In reply to: Nancy 's message, "Here's the third installment of the first reunion..." on Thu, Apr 12 2007, 16:29:39

The drama of the reunion began at once. Trudy’s daughter Connie came running in to report that something in her trailer was saying “Cheep, cheep,” and she didn’t think this was a reference to the quality of the trailer, either; she thought it meant that something alive was trapped inside the walls. Or maybe that the trailer was haunted.

An investigation ensued. Everyone crowded into Connie’s trailer and listened. Sure enough: twittern twitter, cheep cheep. Everyone took a turn at tapping, testing, thumping, and listening. And finally the diagnosis seemed certain: a nest of baby birds. Obviously this particular trailer hadn’t been used for a long time; it had been left in one place for weeks, and a pair of birds had built a nest, only to have the whole thing suddenly pulled away from them. The nest was in an almost inaccessible spot; the parent birds had been getting to it through the refrigerator vent on top of the trailer.

Much consternation, much consultation, and many attempts to get at the nest. But it was totally inaccessible. The babies were soundly stuck in the wall behind the refrigerator, and there was absolutely no way to get at them They would starve.

But Connie stated firmly that the babies would NOT starve; if nothing else, the trailer would have to be moved back to where it had been originally, so the parent birds could resume taking care of their babies.

After much discussion, much getting-together of heads ( and even a few mutterings that a good spraying with Raid might solve the whole problem) a solution was found. Bill, with tools, muscle power, and skill proceeded to take out the refrigerator. Everyone hung over him, watching and waiting excitedly. Suspense filled the air; this was like opening a Christmas stocking--what would be found?
