If You're Looking

for juicy stuff, you won't find it here. Yes, someone wrote about me on their blog. I'm aware of it.

Instead I'm going to blog about my day.
I took my sister in law to the zoo, along with my son, and we hiked all over the place. We were there for 6 hours. I'd brought my new cane along in case I might need it. Boy, am I glad I did! Because I put it to good use.

I have a moderate sunburn, even though the zoo has a lot of shade. It was worth it because I got to spend time with my sister in law. The zoo has a new thing. For $10 you can buy a wristband that gets you into all the not-free attractions. (The St. Louis Zoo has free admission) So we rode the train, saw a movie, went on the new carousel, visited the insectorium, and took a virtual reality cruise across a volcanic island.
This is all stuff I never would have done on my own.
We also looked at lions and tigers and bears. The children's zoo (another wristband freebie)has a naked mole rat display. I didn't know they were so tiny. My sister in law has her P.H.D. in biology, and she taught us a lot today.

Yesterday was spent at a big to-do for my (step?)father in law. It was kind of strange to sit near people I've seen on TV. I don't want to talk too much about my (step)father in law. He's an amazing man, but he's also a rather private man. I'm glad that I have the good fortune of knowing him.
