Hi Jill, another sweet video, I did enjoy Donald. It is wonderful that the story you wrote about your parent's first meeting was accepted for publication.

Hi Robbie, I'm happy you enjoyed the video of Donald. She seems to love the camera. Yes, it was special to have that particular story be the first Woman's World purchased. It meant so much. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh! Love hearing the story behind your latest WW story. Such a sweet picture of you and your mother! Blessings for a good weekend. ♥️

Thank you, Sherida! The story about my mother was actually based on my first published Woman's World story. After submitting for years, at my mother's suggestion I wrote a story with her as the main character and WW bought it. I wish she would have suggested it years prior! Enjoy your weekend. xo

Donald has the sweetest personality. I like to imagine what she's saying too. Oh, he's a she. We thought she was a male when we named her. LOL!

I just love Donald. He's beautiful. I would love to have a duck like him . He seems to be talking in his own way.

We love her too, Helene. She has so much personality. Yes, he's actually a she. I should probably refer to her as Miss Donald. I agree with you. She does what's called "air talking" because the Muscovy ducks don't quack. Thanks for reading!
