Travelog post for: lucky-ducky

Well here I am.  I'm not that young and have been in a basket under a bed for a very long time and it feels pretty good to get out.  I wanna go places -- air, sea and land -- even underground and I'm quite used to the dark now.

Today after I surfaced from under the bed I got to go downtown for a freedom days celebration.

There was a street fair downtown and the streets were all closed.  I didn't get to go on any of the rides but there was lots of food about.

I also got to sit at one of the booths for awhile.  I helped out with the Blue Star Mothers who were raising money to help the troops.  I thought it was good to help them because I have a friend 'Coney' who is in the army in Iraq right now.

When we were leaving I saw a tractor and wagon with lots of hay but I didn't get to ride it either.  My friend Hale was with me and he said it was too hot for him.

I'm looking forward to lots of travels and I guess I was supposed to get dropped off today to go on my own but it didn't happen.  Oh well -- maybe next time.  I'm really eager after a couple years in the basket under the bed.
