Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

Check Out KidZui

I heard about this and want to pass it on for parents and grandparents who have kids that like to use the computer.

KidZui is a free Web browser, search engine and community for kids 3-12.

Kids have the freedom to learn, play, search and discover over 2 million games, websites, videos and photos on their own. KidZui has the largest number of games, websites, videos and photos reviewed by parents and teachers anywhere. Kids can find what they need to help with schoolwork, by themselves.

Kids safely express themselves, with their Zui, backgrounds, tags and online status.
KidZui eliminates the need for parents to constantly watch over their kids' shoulder, when they are online. Parents know what their kids are doing online and they can connect by sharing content. KidZui sends a weekly email that tells you what your kids are doing online. The KidZui parent account lets you share content and set limits.

KidZui is free to all families but also offers paid Membership with extra benefits.
Search is essential for kids, as they learn all the things that will make them productive adults.

KidZui Search is tailored to the needs of kids. KidZui Search provides:

* Suggestions and spelling correction
* Search results with content relevant to kids
* Graphical presentation that is easy for kids to understand

Search Designed for Kids: Your kids can search any topic from Aardvarks to Zebras, Art to Science and everything in between. KidZui has over 2 million games, websites and videos reviewed by parents and teachers. KidZui provides spelling suggestions based on what is typed. Suggestions are in order of kid popularity.

Search with Suggestions: KidZui Search helps kids with spelling. When kids start typing, KidZui suggests words or phrases that complete what has been typed. KidZui displays a picture next to each suggestion to help children who are learning to read. The suggestions are ordered by kid popularity, so that kids can quickly find what they are looking for. Much, much more.........

Thanks for the info. My grandson is not two yet but I will put it in my favorites and save it for him for a year! Someone suggested a blow up owl for your pidgeons. I have a bobble head owl that looks just like a real one I got at Walmart. It is the same size as a real one, too. It keeps the birds off my patio but does not scare the squirrels. I don't know if it would work on pidgeons or not. Might be worth a try!

Judy: thanks for the idea but I have a blow up owl hanging by one of the pigeons roosts and they fly right by it. Wasted my money. Thanks anyway.
