When we came out of Peachtree Cafe and got in our truck which was parked in a different place, we saw a dead tree behind The Family Medical Center...I asked Tommy is that a buzzard in the top of that dead tree behind the medical center..He said what dead tree then he said yes I see the tree but it isn't a buzzard but an owl for it is too light to be a buzzard..He decided to go over and see what it was but when we got to the traffic light which was much closer I said I believe it is just a limb..He went on over there and went in behind the medical building and we both said no that is just a dead limb..We had a good laugh..It was funny..LOL..

There was a buzzard who lived in a tree
Behind the medical shop, cute was he
Surveying our town
Such a funny clown
No, just dead limb the highest one you see

Two old people totally mistaken
No way this bird will eat any bacon
For it's not a bird
Just our vision blurred
Figure it out, yes, we are so shaken

No matter how you cut it, one side is always rougher than the ther. A dead branch on a tree on the ground eventually will be and a cross was used to make so Son back to heaven His father could take. So who does bring back the bacon there in Georgia anyway? Jim Horn

James, I was writing about the fact that my husband and myself no longer can see as well as we once could see..We thought that a limb on a still standing dead tree looked like a bird on a limb on that tree to us..LOL..Sara

Jan, Until my husband had his hip surgery in September I was going to an eye doctor about every two months since I had surgery for cataracts, she says I have developed glaucoma so I have an excuse..In my left eye I have 20/200 vision and in my right eye I have good distance vision but no near vision..I guess my vision is not what they say it is..LOL..Sara
