USF, St Pete, Sep 13

Jen and I went to Leah's new school, USF, St Pete, for a talk about the illustrations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Wow, great talk and great looking school! I sure hope Leah learns to love it and appreciates how lucky she is to be getting an education at such a wonderful place.

Busch Gardens, June 4

Thanks to my Veteran status, every year I get four free tickets to either Busch Gardens or Sea World. Last year I invited Donna, Gerald, and Leah to Sea World. That was smack dab in the middle of the Covid pandemic and what a night mare. 😱Or maybe Sea World is always a night mare, I'm not sure. The service was just horrible and the lines were hours long. It took us nearly two hours to get lunch and I swear, the employees were working in slow motion. It was like everyone had the Covid brain fog.

It was so beautiful that they were stopping more as well, so it felt a little more leisurely. The wildflowers were amazing, and I loved all the stone walls. They were lining every road and field.  Such friendly cows. Whereas the sheep completely ignored us, or slowly walked away when we approached, as soon I stopped to take a picture, all of these cows stood up and came to the fence. They must receive regular treats from the neighbors. The FL group, minus Vinny. They caught up with me before this point, but we were leap frogging the entire time. My bike on the trip. I loved it!!
