19 October ~2009

My Sister is sensitive about her picture being taken, and thinks that hiding behind a napkin will keep it from being displayed on the internet.

She drives a Prius and comes and meets me and Mom for coffee sometimes after my shift at horse rescue.

I have never gotten over the enjoyment of teasing my older Sister. One of the highlights of my youth was putting a big toad in the sink while she was washing the dishes, and waiting for her to discover it swimming around in the soapsuds.

And speaking of Mom, I got tickets for her and I to see the Ringling Brothers circus, in the front row. I didn't tell her what they cost, knowing that that would ruin it for her, that I spent so much money.

The Ringmaster came up and took the camera that was hung around my neck. I thought 'Oh crap, am I not supposed to be taking pictures.?' He just wanted it to take a picture of me and Mom. She doesnt like her pictures either, but II think she looks awful good at a month from 84:

It really is a good circus, and I hope the animal rights group's lawsuits are not successful in keeping elephants and tigers out of it. Maybe there were a few bad handlers, and some oversight is needed.

I thought the elephant trainer in this circus was fantastic. It's not hard to see why. She seemed like an effective trainer also.

Mom had a really good time, and kept talking about it for days. she said she liked the tigers the best. I don't think she has been to the circus before, and I had not been since my daughters were little.
