Here is our challenge for today 

This is a story not a poem about 

The Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens

I am not a fan of roller coasters or ferris wheels.

I don't like heights and I especially don't like heights that curve and turn at odd angles.

Many years ago when we were younger we went to Busch Gardens.  At the time there were numerous roller coasters just like this.  My husband wanted  to ride at least one. 

In 2018 I  had a post about this ride here is are a few photos

No way, I said I'll wait for you.

Then we spied the Big Bad Wolf.  

 We watched it many many times as it started off in this lovely setting meandering through trees calmly.......It was totally different from any roller coaster.  Not high, no curves and twists.  It was built so that the cars were mounted under the tracks.  I agreed to ride it. 

 

My husband kept telling me to open my eyes.  I replied, NOPE I can only handle one sensation at a time and right now it is FEELING...don't need to SEE. 

At one point the tracks passed over a lake.  He said LOOK,  A few more inches and our feet could have have touched the water just passed these trees  

OMCs/OMDs it was so much fun we rode it 4 times in a row.  I thoroughly enjoyed feeling and seeing every inch of the ride.

Happy Tuesday with Rocky and Cali and Nat'l Friends Day

Thank you to our 

Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus  

Recently I asked Kit how Kat, Rocky and Cali are doing

She replied, "Cali has free range of the house until bedtime, then she’s with me. Kat is happy to give her all the space she needs, but poor Rocky wants to play, & she’s not ready!  Rocky says, “Please be my friend!” 

and sent this video WHICH IS ADORABLE

I love at the end how their noses touch thru the glass

Dearest Rocky.....and Cali

What a darling video....noses touched at the end was priceless.  Rocky bless your ginger heart. I thank you are quite looking a break thru very very soon.  You were very close.  At least Cali didn't try to swat at you.

Awww Monday Mushrooms and Sparks

We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thursday July 25 we had a gully washer, frog choker and dang near a

flood in the back yard.  1.5" of rain fell in 1 1/2 hours

July showers gave us a crop of mushrooms 

It rained every day the week of July 22-26, our grass guy hasn't been able to cut the grass either.
