Volunteering at the Fort Worth Zoo in MOLA
Today was my second day volunteering at the Fort Worth Zoo. Schools were all off for President’s Day, the weather was in the 70’s with a prediction of rain, but if it rained at all, it was just sprinkles. My first day last week was very quiet, it was cold and cloudy, so there were…

My New Venture – Training To Be A Ballroom Dance Teacher
Back in July, my dance studio put out a notice that they were looking to train new dance teachers. Teaching dance is something that I have considered, but thought that I was not qualified to teach, so I never pursued it. Besides that, I really didn’t know how to do it, and to do it…

Visiting Gus, Belle and Bowie at the Fort Worth Zoo 4-27-2016
First of all, I noticed that I haven’t written anything for many many months! I have thought about it, but just haven’t had the chance to sit down and write. As usual for this time of year, I am immersed in flamenco. I can’t say that I’m a flamenco dancer, I’m more of a stage…

Belle and Bowie Are Growing Up!
I finally got back to the zoo today, it’s been months since I’ve been there to see the babies because of my flamenco rehearsals and everything else that I’ve been doing. It was 98 degrees out with only 8% humidity, so for me, the weather was perfect. I don’t normally go on Sundays because of…

On Wednesday, January 22, 2014, I took a small trip to the zoo. It’s been weeks since I’ve seen the babies, I’ve had so much going on with my dance showcase at the YMCA with rehearsals and performances. I did stop by the day after my performance on January 15, but it was…

Another Visit to the Fort Worth Zoo
This morning I stopped by the zoo to see the babies. I saw the Meerkats on the way there, they are always looking around and so much fun to watch. Then I stopped by Casey, the one-tusked male Asian elephant, he was eating his morning hay. It was early and the females and babies weren’t…

Back To See The Babies At The Fort Worth Zoo
Yesterday (Sunday, 10.13.2013) I wanted to go to the zoo and noticed that my zoo membership card was missing. I searched all over and couldn’t find it. They gave me a day pass just in case I found the card. I went with my husband Tom, and got him a membership too. We got to…
