No one to tell us what kind of mailbox we can have or that we can't park our RV in our driveway. I know we have to drive to town and don't have any (well DQ) restaurants close to go eat at but we gladly give all that up to have our freedom here. Funny when with you talking about zoos, living where there are so many rules you feel like you live in one. Or at least I did when we lived in town. <br />Get some rest and don't over do it.<br />You are making great headway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143950983476086003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-18899864465923893382013-02-27T23:23:29.463-05:002013-02-27T23:23:29.463-05:00Always a great feeling to get even a little bit do...Always a great feeling to get even a little bit done. I have had ironing in my kitchen since um, Saturday? ::laughing:: but I get a few shirts done everyday and who cares, I see the pile getting smaller and my closet filling up. It's all good. :) <br />It's important to rest when your body tells you to. We may want to do more, but that sleep is needed, and naps are a good thing. Drives me nutz to sleep in the middle of the day now, but if I didn't I would be in bed for the night before 7 pm. A little afternoon siesta never hurt a thing. :)<br /> <br />You make a great point about zoos. I get a little sad everytime I visit the one here in DC, but I guess the purpose is there. Ours is a research zoo, so a lot of advances are made in sustaining species in the wild, but it doesn't mitigate the fact that the animals are unnaturally caged in captivity. I wonder, really what is the answer.<br /> <br />I hope you get your beautiful weather Friday and a nice drive to visit some of the places you mentioned. I know one of the reasons I do like to look at prospective homes [I hate house hunting] is because we get to drive through the mountains of VA and WV. It may be winter, but the views never cease to take my breath away.<br />Sweet dreams! xo SkipSkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-77841130108800646472013-02-27T23:00:10.371-05:002013-02-27T23:00:10.371-05:00There ought to be a ban on roadside zoos! that'...There ought to be a ban on roadside zoos! that's animal cruelty. I know that laws have been passed and people will be punished for cruelty to animals.<br /><br />I remember those horrible little kiosks with painted turtles! they finally outlawed that .. I hated the shopping malls with the fishing tanks! good lord!<br /><br />Well bummer on your inspection stuff.... I'd hate that too. I know when we moved into our house .. we live in the city limits of Little Rock... all kinds of thises and thats.<br /><br />Soooo I reckon no matter where you are ... there are rules. I can't even park an RV at my house ... <br /><br />Even on BLM land ... you have to move every 14 days? or well? it's always something... sigh<br /><br />Be interesting to see the changes at the Park! Would you sell? and become mobile again?Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-35864032244361937202013-02-27T22:54:14.787-05:002013-02-27T22:54:14.787-05:00Love those last three words.

You are right of course about some places that make homes for wild animals who cannot be returned to the wild (we think) are better than others. Just seems like a game reserve in their native land would be a better place than anywhere here in this country.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.com
