I WENT TO THE ZOO...

and all I can say is, "I had a great time!!!"

My good friend S. got tickets for us through her work union, and we were grateful. 
   (A., her daughter E. and our friend S.)

I hadn't been to the zoo in almost 10 years, so I was definitely looking forward to seeing the changes that had been made since the last time I was there.

I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked, but here are some of my favorites.

    

  

I think my favorite part of the outing was seeing a polar bear walking over the under water tunnel while we were in it.  It was so cool!  The butterfly house and bird sanctuary housed some gorgeous colorful animals.  And the some of the animals were much more active than I would have thought they would have been.  It was one of the hottest days we've had so far this year. So needless to say, we got in early, enjoyed as much as we could, and left before it got too crowded.  It was a great outing!  Thanks "S." for inviting me!

I haven't been doing anything very productive lately.  I guess I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am un-employed.  I am in the process of trying to narrow down what type of computer classes I want to take.  And decide what school I want to go to.  It has not been easy being un-employed, but thanks to the love and support from my family and friends it hasn't been as hard as it could have been.

I've been practicing my tablet band weaving quite a bit, but I still have yet to feel successful at it.  I'll keep working on it until I figure it out.  And I'll keep you posted.
