All I have to say is "you have to see this"!!! This weekend had a few things happening in the Tampa Bay Area, and I couldn't decide if I would spend it with the step-family "St. Pete" or stay home with the family. I opted to go to Lowry Park Zoo and I have to tell you, I loved it.

Every parent or person living should go see the Penguins hit the Beach. This is a fun filled zoo that is reasonable and very enjoyable.

The little wobblers were really delightful and I was secretly wishing no one would notice if I just tucked one of the cute properly tuxed guys in my bag. I am quite sure Jeannie and Jake (the pet Geese I have) would have eaten it for dinner.

After visiting the other animals, I dragged myself BACK to say goodbye to my new found friends. I promised to tell all my friends and bring them snails from my favorite restaurant.

The only thing that would have topped this off was hearing one of my favorite bands play at the Zoo. I really love the Bandshell performances that feature awesome local bands.. .

If you need me, I will be hanging out by the Peng's...

Have you noticed that 3 weekends have everything going on, then its a lull? Do I really want to drive to Pinellas for fun? Answer is.NO. So much to offer and what is going on? I plan on hitting the Art Exhibit and maybe if I feel the urge some sort of dinner/club who the heck am I kidding, it will be the same ole thing.

Actually this just came me to... the restaurant Spain has the show on the weekend... hmm Flamenco dancers. It's something to see if you have never seen it, and the food is awesome !

Anyone else have any ideas?

My heart aches for this Deputy Sheriff and the family of this brave policeman. I am kind of partial to the military and the Law Enforcement folks. It's a job that most can't do, and only some try.

So whom-ever you pray to, please include him in your prayers. Senseless shooting over drugs.

As the story unfolds, it has been reported that the suspect has been arrested. GOOD. Thank goodness the law enforcement family didn't have to wonder who else will become a victim.

May God Bless the Deputy who took a bullet; and return him to his family in one piece. Bless the department that will emotionally feel this pain, and give them strength to continue their fight in the War on Drugs.
