GOING SHOPPING AND UPS








Eunice and I needed to do some shopping. We first went to Staples because the printer that we are using said that the ink had to be changed and we certainly wanted to be able to print out a photo of Rowena's rabbit, Carrot Jam, who we met in Norfolk. It gets difficult traveling without Merle sometimes, because we don't have any money. We were considering taking a job at Trader Joe's.

As we are hanging out in Merle's office, we could faintly see a UPS (Unbelievably Poor Service) guy approaching the door. Merle got up as she heard the doorbell, but by the time she opened the door, the guy left and Merle could see the truck just down the street. The box, however, was crushed. She waited to see if the schmuck would get out of the truck to perhaps acknowledge this. Nothing. Merle called UPS and the rest is on her blog. We were shocked to see not only that the box was crushed but that the two cakes sent to us by Rowena were crushed as well. Thank goodness the books were okay. Rowena sent Eunice and I one of her books that she wrote herself and even signed it.

NORFOLK VIRGINIA DAY2







Esther and I got up early and went off to Rowena's Wonderful Jam and Jelly Factory. Rowena is such a cool woman. She loved us the minute she met us. She has tales about her pets as well. They are about as adventurous as we are. We got to taste the carrot jam...wow was that good! Check out www.rowenas.com

After that we went to the Virginia Zoological Park. We had a lot of fun there seeing all of those cute animals. I tried to eat some of them...ha ha. We really liked the African area.

We still had time to go to the Chrysler Museum of Art. It's a really good art museum that's has a whole lot of art, photography, sculpture, glass exhibit and more. The place is not huge enough to get lost in. Perfect size. We even tried our beaks in drawing and took a nasty photo just for the fun of it. Couldn't resist.

There is still so much more to see in Norfolk and we hope to come back. You should check out the website of www.visitnorfolktoday.com
