A really nice day....

Our Location: Bluegrass Rv Park, Foley, Alabama

A warm night lead to a very nice morning, but the clouds rolled in this afternoon cooling things off a bit but it wasn't a cold day here, nor is this evening cold, just bordering on cool now at almost 9 pm. 

Miniature Train outside the museum

Our neighbours Ed & Sue, along with Neil & Carol pulled out this morning heading to Bernie, Texas. An early start they were pulling out just about 7:15 am. Happy travels to all of them. Hope to see them again in the future. 

Train ride thru the park and along Antique Rose Trail

Breakfast was a quiet event, we discussed the day ahead and made a few decisions while munching on our food, when we finished it was up and at 'em. Out the door we headed around 8:30 am to venture to downtown Foley a mere 2 or 3 minutes away. We parked near the train museum which we've been wanting to visit for some time. 

L & N Engine

Leaving the Dogsled in the parking area near the museum we once again started out on the walking trail named The Antique Rose trail which starts/ends on the grounds at the Clock Tower/Train Museum. We walked it all the way to the end of the bike path today, which was about 5 minutes past where we turned around the other day. This time the wind was directly from the south and was warm in our faces on our return trip. It's a great path and we enjoyed it but we're also looking for a new one to use. Like to keep things interesting.

Love the sign...~laugh~

Arriving back at the Dogsled at 9:45 am, but the Train Museum doesn't open until 10 am, so we gathered our things from the Dogsled and head up the block to the Museum but first I crossed Laurel/US 59 to the post office, had to mail a letter to Canada. Riley waited for me on the other side and was busy taking pictures. We managed to enter the museum about 10:05 am, where we were warmly greeted by a nice lady that offered us a bit of an introduction to the museum which is housed in the old L & N Train station. L stands for Louisville, and N stands for Nashville, so the Louisville & Nashville Train Station. The engine outside is of the same name. 

Potato Grader

The Station Museum held some interesting items from various different eras. Some of the exhibits included a wooden wheel barrow, numerous old adding machines, typewriters, farm implements, weigh scales, and even a potato grader. A few household items such as twin wooden buckets with a set of rollers in between for doing laundry, and old wringer washing machine, a very antique vacuum cleaner and refrigerator. 

Miniature farm, feed station, tunnels and trestles, along with a still....

Heading outside to go to the Miniature Train building we were greeted with warm air and darkening skies. The Miniature Train building houses a massive miniature city with multiple tracks, bridges, tunnels, farms, oil refinery, grain elevators, multiple small items including a corn whiskey still, a homeless tent area referred to as the Snowbird camp, a revenuer man in the tree being threatened by the still owner, bridge painters, as well as an entire city of people, vehicles, buildings, stop lights, train crossings, trolley cars, and so on. A circus, a drive in movie theater with I love Lucy playing, a car wash, and a drive in complete with car hops on roller skates could also be found among the many things in the city. 

Small part of the city....

There were 8 trains going today, including Thomas the Tank Engine for the young kids in the crowd. About 5 men, all volunteers were there to show us their wonderful exhibit and answer all kinds of questions. The trains circled the entire city and it was amazing to see all the street lights worked turning red and green, train crossings with working arms and bells, along with the lights, a trolley car ran around the city streets, various other items moved as well. It was extremely interesting.

Thomas the Tank Engine for the little folks in the crowd...

The entire exhibit was donated by a man name Alan Goldman who lived in Montgomery, Alabama. He donated it to Foley with the stipulation that it always be free to view by the public. The volunteers went to Montgomery to his house and in three days dismantled the entire thing which he had set up in ONE room but in various layers or heights to it. Those volunteers brought it back to Foley and spent 14 months putting it back together on ONE level. It's approximately 60' in length and about 15 feet wide. They have two 'trap doors' which they can open up for access to various parts of the display, and they can walk on any of the tracks that run along the outside of the city. It's truly a fascinating place. 

On going fire, been going for 10 years. ~laugh~

We left the museum and headed out to the discount drug store called Fred's, Riley needed some foot care items. Those purchased we came home to the Igloo and just kind of lazed around the rest of the day. I tended to the wart on the bottom of Riley's foot with some Freeze Away wart remover, it worked before so hopefully it works this time as well.  I had a little nap after that as I think the purchase of the new to us Dogsled took a bit out of me or maybe it was the smell of Riley's feet, I'm not sure which. ~laugh~ 

I spent some time reading the manual for the Dogsled and discovered a few things I didn't know about it. Roy, Vern and Paul dropped by to examine the new Dogsled, offering advice, asking questions, and making comments.Always nice to have people notice things. ~laugh~ 

 

A quick game of Yahtzee in which we both rolled a Yahtzee but Riley won again. I can't catch her cheating but I know she does. ~laugh~ 

Time to prep dinner and then some more reading as the sun slowly left the sky and darkness finally arrived just after 6 pm. Outside by 6:30 pm to BBQ dinner, not as cold as I thought it might be!!

Turkey burger is under the cheese. ~laugh~ 

Dinner tonight was Garlic Dill Potatoes with Onions, Sweet Basil/Parsley Veggies and Turkey Burgers. I must say it was all pretty good!!!!!

After a quick clean up inside and out, a trip to the dumpster, it was time to head off in our own directions. So there you  have it, not an exciting day but a very enjoyable one. Thanks for stopping by , until next time...take care, be  safe....

Speed, air, camo.........

We are currently in Foley, Alabama but we were without internet connection for a couple of weeks. I will post the blog posts in order over the next few days. Sorry for the long dry spell.

(All pics taken with phone)

Another wonderful night for sleeping with no
heat. Today was also nice but not as warm as yesterday with some cloudy periods this afternoon which tempered the heat a fair bit. Still a truly nice day and we have NO complaints.

Camo coloured trucks parked along the driveway to the speedway. 

After breakfast we discussed our walk and where to go, headed out for a longer walk as we’ve only been doing some short ones lately. A nice gentleman out for his run mentioned seeing us walking on Booth Road yesterday, saying we walk a lot. Amazing what people notice when you think no one is paying attention. It was only the first time we would be told that we walk a lot to today.

There were a lot of them, desert brown, olive green and camouflage as well.

Beautiful walking weather, we were soon peeling off sweaters and going with just bare arms. Fooled ya, huh, you thought I was going to say something else was bared. ~laugh~ Walking to the guard shack we decided that we’d check out the raceway across the street and so that’s where we headed. I’ve never been to a race track for cars. Horse, dogs, motorcycles yes, but not cars. I live a sheltered life. ~laugh~ The gate on the driveway was closed for traffic but not locked and we just stepped thru the open area beside it and continued down the blacktop until it ended just outside the ticket booth at the entrance to the track. That fenced in part was locked and so we just turned around, but up on the berm there was a spot to at least look in and so I climbed the berm and stood outside the barrier wall and snapped the pics you see in tonight's post. From there we headed back across the road to the park and into the closed loop section of the park. I’ve walked there before but Riley hasn’t so it was interesting to hear her view of the other loop. From that loop we headed back toward the guard shack to go back home but while heading across the blacktop of the boat ramp area we seen a guy flying his quad copter drone. With his permission I took a couple of pics that you see here in the post tonight. As we were approaching the Igloo we noticed the folks in a motor home kitty corner to us were out and about, so I stopped into ask them about their outside chairs that we had noticed and commented on many times. It was the guy with the drone that lived there. ~laugh~ Allan, Robin and poodle Bailey were very warm and welcoming, telling us about their chairs and where they got them, etc. Mentioned about the drone, enjoyed several minutes of chatting with them during which time they commented that we walk a lot. ~laugh~ . They are from Wisconsin and sold their home in October of 2016 and are living full time on the road as well.  Always nice to meet such friendly people.

Some people just have a need for speed...

Last turn before the straight away.

Eating lunch outside while reading was enjoyable as the sun was out for a bit at that time. Later as the clouds
 moved in and it became less than hot outside we moved inside to read. The trailers have been leaving the park since around 9 am this morning and the last I noticed was just before dinner time. I’m guessing it went from about 2/3 full to less than a third by dinner time. By mid afternoon I finished my book and decided a movie might be in order. Man on Fire with Denzel Washington was our viewing pleasure today. Excellent movie, I enjoyed it.

First turn off the straight away.

Dark descended while we watched Denzel strut his stuff. ~laugh~ Time to BBQ dinner and Riley was the chef tonight. She did an excellent job. Potatoes and onions, with rosemary veggies, and  chicken breast with southern peach bbq sauce. Mmmmm….good stuff. Finger licking good, even though it wasn’t the colonel's secret  recipe. ~laugh~ Sorry no dinner pics tonight but trust me, we did eat. ~laugh~





Clean up inside and out, discussed the agenda for tomorrow as it’s pre moving day. A few things to do before we start packing up shop. ~laugh~ 

Can you see the drone up high on the right side of the picture?

So not an exciting day but a nice one.  Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoyed your visit. Until next time…be safe…take care….

Almost hot today....busy park....

We are currently in Foley, Alabama but we were without internet connection for a couple of weeks so I'm posting the blog posts in order. It will take me a couple of days to catch up. Sorry for the long dry spell.

Low’s overnight were in the low 50F/10-12 C beautiful night for sleeping. Full moon was nice too. Although with the trees and the angle it’s not always easy to see, plus with more people in the park there is more light which also cuts down on the glow of the moon thru the trees. Today was bordering on being HOT, not quite but close. ~laugh~ Shorts, sleeveless tops and bare feet were the order of the afternoon. Riley had to move to the shade, the sun was too hot for her but I stayed out there just soaking it all up. I will admit I almost moved to the shade though.

This morning was a bit noisier here in the park with so many more people, kids, dogs, bicycles, motorcycles, skateboards, scooters and bells. Still nice though, sounds of laughter and joy, giggles and squeals, along with some attention getting screams and moans. ~laugh~ Drama is always a high point with small kids, isn’t it? 

They wouldn't look up at all. ~laugh~

After breakfast we decided we’d walk to the Dollar General (corner store/dollar store) for some hamburger buns as we had no buns and wanted to have burgers tonight. The walk wasn’t long, maybe a mile and a half with about half of that being in the park, the rest on Booth Road. The park wasn’t busy with vehicles but the narrow road was, although we managed just fine. Not a fast pace but a pretty good pace all the same. We’ve enjoyed getting out walking here, blacktop, few cars, lots to see and some wild life as well. Along the way we noticed a few interesting mailboxes, seen three horses that didn’t care a whit that we were watching them and managed to see a few interesting sites along the way. Amazing how some houses are neat, tidy, well maintained and other are just junk collectors, old relics in the front yard, side yard and probably the back yard too. ~laugh~

On our walk back to the Igloo we veered off the road way taking the walking path I followed the other day, Riley hadn’t been on it so she enjoyed the sights. We were gone a total of an hour, which included us stopping at the guard shack to speak to the lady there thanking her again for her help the other day. 

Interesting use of car parts, don't ya think?

Back home we enjoyed a very lazy day of just sitting in the sun, reading and watching the people in the park. Kids on various kinds of scooters, bicycles, driving golf carts, and just being kids. Dogs barking at all the passers by and not listening to their owners. Kind of like kids huh? ~laugh~ Lots of grandparents with grandkids here. You can tell it’s a regular occurrence with some and for others it’s still either totally new or just a couple of attempts so far.

As this is an Army Corps of Engineers park, like the state parks, there are no outside lights except at the bathhouses so the park is pretty dark after the sun goes down. However there are numerous ‘night lights’ around the place from rope lighting laying around the perimeter of the campsite to running along under the ‘house’, also in various colours and multiple strands. Also some redneck yard lights, which consist of a putting a trouble light or bulb into a plastic pail and plugging in the cord, which causes the pail to glow much like the globe on a light fixture. They too come in multiple colours from the pails to the bulbs, which cast odd lights to be seen. Also many leave yard lights on all night as well. Some like us, have solar lights around the campsite, while others have strings of patio lights hooked to the awnings. Always amazes me the need for people to have lights on even when they aren’t outside. 

Do you think he gets his water from here too or just holds up the mailbox?

Called my sister in law Janet, she’s currently in California for the winter months. Happy Birthday to her today. We chatted for a bit just kind of catching up. Hoping to spend a couple of weeks with her and her hubby Dennis this spring or fall. It’s been a while since we’ve seen them. 

Pond located just to the side of the entry way into the park.

Dinner tonight was turkey burgers, rosemary basil veggies, onion potatoes. All cooked of course on the bbq. Excellent dinner if I do say so myself. I cooked. ~laugh~ 

Maybe less onions in the potato next time..but still good.

So as you can see nothing exciting, just regular stuff. A relaxing, enjoyable, restful day. Tomorrow will be the same thing, but Monday will be filled with errands, and packing up getting ready to hit the road on Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment. Until next time…be safe…take care,,,,,

A lazy kind of day....

We are currently in Foley, Alabama but we were without internet for a couple of weeks so the blog posts are behind. I will post them in order, a few a day. Sorry for the long dry spell.

More pics from the campground, and the zoo.

Another wonderful night for sleeping, warm, stayed in the high 50’s/13-15C over night and this morning was warm enough to open the door before 9 am. The day progressed from there getting warmer and warmer as time slipped past.

Before breakfast Riley was putting up the shades when she encountered a problem with the dining room shade, it went up crooked and we couldn’t seem to straighten it out. I’ve been saying to myself that I should fix that shade since we bought the Igloo, it’s never been quite right, the day shade part of it wasn’t straight in the holder. Always hard to put up and put down. So I went outside to my trusty little tool box and brought in my collection of screwdrivers, taking the top part of the shade off the frame by loosing two screws. We placed it on the dining room table and began by folding it up properly, after that I kind of fumbled around until I figured out how to take the end plate off the bar, pushed the day shade part of it back to center, voila, fixed. Put the plate covering back on the bar, put the screws back into the frame and bingo, we had the shade perfectly back to normal, better than when we got it. Now I wonder why I put off doing that little chore, it was so easy.  

One of the Parakeets from the zoo yesterday.

After breakfast we kind of just didn’t do a whole lot of much until about 10:30 am when we decided we should do some grocery shopping as were running low on a couple of things. Without a list we headed off to Wally’s World in Prattville and of course we forgot a number of things. ~laugh~ Should always take a list, I still forget things with a list but at least it’s not because I didn’t remember, just because I can’t read. ~laugh~

Actually we filled up with diesel at Emtech, $2.35 per gallon. The issue with the leak caused us to loose a fair bit of fuel with they having to cut the line to fix it but no leak now, so I’m happy.  We managed to find most of the things we wanted at the grocery store, those things we remembered of course, and a few things we hadn’t knew we wanted.

An American Bison. He was pretty far away but even at a distance looked huge.

We’ve been having trouble with the pots and pans drawer since we purchased the Igloo back in September. It just doesn’t seem to slide properly, it appears to be about a 1/4 inch too small and the drawer slides don’t actually work properly. I’ve been looking for some shims to place in there to take up that gap and today I found some small pieces I thought would work. Long story short, they work but not as I had hoped. They are too tight so I’ll have to look for some better fitting sizes but I”m not convinced that will solve the issue either. I think new slides may be necessary but we shall see as time goes on.

After we returned home, put away the groceries, I worked on the drawer and I also installed a file holder for our books instead of putting them on any space available. It was an easy install and we will simply slip it off the screws on moving day so it won’t interfere with the slide. I then made myself some lunch while Riley went for a walk. Sitting outside in the sunshine, eating lunch, reading my book, it was exactly what I travel to the south to do, NOT SHOVEL. ~laugh~ Short pants, sleeveless tops for all of the afternoon and I am a happy camper.

A large Anteater, his head is turned toward the fence but it was the best picture we had. He looks more like a dog than anything else. Until you see his nose, long, long and skinny.

I will admit I was lazy this afternoon and did nothing but enjoy the warmth, my book and the sun.  Shortly after 2 pm the trailers started rolling in, first one or two but then they started coming in a somewhat steady stream over the course of the afternoon and into this evening. I’m guessing probably between 12 -15 so far today. Americans are big on camping even just for the weekend. Tomorrow more will come in, we noticed reserved signs on various spots  yesterday when we walked around the campground loop. More noise this evening than usual, kids voices, fires, music, vehicles, set up noises, drills, etc. Nothing overly loud, just different than we are used to here.

Still having issues with lady bugs in the Igloo but I think we’re getting a better handle on them now, as we often spray the vents and around the windows in Riley’s room, which seems to help a great deal. Hopefully we’ll get them soon.

This is a Blue Macaw, later he was hanging on a bell they have suspended in the cage and he was ringing making it ring. 

By 5 pm here it’s starting to cool off and feels much later as it’s getting dark by then. We usually start prepping dinner around that time. We don’t start cooking until about 6:30 or 7 but we like to have it ready. Since I cook everything on the BBQ on LOW and SLOW it usually takes about an hour and 15 minutes to cook dinner. It works out great for us and we don’t mind eating later in the evening. Tonight was no exception. Started around 6:30 and brought everything in by 8 pm. Dinner tonight was Dill potatoes with onions, Basil Veggies, and chicken breasts with our good friend Roger’s super duper home made bbq sauce. We both enjoyed it a great deal but think maybe next time I’ll go a bit easier on the bbq sauce, a bit spicier than before. ~laugh~ Maybe I put it on too thick!!!

Clean up inside and outside, realized the campground is getting quieter again, and the moon is still full. Time to settle in for the night and write my blog.

Scarlet Ibis, they were a bright, bright red but seemed to turn almost orange in the picture for some reason.

A great day for us, warm, sunny, peaceful. The kind of day we enjoy. Our time is almost over here in Gunter Hill Campground in Montgomery, Al. We have enjoyed it a great deal and would return to this park, it’s spacious, quiet, picturesque and well situated to the area. We’ve found the people to be friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Way too much food but it was good.

Thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoyed your visit. Feel free to leave a comment. Until next time…be safe…take care…

Dogsled home and a day at the zoo.....

We are currently in Foley, Alabama but we were without internet connection for a couple of weeks. I will post the missing blogs in order and will be caught up in a few days. Sorry for the long dry spell.

(Jan 12, 2017 post)

A fantastic night, warm and wonderful. The day was exceptional and warmed up as it went along, we managed to get into the high 70’s/25-30 C by afternoon. Blue skies, sunny, warm breeze, it just doesn’t get any better. Perfect weather!!

One of the aviaries we visited full of various kinds, colours of Parakeets.

After breakfast we decided we’d go for a walk as we couldn’t drive, the Dogsled was still not home. We hadn’t managed to get more than to dump our garbage when my phone rang, it was Will from Will’s Automotive, Dogsled was ready. He would bring it to us, we needed to give a Credit Card number to him so he could bring a receipt of the bill as well. We hurried home to give him a call back with the number and bingo, we were now facing a day with possibilities after all. Since it would be about a half hour until the Dogsled came home we decided to take a short walk around the loop to view a few other spots that we would pick to park if we ever come back to the area. 

Dwarf Calamen

Back home we started to remove things from the basement as it was due for a cleaning. We were about half finished removing things when Will pulls up in our Dogsled followed by a fella in his truck. A bit less than $300 USD was the final bill. The issue was a rusted thru fuel heater in the line under the tank. He didn’t have one but just removed this one and put a straight thru line in it’s place. Suited me fine. He also explained the underside was very rusty and I should consider getting a different Dogsled to haul with in the future. This of course I already knew and have been browsing for a newer one already. The fella with him made a comment that  the newer ones don’t have the same hauling capacity as this one and I should look for one in good shape down in this area the same as what I have. His buddies that have newer ones think the tow capacity isn’t as good on their newer trucks. Something else to think about I guess. 

Sloth Bear

We finished cleaning out the basement, vacuumed and replaced everything, looks and smells better. ~laugh~ I also topped up the batteries with water, climbed up on the roof to ensure the panels were still in place and nothing loose or dangling. (I didn’t do this earlier as I need to remove my ladder from the Igloo ladder and it’s been too cold, damp and ugly plus I’ve been busy until today) All of our chores and work list complete we decided we would head off for the zoo today. Only debate was what to wear, too hot for this, too cool for that…..decisions, decisions.

Siamang, swinging on his ropes, having a great time. Sometimes he just used one hand.

We headed off to the Montgomery Zoo around 10:30 am, it was a mere 11 miles away. About 20 minutes of driving and we arrived at our destination. The zoo is sandwiched between two schools. I’m not sure how wise that is, the aroma on a hot day must be wonderful. ~laugh~ Plus if an animal escapes, well on a weekday they would have a target rich environment. Anyway, I thought the planning could have been a bit better. 

Momma and Jr.

The cost for the zoo was $15 USD and the museum was $7 USD. We opted for the zoo only, we’ve toured enough museums for a few days. The zoo is divided into continents. We thought about a train ride or a sky ride on a lift but instead thought walking might be best. We followed our map as best we could and eventually figured out the system. Picture taking was difficult in some areas as the glass partitions were dirty, smudged and scratched, so they weren’t glass but probably plexiglass. This resulted in glare, reflections, blurry, fuzzy pics in some cases. Also some of the exhibits have wire cages with the holes in the wire making it almost impossible to see anything in the pictures as the holes are so close together it looks more like mesh than wire.  Looking with the eye was fine but the pictures weren’t always great. So keeping that in mind, excuse some of the pictures today. 

Green Tree snake

Among the creatures we witnessed today were Parakeets, Macaws, Gazelle’s, Elephants, Ostrich, Alligators, Monkeys, Bears, Sloth Bears, Bengal Tigers, Maned Wolf, Anteaters, Canadian Lynx, Giraffes, Bison, Bonteboks,Elk, Deer, Rhino, Lions, Pygmy Hippo, cheetah, black Jaguars, Flamingos, Peacocks, Kangaroo, numerous snakes, turtles, Lizards, Geese, Bald Eagle, Condors, and ducks. I know there are more but that gives you an idea of what we viewed today. 

One of three elephants.

A few things we found interesting: something called a Maned Wolf, looks like a big red fox. Although he was sleeping and hard to see, I truly thought it was a large red fox. The color was the same, the nose was pointy not blunt and the ears were fine, pointy, smallish, not thick, blunt and large like a wolf. Sloth Bears: look similar to a black bear except around the face. It has a long sad looking face, or perhaps a sleepy looking face would be a better description. It tends to sit on it’s backside much like a human instead of on it’s haunches. Numerous varieties of Monkeys included the Emperor Tamarin which had a huge handlebar type mustache of a different color than it’s body and tail. The tail and body were different colours from each other as well. It was like a three toned body. ~laugh~ Black handed spider monkeys were more social with each other, and seemed very clannish compared to the other monkeys we seen.

Cheetah and Black Jaguars (this black kitty was the cub)

 Many of the animals were grouped in one large area, while others had only one animal per area. We walked thru a couple of aviaries with parakeets and Ibis as well as other birds that were just wandering around and flitting back and forth over head. We enjoyed the vast variety of monkeys, one particular black Siamang was enjoying his ropes, swinging and changing ropes as easily as could be. Riley was concerned that the Peacocks were just flying/walking around, not in cages. I think she thought everything should be caged. ~laugh~

Bonetok

We noticed a number of turtles and Canadian Geese in many of the areas, as well as ducks. The Geese I’m sure just landed there and stayed for the winter but the others seemed to be totally at home among the animals as well. We did see a huge Alligator Snapping Turtle, not as big as Big Al from Riverquarim in Albany, but still pretty big. 

Great Indian Rhinoceros and a Canada Goose

Monty the Pygmy Hippo and the cub were cute and snuffled a lot. Their hides looked almost indestructible. Tough, leathery, thick. Similar but different than the Great Indian Rhino who’s hide appeared to be almost armor like with thick plates of outer hide covering various parts of the body. It too looked thick, leathery but tougher some how. More like an alligator but still different in some way. Similar to the back of a turtle shell but again, different in some way. 

Banteng (like the cow type thing seen in MASH)

We wrapped up our tour of the zoo by around 1:30 and headed home. Such a wonderfully warm afternoon we both sat outside reading for a couple of hours. Inside for a nap to catch up on some much needed sleep I guess. ~laugh~ I do wear out from all this activity. 

Monty and cub are Pygmy Hippos

It was nice enough for Riley to have the big door open while I BBQ’ed dinner, but I was in long pants, a heavy sweater and shoes. It was warm, 61 F/16C  according to the thermometer but I found it cool.

Yummy...

Dinner was Dill Potatoes with onions, Garlic Veggies, and Southern Peach BBQ sauced chicken breast. Mmmm it was delicious.

Clean up inside and out, some pics of the moon with my phone camera but didn’t turn out. The moon is full and peeking thru the trees it was nice to see. Critters in the wooded area between sites caused me to get my flash light out to ensure I had no company while cooking dinner. ~laugh~ Some shiny eyes made me think probably coons or opossums instead of squirrels which are many thru the daytime. I don’t think squirrel eyes shine but then again I don’t know. ~laugh~

Inside to edit some pictures from the zoo, we took 352 pics today. Now I go thru them, edit, sort, discard, and label them. That’s a lot of pictures. ~laugh~

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit. Until next time…be safe, take care……
