TATTOOME

This is so neat. Church was great as always. Our 450 person church commited to over $800.000.00 for our building fund. It blows me away to see how people want to honor God. We love our church. Its growing every week.
After church, Bob and I drove to Colorado Springs to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It is a very nice Zoo built on the side of a mountain. Ok, so it sounds real cool. Well, if you have any kind of walking handicap don't go there. Its ALL up or downhill. We really got our exercise today!!!! It is not easy getting around this zoo. I kept thinking, If someone had to push a wheelchair here,forget it. Granny would be flyin down a hill at 90 miles an hour. Not to mention the poor person huffing her UP the paved walkways. Plus there weren't any tram rides. I did love the awesomely cute baby Silverback gorilla. He was so cute. There was a caretaker in the cage thing with him, acting as a mom to him. He would climb the tree logs then jump on her. So cute. I'd love that job!! I love Monkeys!!! After the zoo, we drove to town of Colo Springs and walked around there. Stopped at a book store and then a music shop. After that, Starbucks and I treated Bob to a extra large, ice coffee drink. I got a Carmel Machhitti(sp) which was so good, and I went outside after I paid for our two drinks. Well, Bob got his and he comes outside with both hands full. The guy gave him another large, chocolate ice drink for free. At Starbucks! It was so cool. We sat there and enjoyed eachother and our yummy drinks. After about a half hour we walked downtown and found a place I use to go to after work at the dog track. Jose' Muldone's. We were seated in the back, outside. Very fun. Our waiter Matt, came over and we goofed around with him. Telling him we weren't real hungry, so we were going to order something small. So we each had a glass of lemon, ice water and a taco each. Plus they give you chips and salsa. Matt told us after I guessed his age as 20 yrs old, that his birthday was next week. Oh wow. Very neat and he just moved here from PA. WE had a nice talk with him and showed him a picture of Molly, Mike and Brock. He says about Molly......"Wow". Anyway, We told him how Molly used to work as a waitress and tell people it was her birthday so they should tip her good. haha. He laughed. Then when we were ready for the check he comes over and gives me a piece of paper and says," Just don't say anything to the manager, I told them to comp this." HE DIDN'T CHARGE US FOR OUR TACOS." I was flabbergasted, and I said Matt "Don't do this , I don't want you in trouble." He said to us, "You two have been so nice to me and fun, and everybody else, has been jerks today, so, don't worry about it.".. Oh my gosh, we had two free things today. Blessings. Plain and simple..Blessings. God is GOOD. We are home now relaxing. I love Life.....I am still hoping Molly and Mike come out here for me birthday...Hint hint. Until next time..Peace. xo Gail
