Well! Today has certainly been a surprise. I was aware that the peregrines were back in Winnipeg because I receive Dennis's great pictures in my e-mail. The picture of the egg had me going on to the Forum to catch up on the gossip and then I saw the names under the picture - Princess and Ivy. My stomach hit my knees and I spent quite a while catching up with the emotions of the last 3 weeks or so. But this is a happy time and after I settled down, I had to laugh. I don't watch the soaps on TV but isn't this very similar to one . . . the disappearance of the aging rock star - will he return? (please!), the sexy high flying society Princess - will she be satisfied with second best?, the naive young cheating male - is he being used as a boy-toy? and lastly, the abandoned young bride - will she find a new love? Here's a toast to a great cast of characters! Here's hoping that this particular soap opera will run for many years.
