Parade Movie . . .

I hope this works . . . if not . . . sorry!

Parade

Last year I went to the . . . so long, now I forgot . . . think it was the fourth of July parade.  It was on a "date" and no it didn't go anywhere after that.  I wanted to take my own car, and he said he'd leave whenever I wanted to, which of course didn't work out because I didn't want to disturb his enjoyment of the parade.  So I ended up sitting in the hot sun for hours longer than I wanted to . . . it was a long, slow parade!  As for the pictures . . . horses and more horses!  What did you expect!!??!!  (The movie on the next post is not of horses!

Out of Africa - twice

There is a place about an hour away from here called Out of Africa.  When I first moved to town, I spent a pleasant day there with my neighbors.  Then, a year later, I went with a friend.  Both times, it was an enjoyable experience.  The advertisement for this place says something like . . . call us anything you want, but don't call us a zoo.  The animals here have extremely large enclosures, and are well cared for.  Most of them are tame.  The owners live on premises and the animals are pretty much their pets.  They are awesome.  The last time I went, two of the demonstrations were given by one of the owners.  It was very cool.

A giraffe taking a treat from my mouth.  I LOVE this kind of stuff!

I really like zebras.  Ostriches are cool, too!

This was the tiger show.  They get the tigers into this enclosure in front of the audience, and then play with them with inflatable toys (that the tigers destroy, but they have fun doing it) to get them into the water.  Tigers love to swim.  They also hug the tigers a lot.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that.








Did you know that I used to work with lions and tigers and other wild animals?  Here is a picture of me at about twenty years old with my friend, Dee, and her pet tiger, BC.  Me and my ex-husband babysat the tiger for her on this night.

Police dogs and spinning wheels . . .

The police dog demonstration was at "The Square" in downtown Prescott.  They have lots of offerings there during the summer . . . pretty much every weekend.  I used to go to a lot of them when I first moved to town.  Now, not so much.

There is a cool place called the Sharlot Hall Museum in town.  It's like an old village from the nineteenth century . . . old houses, a school house, exhibits.  And they often have activities there demonstrating life back then, or festivals, or other cool stuff.  The woman with the spinning wheel was working during one of the many awesome presentations.  As a matter of interest, the following year when I returned to this event, (I told you I lapped myself!) I saw another woman at the spinning wheel taking a break with a cell phone in her hand.  I wanted to take a picture of that because I loved the irony.  But she wouldn't let me!!

I have lapped myself!

Okay, so it's been a year since I've updated this blog.  To say I'm sorry wouldn't really be enough.  So, I'll just get on with it.  I've done lots in the past year, had a great time, and still living happily ever after in Arizona, with Moki.  Life is grand.  I appreciate my blessings every single day.

I'm going to post lots of pics and a couple movies with a brief description of what they show.  I'll put them in separate posts so the content doesn't overwhelm your email.

This is fake, but I like the way it looks!
