Private audience with the BIG Cats

Yes, this is a tiger and the tiger lady at Blank Park Zoo.  One day out of the blue a friend of ours called and invited us to go with them on a special zoo excursion including lunch that he had "won" at a charity fundraiser.  It was one of the most interesting, unexpectedly enjoyable things we have done just for fun.  It meant Charlie taking a day of vacation from work.  So the evening I presented the offer to Charlie, he looked up from watching TV with a quizzical look that kind of matched mine.  Within three minutes, we agreed we wanted to not only graciously accept our friends gift, but whatever adventure it would bring was part of what we enjoy as a couple.  In other words, lighten up and embrace the possibilities new experiences bring.
