Yah!! They're finally there!!! Tried to call Leslie earlier today, so she was probably busy driving.
We all just got back from Cat Tales, which is a zoo of only large cats. Took lots of pictures. There was a beautiful, huge, white tiger!! Then we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream.

Good morning (?) Bill (The time on this PC is different from yours, or mine at home, or the posts on here...so I don't really know who's typing when.)
Oh yeah, I remember all of that now. Did you go see or listen to any of it, to keep away the "lonlies" ?

Shirley ......if you put some dang meat on your bones , you might get warm... You tell her Dodge I am glad you got to go swimming Shirls,, I guess your family isn't used to that heat there since they did come from Seattle,, I 'd hate to see their elec bill tho maybe if you wear your jacket they'd get a clue how cold you really are?? How was the Melting Pot or ... have you gone there yet??

Here are some pictures,, this is a hornet nest Bill spotted as he was driving,, you can't tell how really big it is,, and there are hornets outside of it, I'd say it was the size of a balloon,, , I'm just glad we were far enough away from it they didn't catch our scent, Me and Mysst in the hummingbird house this is a Jaw bone in a tree stump, Cindy spotted as Bill was driving,, Bill stopped and retrieved it :"A Brennan Treasure" :wink: He guessed it was a deer jaw someone place there

more from above this was one smart squirrel he/she ( ) un latched the suet cage and went digging for seeds,, But Bill Fix him/her and latched it back and turn it around so it couldn't do it again,, I tried repeatedly to capture a good picture of a hummingbird,, I saw sooo many of them from morning to dust,, it was awesome to see close up as I had only seen one in my life for just a slit second,, this was the best picture I got they fly away as quick as they come
