Thought this might be a way to make a little extra holiday cash- taking online surveys.

Made a list on our family website at Online Survey Companies
Let me know if any worked well for you. I will post ones I am successful with.

Crow Flock Lucas Texas

A huge flock of crows flew in and feasted on our freshly cut yard. I
have never seen so many large black birds in my life. A few got close
to the back window. They were as large as Benjamin.

Does Mary look like me

Does Mary look like me? My uncle just emaile this photo of me that he found. Think I was close to Mary's age when it was taken, maybe a little younger.
