After the Zoo

It was a busy day , besides shopping and the zoo we stopped at Johnny Carinos in Brownsville for a late lunch. Our nice waiter informed us that in 15 minutes it would be happy hour and many items would have special prices. So we study the menu and make our choices.


Pannini Sandwiches and Salad were delicious.
We sit and chat and had a great leisurely lunch and decide that a return trip will be soon.

Five PM finds Connie and Mary at the pool , the first time in many days due to the colder weather. The water was a good temperature and the Hot Tub was nice and cozy. We had the pool all to ourselfs due to the supper hour . Talk and talk and never stay still. Back and forth ,back and forth we go.

OH yes, Connie's hair is starting to grow..A very good sign..

Great day for the zoo

Connie, Bob and Mary made a long overdue trip to the zoo and were greeted by Noel a baby camel born December 6, 2007. She is very sweet and we got to feed her a bottle.

On the way to the zoo we stopped at the SaS Shoe Factory Store and there was a crowd of seniors on a bus trip from Tip Of Texas RV park in the Valley. Most of the men drank coffee and sat in the rocking chairs munching popcorn while the women shopped.

While we were wandering around the Zoo we noticed the Entrance Gate had a line waiting to get in. Checking further we discover it is the same group we left at SaS Shoes. They were on a Day Bus Trip doing fun things in the Valley. We had some nice conversations with many of them. Connie and Mary told all they knew about the Gorilla family. They felt a bit like tour guides.



Every one sing now::: Getting to know you , getting to know all about you..


Hummmm I think I want this hat.



What is back here? Can I get this shirt too?



DO NOT FEED>>

-Tired of being harassed because I have not blogged in so long, I will say right now DO NOT PAY THE RANSOM and call off the dogs because I have escaped and am alive and well..

Getting that off my chest I will back up to Christmas and show a picture of our table and how nice the hall looked for our Christmas dinner.[our table].


Next comes News Years Eve , There were about 30 of us at the game room for our "Elite" social gathering..

Gathering around the tables and deciding what the game for each table will be. I am guessing Bud and Evelyn are hosting because in a couple of pictures they are standing and talking to everyone.



Connie and Bud and "their" group are playing Texas hold Em.

Here in Texas there a lots and lots of fireworks all evening long and at midnight the sky lights up like fourth of July...The weather was mild and everyone stood outside and watched. Hugs and kisses then clean up and home by 12:30 AM..

At 1 AM Connie and Mary are in the Hot Tub and making phone calls to unsuspecting relitivies that are in the western US. Happy New Year to All.


Connie even got silly and posed for this photo without her hat. She looks so cute.
