleaning my entire pantry, freezing the dry bird mixes, buying countless moth traps, they kept showing up. Onsies and twosies....but still. :mad:

Allee made our signatures! :D

Thanks for the welcome back Wendy! :D

I was thinking about sharing all that I did to get rid of the moths on another post in case others have the same issues. I did pretty much similar things you did. I will share photos as well! ;) Stay tuned...

Yes, I found out Allee did the signatures! What a great job she did! Bravo!! :D

I guess I should update mine! LOL!

And mom is doing great currently! Thanks for asking! ;)
 
Welcome back Blanca. Your posts were before my time here, but I read a few of the old ones and enjoyed your contributions. Glad to hear all is well now!

Yes, I am thankful to say all is well with my mom right now. I'm hoping it stays that way and she doesn't have another tummy flare up. So far so good, knock on wood! She is now 78. So I never know what is coming around the corner. I'm hoping for a quieter few months in that department. ;)
 
Welcome back! Sounds like a VERY busy fall/winter. Glad all is going well.
