I agree with Irene. It's just so perfect. This formation of ducks will never happen again. The judges love this of a kind stuff.

I like the tie-dye idea, Pom-a-lade..."Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He stayed in her boudoir
While she freshened up
That boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets
Where he started to freak
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade..."
And so on and so forth... Good ole Internet searches.
As for re-submits, I suppose at some point down the line, this might magically appear again... I thank you for your support!

What perfect timing and she looks so proud. It is so cute how they are all huddled and feeding. This would look so cool hanging in a doctors office. #9454043Mary K. Robison June 11, 2011 0
I like the way you think, Patricia. It'd be grand to have this displayed somewhere besides my friend's screen saver. A doctor's (particularly a pediatrician's) office would give parent and child something to talk about, eh? Thanks for the idea, and thanks for your friendly comments! #9454808Josie Detmers August 28, 2011 0
