A windy but sunny day, Rather on the cool side. It was 27 degrees when we got up. Now it is 58 degrees. We still feel the coolness in the house. Our house stays cool, so hope that it stays cool this summer. I have the heat on 68 to 72 degrees. Heat rises so the upstairs is comfortable but a bit cool downstairs.
I hope you had a good weekend. We sure did. My Great Grandson, Chael, was here visiting. He is such a fine young man, tall, good looking, helpful, cheerful, and polite. Oh, yes, smart too. He helped do a few thing around the house, like put thing is the upper cupboards without needing a stool or ladder, swept out the carport, moved a couple of things from the carport to the front porch , put all our collected yard sale items in the shed, etc. All is and was greatly appreciated.
In the afternoon we took him to the Little Ponderosa Zoo. It had grown and had been rearranged since we were last there, so a bit more walking and more animals to appreciate. There were some new little Nangerian goats that are so cute and so funny. Of course there are a whole lot more animals…Bison, Tiger, kangaroos, deer, goats, sheep, zebras, monkeys, birds, lizards, snakes, and more. It was a fun and interesting trip to the zoo.
The Ponderosa Zoo is an animal rescue zoo. If ever in the neighborhood, East Tennessee, Anderson County, I hope you can make time to visit this remarkable zoo. They have wagons you can rent to place small children in in case they get tired of walking. The have motorized scooters for the ones unable to walk all that far. They have a space for large groups for meetings or birthday parties, etc. The have a gift shop that is dedicated to stuff animals, tee shirts, small knick knacks, magnets, post cards, and such. They depend on donations as they have no grants, etc. The veterinary department at the University of Tennessee voluntaries there and is the medical people who take care of the animals. Occasionally they will have ones to adopt, such a parakeets. The zoo is fantastic, educational and fun. Yes, you can feed and or pet a lot of the animals. The camels love you to give them snacks as do the goats and deer. Treats are their favorite and will gather just “be first”.
Wah’s House Hold Hints: GREASE SPOTS: When grease spots still linger on cottons after laundering, cover the soiled area with cornstarch and pass a warm iron over it several times. Brush off, & the spot will disappear.”
Have a great rest of you Monday. Make it a cheerful, productive, and fun day.
