Fun In The Works.....

Cee and I are talking a couple times every day and letting each other know how our packing is coming along and any other things that happen regarding our trip.

I found a bathing suit today.  It's cute and may actually look better on a young person but I thought it was adorable and bought it anyway.  It's black with rows of ruffles down the front of the top.  It ties in the back (so the back is open) and around the neck.  The bottom has a skirt made of a couple rows of ruffles and covers the worst of the scars on my legs.  I also bought a new purse, which I desperately needed.  My denim one was about 5 years old and looked it.  I had hoped to find another (soft) denim purse but I guess they aren't in style in this area.  Oh well.  It will work for me once I get used to the new areas to keep things.

I spoke with my girlfriend, Marilyn, and told her about our planning on going to Brookfield Zoo on Thursday and she is going to join us!  That will be fun.  She is such a nut and I just love her laugh.  Cee is also invited to join me and my friends for our reunion on Sunday (and my birthday surprise!  *cringe*).  A couple of the girls have met her and they say she will fit right in with the rest of us nuts.

I also talked with my bff, Carol.  She said in an email that she tried a couple times to call me but she always runs into the same problem.  It rings once and then cuts off.  Weird.  For a while, it actually connected to a weird company instead of my phone.  I then called her and managed to get through to her.  We talked for about a half an hour.  She is such a sweetheart.  She sent me some money for my birthday to ensure that we have a good time.  It was a wonderful thing for her to do.  I really appreciated it.  And we WILL have a good time.  I promised to take some pictures of the gorillas and such and post them on my blog when we get home.  She loves the great apes.  Even Marilyn said she wants to see them especially.

I'm tired since I didn't get much sleep today and no nap.  The girls were great today and laid 11 eggs.  Three of them are the large size, too.  The others are still only mediums but that will change as they all mature.  I made some egg salad while the Beast was at the wedding taking pictures.  They came out great, in case you are interested.  Everyone will be pleased when they see them.  He printed up a big print of the bride and groom which is wonderful.  Not only do they look especially happy but they look wonderful.  The exposure is fantastic.  


Well, I'm off to bed.  Cee will be spending tomorrow night here with us so we can get going early (by early, I mean around 9am).  I plan on getting up with the Beast before I wake Cee and making us Denver omelets.  I already have the ingredients cut up and ready.  I'll just need to scramble the eggs for each.

Love you all.  Be kind.  You will be repaid in the most unexpected ways.  Trust me on this.  ***Hugs***
