Patch work.

We went to Banff for the weekend and it was above 0 when we drove down but -2C with a snowstorm for our drive home. It took us 3 hours to drive from Banff to Airdrie. There were too many accidents and too many cars in the ditch to count. Our saving grace was stopping into a Smitty’s restaurant for a late lunch. I was instantly cheered up when we saw a vending machine of rubber duckies! I dug for a loonie and we received Soccer Ducky! My husband provided the next loonie, but nothing came out of the machine. It was empty! We received the last ducky

I have been searching for the Feelin’ Ducky vending machine ducks for over a year. Two summers ago, my friend bought me Eight Ball Ducky and Queen of Pigeon Lake Ducky. My brother also bought me the Twitter Ducky from a grocery store in Seattle. It seems small towns carry these duckies. Has anyone else seen these machines in Alberta or Edmonton and if so, where? These ducks are so popular, that you think they would restock the machine. I am driving to Calgary in April, so I am going to check back with this machine then. I think this is the 4th set of Feelin’ Ducky ducks and that a 5th set is now available.

My brother, his wife and 4 kids are in town for the long weekend. My daughter is enjoying playing with her cousins and tomorrow we are going to the zoo together. They were grocery shopping in the US and found a vending machine that carries this line of tiny rubber duckies.

They bought me Twitter ducky. I know there is also a Facebook ducky. I want them all. Has anyone seen these duckies in Edmonton?

Twitter ducky is all white except for his blue eyes and beak. The t" for Twitter on his belly is a different blue of course because it’s the Twitter blue. I wonder if Twitter ducky and Facebook ducky are friends or rivals.

I am a shark.

My friend Gail bought me this rubber duck from Pigeon Lake last summer. If you have seen another vending machine (as I call them but I guess they are really gumball machines) selling these rubber ducks in Canada then please let me know. You can view more of this type of mini rubber duck from one of my new favorite websites. I would love to have the complete set of these mini guys. If the hole in their bottoms was bit bigger they could be a pencil topper.

Eight Ball Ducky is all black except for his grey beak, eyes and the round 8 ball on his belly. He is pretty cool. I just checked the forum and found out that the real name of this rubber duck is Crazy 8 and the other duck I posted is Ten Pin. There is even a Twitter and Facebook rubber ducky. I want them!

Interests: Swimming in the Lake

Red is for Royalty.

My friend Gail bought me this rubber duck from Pigeon Lake last summer. Since today, is her birthday, I thought it would be a great day to feature this rubber ducky. Unfortunately, the vending machine where she bought this rubber duck from is no longer there. So, if you know where to purchase the rest of this rubber ducky collection, please let me know. I had no idea there were so many rubber ducky toy machines.

Queen of Pigeon Lake Ducky is tiny. She is all white except for her red necklace, red eyes, beak and her royal crown emblem on her tummy.
