HAPPY ST PARTICK'S DAY
A BEAUTIFUL BAGPIPER WITH WONDERFUL SCENES FROM IRELAND A ST PATTY'S POEM THE HISTORY OF ST PATTY'S DAY TOP OF THE DAY TO YOU ! May you always have Walls for the winds, A roof for the rain, Tea beside the fire, Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you, And all your heart might desire! When Irish eyes are smiling, Tis like a morn in spring. With a lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing When Irish hearts are happy All the world is bright and gay When Irish eyes are smiling Sure, they steal your heart away. May your blessings outnumber The shamrocks that grow, And may trouble avoid you Wherever you go. May the best day of your past Be the worst day of your future. I'm looking over a four leaf clover That I overlooked before One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain, Third is the roses that grow in the lane. No need explaining the one remaining Is somebody I adore. I'm looking over a four leaf clover That I overlooked before. May you live to be a hundred years With one extra year to repent. May those who love us, love us And those who don't love us, May God turn their hearts And if he can't turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles So we will know them by their limping! As you slide down the banister of life, May the splinters never point in the wrong direction! May luck be our companion May friends stand by our side May history remind us all Of Ireland's faith and pride. May God bless us with happiness May love and faith abide. Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums A thousand welcomes when anyone comes. That's the Irish for you!

WHAT I DO AT THE ZOO IS AMAZING
This is a video of what I do at the zoo. ( the exact thing the narrator of this video is doing) This video is of our zoo & the most recent upgrades the memphis zoo has made. THE TETON TRECK LODGE AND EXHIBIT HE SHOWS YOU IN THIS VIDEO IS FINISHED NOW AND THE WOLVES AND BROWN BEARS LIVE IN THE HABITAT. THE LODGE IS AWESOME AND WHERE THEY HAVE MUSIC, DINNER AND DRINKS ON THURSDAY NIGHTS CALLED UNPLUGGED. AN AWESOME PLACE TO GO RELAX AND SIT IN FRONT OF THE FIRE FOR AN EVENING OF FUN FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT.
I was nose to nose with the white 2000 lb. Polar Bear in this video today. It's amazing how the zoo keepers interact with these wild animals on command. They take shots, get rubbed, all kinds of things just on command without any drugs to put them out. You haven't had excitement until you squat down in a polar bear's face & exchange breaths as you look each other in the eyes with nothing between you & them. I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THESE EXPERIENCES OR STOP DOING THEM UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.
Besides going out and teaching like this guy is doing in this video. I get to go where the zoo keepers go to feed and work on and with the animals. I get to go where they prepare their food and do all the things that they do with them. Most amazing thing I've ever experienced.
I HAVE FOUND MY FOREVER NITCH IN LIFE. I AM GOING ON A SAFARI WHEN I GRADUATED THE ZOO CLASSES AND ON MANY OTHER ADVENTURES BUT THIS IS MY HOME BASE AND WHERE I WILL BE ALMOST DAILY.

AFTER YOU CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE..... HERE IS A VIDEO OF OUR MEMPHIS ZOO.
MY DOCENT ZOO CLASSES
My Docent class at the zoo feeding the giraffe's. I'm the one in the dark coat.
This is Sherry (class mate I clicked with from the the beginning ) feeding the
giraffe in the pic below.
Yesterday we were with the primates.
(Some types of Monkeys and humans are the only things on earth that Mates with only one certain male for life. Monkeys do a better job of it than Humans.)
Every morning the monkeys come out and go to each side of their habitats and yell, their neighbor on each side yells back. After they do that to each side of their area and every neighbor yells from every side of their habitat they all go to the middle of their habitats and eat until they get full then they swing and play until they get tired. The rest of the time they groom each other. At night they eat again, go to each side of their habitat and yell to each of their neighbors. When they all answer they go in and go to bed.
They do this in the wild too. One male with their one special female for life and their babies always stay as a family in their own certain area. They never cross over to each others area. They only yell at each other to make sure they are over there. In this video the monkeys in the end with the big throats are the ones that do all the yelling. They mark their area by urine so other males and their families doesn't come into each others area. It's awesome to hear them calling all over the zoo and watching them. Here's the video primate video
Elizabeth wanted her cast off so I showed her how we could take it
off.
