The Weekend

Just a quick note about the weekend that is ahead. I am so excited about it. We are all going to Johnson City for a wine tasting and then on to an exotic animal farm. I love animals. I love zoos and the chance to be close to the animals and feed them and pet them.

One of my favorite weekends was when we all went to Lion Country Safari in Waco. We spent the whole day there. In fact we were in front of the feed wagon in the morning so all the animals were hungry and happy to see us. We had our cups of food and got to feed them. One of the deer was so hungry that he stuck his head in the window. Scared me good. But looking into those beautiful eyes was wonderful. We saw all the animals and the shows and petted and fed to our hearts content. Then after a restful sleep, we went to the Waco zoo before we went home. It was a lovely small zoo and we got to watch the otters swim around and play. Once again we got to feed and pet the animals. It was a perfect weekend for me and my family.

So tomorrow Serif gets to go to her first petting zoo. I can't wait to see her eyes when she see these animals. Maybe she'll even be able to feed them, but probably not because she thinks everything should go into her mouth. I really enjoy spending time with my family and this should be great.

Then Saturday night I have to bake a birthday cake for my baby. I can't believe she is going to be 29 on Saturday. It seems like just yesterday she was crawling up on my lap and now she's a grown woman and mother. She wants a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I will make that and then Sunday will be the family get together to celebrate her birthday.

It's going to be a busy weekend but a good one. Of course any weekend I spend with my wonderful family is good. I'll fill you in on everything on Monday. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend.
