My friends leave - boo hoo

Well Donna and Joyce left this morning after being here a month. I'm really going to miss having them as neighbors. We did a lot of sightseeing and I saw things I've not seen since I moved here. Carole and I are going to try to visit the East coast the summer of 2010. That will give me a year to save up for the trip.

We went to the zoo Wednesday. As much as I love to see the animals up close I hate seeing them confined in such small spaces. I've been thoroughly spoiled by the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, both of which give the animals large open spaces to roam in. Now I'll start working on our March trip to the Texas coast.
