Hello.  My name is Grace.  The lady gave me that name because I’m a beautiful, elegant blonde.  And today, I’m helping mama by telling you about some changes around here.  The lady is working and we haven’t seen her since the day we had our outing.  Duke told you about that. I guess when the lady isn’t here to keep Jack busy, he has time on his hands and he’s decided to make some changes for us.  So he took...

Today, Jack was going fishing.  I don’t know what fishing is, but it can’t involve birds or he would have taken one of us along.  How much fun can it be if it doesn’t involve birds, huh?  Anyway, with Jack gone, the lady was in charge.
