Turbo announces his choice for President of the United States.

Just a bit of Friday fun!

This past Saturday Connie Talbot performed at the FYE store in the King of Prussia Mall here in Pennsylvania. Amazingly, this little girl was the runner-up in the British version of Idol.

My son happens to be the General Manger of the store which hosted this performance and he gave me the heads up that she would be there along with her Mom and Dad and management team. He said this little wonder is just a friendly and personable as you might imagine when you watch her perform.

Connie and her folks had one more performance lined up on Sunday on the Today show and were then flying back to England for her to attend school.

Lot’s of autographs were signed and fun was had by all and if you are looking for a CD for yourself or children or grandchildren “Connie Talbot, Over the Rainbow” is due to be released this Tuesday. Good Stuff..I have heard the pre-release.

Here is her performance from Saturday:

While I enjoyed watching the performance above, take a look at Connie Talbot and a young lady from Korea performing “You Raise Me Up.” You may not understand the announcer but when you see the blind child on piano it is sure to melt your heart!

*UPDATE: Please substitute the NBC 10 show for the Today show performance. My error! Sorry if this caused anyone any confusion but it seems I misunderstood a bit of the relayed information. Thanks!

Aren’t these just the cutest things you’ve ever seen?

Here’s a duckling snoring. Sooo cute!

Kimsch from Musing Minds has dressed her little dog up as Dorothy and Toto too since she’s a little dog!

The picture inserted in this post is priceless.

Isn’t this one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen? Scroll to view.

Here’s the story:

Mike Underwood, boating enthusiast and animal lover, didn’t expect to hatch an egg in retirement. But in his new role as mama duck, he’s having a blast.
Chipper — the duckling Underwood hatched from an abandoned egg three weeks ago — faithfully tags along at his heels. If Underwood breaks into a run, Chipper picks up the pace after him. If she can’t see him, she chirps loudly.

“I don’t know if she’s got me or I’ve got her,” chuckled Underwood, 75, a retired locomotive engineer who dotes on his duckling. “I just think the world of her.”

It all began after Underwood, who owns a houseboat at The Lake Club Marina on Lake Wylie, watched a mother duck build a nest behind the boat’s passenger seat. The mother duck deposited six eggs there.

“I’d talk to her all the time,” he said. “She got where she didn’t mind me.”

Three weeks ago today, Underwood visited his houseboat and saw the mother perched on her nest. The next day, he found the remains of five hatched eggs. The mother was gone, leaving one last, unhatched ducking.

The abandoned duck egg had a tiny pinhole in it. Underwood picked it up and carefully peeled off the shell. Inside, he found a small, weak duckling.

“She didn’t have the strength to bust the shell off,” he said. “I pulled it off real easy. I didn’t think she was going to live.” He wiped off the membrane and dried the new duck with a towel.

“She couldn’t raise her head,” he said.

Underwood put the duckling on his chest, under his shirt, to keep it warm. “Every hour, she got a little better,” he said. “She bonded to me right away.”
