    It's a good way to get my steps in. Fun to just go to a couple of areas at the zoo. And as usual I take my camera along. We have been getting annual passes for years now. Good way to support the work they do and have some time to enjoy it also. I always like to go alone so no one is pushing me along and I can take time to see the animals up close and personal.

    Lisa, I love your zoo.  If I lived our there, I would definitely get an annual pass.  Have been there twice and well worth the admission price.  Wished ours was as nice.

    Lisa love that gorilla!  Such incredible knowing in those eyes!

    I haven't been to the zoo since forever as I always have so much to do when I go to the city.........I really should just make a day and go and enjoy as I do love the animals and doing it alone would let me just relax and take in the antics of some of them.

    Enjoying a quiet Saturday afternoon waiting for the Tennis tonight.

    Love n hugs.    Chrissy

    Lisa, I love the photos, too. Great pictures. A hummingbird sitting still is quite the feat. 

    sas, so good to hear from you. Happy happy news on the 5 years!

    An article came out in our local paper today about the shop reopening. The reporter did a good job. It is big news here in the dead of winter, lol! The cobbler and I are settling into a routine. I am trying not to micromanage but be available and help to deal with customers. There was even a picture of my dog in the shop. That will definitely get the word out and the work in. 

    My DS is home for the weekend. His first words to me were "There is no real food in the house!" lol guess he has to go grocery shopping.

    hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

    Lisa, I love the zoo photos!  I do envy you being so close to a zoo and being able to go anytime you want to.  We have one zoo in NC and I've been a few times, but it's a natural habitat zoo and often the animals cannot be seen at all, or at least up close.  Well, except for the snakes.  They're confined, thank goodness.

    I love your photos too, Lisa.  I went to your zoo once back in the 80's and it was spectacular!  Wish I can go again maybe one day.  Thank you for the great pictures.

    Oh Lisa, I just love giraffes!  That baby is just so darn cut!!!!   Love it when you go to the zoo as we all get to go too!

    Nancy so good to hear that the shop is up and running.........that's got to make you feel good!  

    AJ I love it when you feel up to popping in, good to see you!

    Just hanging waiting for the tennis finals.....boring......not.   It is a foregone conclusion who will win but it should be interesting to see what Wawrinka can do up against Nadal.

    Well back to my snowflake blanket.......it's actually big enough to cover my legs but needs to be a bit wider yet.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Love n hugs.    Chrissy

    SoCalLisa - You photos are lovely & it's not just that you have good subject matter - the focus is perfect & you clearly have a great eye for composition. Thank you for sharing them with us. 

    Chrissy - I'm glad the Afghan is going well - I am a project starter, but rarely a project finisher. I'll get about 9/10 of the way done with something and then get bored with it - not a good trait to have. 

    I have been in bed a lot lately recovering from my exchange surgery & because I expected it to be a fairly fast recovery, I didn't plan ahead for things to do or even the basic 'comfort' stuff. I am soooooo happy that I got myself a laptop before this all started - it sure is a help when you can't move around much.
