No response...but they still flew away!

Our next house on the "Flamingo Flocking" was done without me. Terry and his buddy did a great job. They went late at night to not get caught and were successful. However, we still haven't heard back. Only 2 more days until our story runs in the Hazen Star paper...we are excited to read it!

Terry took these at night, so they are REALLY hard to see. But, I think you get the idea by now!

Third times a charm?

On to our 3rd house this morning. We had inside information that they would be gone at around 9:00am, so Terry, Kael and I picked up flamingos from the previous house and "migrated" them to the next house for "flocking"! The snow was a little hard to get in, but it sure is fun!

Since Terry is a lot taller than me, some flamingos made it higher up the snow banks:

Shot from across the street...I wonder what the neighbors are thinking:

Up close and personal:
Until the flamingos fly away again....signing off!

Take Two

Today we flocked the 2nd house in our Flamingo Flocking adventure. My friend Annie helped me while Kael stayed in the suburban. And...the Hazen Star was there taking pictures. Chris, the reporter, also interviewed me this morning to "get our story out there" and for people to understand why Hazen has pink flamingos moving around town! We'll see how it turns out in next weeks paper!

Thanks Annie for your help...I appreciate it!!! Where will the flamingos land next?

The Flamingos Have Landed!

Terry and Kael are both in bed sleeping and I just got home from my first "flocking"!!! It was a bit scary...not like I was scared of the dark, but scared that they would see me doing it and wonder what the heck I was doing outside in their yard. "Oh hello Mr. Soandso...just sticking pink flamingos in your yard at odd hours of the night...sorry to bother you"! Now I am nervous to see what the reaction will be and how much will get donated. Oh the things I will do for "Legs for Lorisa" team fundraising week! What are you doing for your MS fundraisers this week?

2 boxes of Flamingo arrive by UPS while Kael was napping today...I tore into those boxes!

View from the front driveway....pictures are too dark because it was at night and I was in a hurry to get out of dodge!

Front yard. Hard to see in the dark, but it was my first shot!

View from the inside of the suburban as I drove away with my lights off.

The birds will "migrate" again tomorrow, so look for another posting of where they have landed! I hope these people purchase "flamingo insurance" so they don't land in their yard again!

Save the Date!

Mark your calendars now! We want you to join us for the annual MS Walk!
Stay tuned for further updates!

Pink Flamingos Anyone?

What would you do if you woke up and you had 20 to 30 pink plastic flamingos in your front yard? And then, you find a note saying that they have "flocked" your yard and for a donation they can "flee" your home and move onto someone of your choice? This is my MS fundraiser this year, and I am so excited to do this. Not only do I think it will be fun and hilarious, I think it will be pretty simple. Problem: getting pink flamingos! Does anybody have any or know of anybody that has pink flamingos? Maybe in grandpa's old garage? It's a thought! What do you think of this idea?

Worms? Ewwww!

Check out this link that my friend Jeni found about advances on the cure for MS. It is unbelievable to me that scientists can figure things like this out. Thanks Jeni for thinking of me when you saw this article. You're a great "Legs for Lorisa" teammate!!!
