Things for which my sister is too tall.
Over the last couple of months that I’ve been visiting my family (it’s been an extended visit, what can I say?), I’ve discovered a growing list of things for which my sister is too tall. They include, but are not limited to: Disney World (starting with the tram from the parking lot, and including many…

Horror Hotel VINDICATION
So, the AWESOME HOTEL where E and I wound up not staying now has put pending charges on my account that amount to FOUR NIGHTS worth of stays… when we didn’t even stay ONCE. I understand that they charged me for ONE night, since I didn’t cancel until 8pm (because I didn’t want to get…

Horror hotel update
So, I decided I wanted some photos for my last blog post (which you can see here). It wasn’t all that far out of the way from dinner tonight, so E and I stopped by, thinking we could just pull into the parking lot again, like last night. I slowed down to make the turn……

Kitties filmed themselves
The other day I got home from the zoo, went to take a shower, and came back to find one of the kitties playing with my phone. I tried to take a photo of her, but it didn’t work, so I left again… but I the camera feature stayed on it seems and the kitties…

Making Friends in a Small World
I can’t think of anything to write about today. It was a busy, productive day but not in the interesting way that some days are, more in the pick-axing the lion exhibit for an hour and a half and getting lots of cleaning and chores done sort of way. I did make a new friend,…

At the Mad Hatter Tea
I finally got my photos edited and uploaded from the Mad Hatter tea party last weekend. You can see them at my photo blog, though I’ll post a couple of favorites here. Many of the photos are either of me or of my friend’s daughter, mostly because I didn’t take many photos of the actual…
