2 Random People

San Antonio, Texas, United States
We are the most random people you will meet. Sometimes we just like to stay at home and be comfortable and some times we like a good adventure. We both know for certain that we like to help those less fortunate than ourselves (hence why we both work in similar fields) and that we have a unique backgrounds. Larry is intelligent, calm, and humble. Some of his favorite things are traveling, Batman, watching basketball, and making friends with the neighborhood cats. Bridgedette is smart, friendly, and a go getter. Some of her favorite things are watching Matt Lauer on the TODAY Show in the morning, eating cheeps and learning about new things. We have been laughing together since 2008 and plan to do so for the rest of our lives.

Visiting with my Parents and Hummingbirds

 Bridgedette's Thoughts:

 Tonight I had the chance to hang out at my parents home.  My Dad is very crafty and always lets me help with the special projects he is working on.  Today we were fixing some metal and wood lawn furniture by replacing the old wood, sanding/paining the wood and the metal frames.  For our second project my Dad taught me how to make homemade hummingbird food.  Once the feeders were filled it was time to hang the feeders back outside. Did you know:

  • Hummingbirds are the tiniest birds in the world.
  • Hummingbirds can flash their bright colors, as well as hide them when needed.
  • A hummingbird's brain is 4.2% of its body weight, the largest proportion in the bird kingdom.
  • Hummingbirds can hear better than humans
  • Hummingbirds can see farther than humans.
  • Hummingbirds can see ultraviolet light.
  • Hummingbirds have little to no sense of smell.
  • A hummingbird's heart beats up to 1,260 times per minute.
  • An average sized hummingbird will have about 940 feathers.
  • Hummingbirds have an average life span of about 5 years
