Flamingos !!!!

Dear Neighbors and Friends,
As you probably know by now "Flame" the 54th Street Flamingo disappeared in December while dressed up in her "Santa " outfit. We were gone for about a week right after the big windstorm in December and when we returned she was missing. At first we all hoped it was a prank,and she would return, but she failed to return home after many weeks. We believe she took wing in that great storm and is now residing elsewhere.
In the meantime a Longview Hills neighbor was kind enough to relocate a flamingo family to our doorstep. The new family is now grazing where Flame, and later her guitar playing friend, Match, used to be. Many of the homemade outfits and accessories have been donated by the flamingo lovers who live up the hill over the years. Letters and cards have come from friends, neighbors and even the mailman.
We are glad so many of you take a moment to smile when you check on the flamingo family as you drive by our house. The world and our lives have so many serious things to think about and consider. It is nice to share some humor and smiles each day with all of you. Our neighbor across the street, Brent, has a sign in his yard that says it all- "Amor Vincitt Omnia" or.... "Love Conquers All".
Keep smiling,
Kathy and Chaz
