Man from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas gave a 2-hour talk about the Zoo and brought 4 animals with him that he gave much history and how the near-extinct animals are being taken care of. Phyllis, as Activity Director, has lined up two VIP tours at the zoo where we will be taken behind the scenes where the animals are fed, cared for, etc. One in January and one tour in February.
Phyllis coordinated a lighted golf cart, RC car, bicycle, & other, parade Friday night. These photos were taken as the entries were getting their numbers and various ladies were doing their judging. It started at six o'clock when it was getting dark and drove around much of the park.

Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon Phyllis hosted the Wednesday night Pegs & Jokers group at our place. At left - Lyle Winter from Minnesota, Bobi Raab from Minnesota, Butch Giesking from Iowa, & Phyllis Miles from Iowa
At left - Bob Raab, his daughter Mary Jo Baeken, Lyle Winter, and Bobi Raab, all from Minnesota

Afterwards we had sloppy joe sandwiches that Bobi had brought along with vegies and chips. LaRhoda Nehere is at far left (not pictured above)
GROANER’S CORNER:(( An old blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake…He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, ‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?’ The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, ‘Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl with a ‘Billy-Club’.
3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
‘Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy…. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?’
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, ‘No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’
