The Zoo

I told Mary last week that we were going to the zoo. They got a new exhibit (Lorikeets from Australian that land on you and you give them nectar) that I'd love for her to see. I decided not to go because it was too late and too expensive. Then out of the blue the other day she suddenly said, "Aren't we supposed to go to the zoo?" I nearly fell out of my chair! So I told her we'll go when it gets a bit cooler. It's in the upper 80's every day this week and that's too hot for her. I just need to decide whether to go on a weekday or a weekend (so she can see the kids). But it is expensive--$10.95! ($2 off for seniors)

I think a mosquito bit her neck while we were out on the swing the other day. She had a dark blue bruise about the size of a quarter. The next day the redness was paler but it had spread. Today it's almost gone but itchy. I hope she's ok. Am I a worry wart?
