Well......Surprise! I'm gonna be an Aunt again!!!!
Ruby is gonna be a big sister, and she's gonna be a good one! She's already a bossy redhead. She must get that from her daddy! We're all excited and hoping for a boy or maybe a girl. Either will work. We have to wait a while though. The baby won't show til around the first of November.
I think it might be a long hot summer for my sis-in-law!!!

A Day at the Zoo
This week was spring break. Sis #2 and kids came over for a visit. Our sis-in-law suggested a trip to the Zoo in OKC. This would be Ruby's first trip to see the animals. Sounds like a good idea, right?
WRONG!!!!!!
Apparently, it was a record attendance day at the OKC Zoo. In addition to our little group of 11, there were 17, 989 other poor folks! We were there 2 hours before we even saw an animal. Part of that was our own doing, but the masses helped. Any time you are in a zoo for 4 hours and can count on 2 hands the number of animals one sees it's a bad sign.
Here's the breakdown:
4 gorillas
1 aurangatane(yes, I know it's spelled wrong)
2 elephants
1 hippo
3 rhinos
It was just too crowded to try anything else!
The new elephant exhibit just opened. There's a long zig-zag ramp leading up to this big lookout area to see several pens of elephants. I saw 2 on our way up and that was it. They were on their way back inside. When we got to the top Jessie Jane lost her hat to the wind. It's now part of the exhibit. Mine would've joined it, but my hair was in a bun and it couldn't really fly off!
So...needless to say.....the zoo trip was a bust. Heed my warning....... NEVER GO TO THE ZOO ON SPRING BREAK!!!!
That's my public service announcement for this month.

The Polar Express
It's kinda the wrong time of year to be watching a Christmas movie, but it's cold and windy outside, so why not???
Sis #2 brought "The Polar Express" when they came over for Christmas. Needless to say there wasn't much time for watching movies. She left it with me on Dec. 26th and told me to watch it. I'm always obedient even if it's delayed.
Hoss came down to my house this evening. We played some Go Fish. We ate some popcorn. Then we decided to watch a movie. He wanted to watch "Scooby Doo Meets Batman and Robin", again for the 100th time. I said nope. We need to watch something different. He wasn't up for "Toby Tyler" and never has been. Don't know what's up there. He didn't want to watch "The Love Bug" or "The Colt" either. I ran across the forgotten Christmas movie. It was the choice. He said this would be the 13th time for him to watch this flick. Wow, he's only 7.
Oh my! That was one good movie!!! Call me crazy, but by the time we were half way through I was ready to get out my tree and decorations! Thankfully, by the time it was over, I had come to my senses. I would officially be the "nut job" of the family if I got out the ol' tree in March!!!
So......along about December 1, I'll be wanting to watch this classic again! You should too!
