SHE DREAMED OF A HOUSEBOAT
SAILING THE WATERS OF THE BAYOU
TO AND FRO SHE WOULD FLOAT
DOCKING AT EXOTIC PLACES
MEETING NEW PEOPLE
MUCH TO HER DISMAY THIS BOAT
COULD NOT EVEN FLOAT TO THE 
MOAT

I found this trunk
While plundering in the attic
I was certain it was full of junk
However, I admired the craftmanship.
As I carefully opened it,
I wondered if something would jump out at me
 I must say I was very happy there was nothing alive
especially a
SKUNK

Friend to night owls
Lights up exact space
All sizes and shapes
Some are worn on the head
Handy 
Look at that happy expression
Imagination is sparked when reading under cover
Grand to have in every room
Happy Shadows 
Torch to some

Years ago while at Busch Gardens
our inner child came out.
I don't like roller coaster 
Bryan wanted to ride the Big Bad Wolf

😨😱
Rules were posted by the ride
height, health conditions and weight
I am a rule follower.  I tried to use
all as excuses...he said POOH to all of them.
Just once he said ....
OMCs let me just say it was the most fun we rode it 4 times in a row.
First ride I didn't open my eyes

Below are some of the pictures I took of it

Cars hang from under the track


Then off you go.....for a wild ride thru the canopy of trees
the next 3 times all my senses enjoyed the ride
eyes
smell
breeze 
my tummy tickled from all the giggling
As you pass over the water your feet are just 3 or 4' 


This ride is no longer at Busch Gardens

I have just a wee true loo story..
When I was a child my parents, and I were invited to supper at
their friend's home.  Of course, like all little girls,
a loo visit was required. Imagine my surprise
when into the loo I go...oh my it was all black

sink, floor, loo, tub and shower with gold fixtures.

When gainfully EMPLOYED,
I thoroughly enjoyed my work.
However being DEPLOYED 
to an (HR) meeting
Made my mind's eye EXPLODE
leaving me no choice except to 
stare at the back of my eyelids.
Dreaming of Calgon** taking me away.

** for you youngsters Calgon mixed with water made for a very nice bubble bath.

Plush furs
Our at NC Zoological Park...they love balls
Long useful nails
Attraction at the zoo
Rolly poly: males over 1,500 lb, female 800 lb

Black skin under their white fur
Ears tiny
Appearance is cumbersome but they are agile
