JOURNAL ENTRY #20

BIRDS--NOUN:  A WARM BLOODED EGG LAYING VERTEBRATE DISTINGUISHED BY THE POSSESSION OF FEATHERS, WINGS, AND BEAK AND (TYPICALLY) BY BEING ABLE TO FLY

----------

I went to the ice cream shop today to get my schedule set for once I begin working there.  Just happened to get an ice cream while I was there, too.  :-)

The laughing woman was there, again.  But, this time it wasn't her infectious laugh that I noticed, but the fact that she couldn't stop staring at the ceiling.  Seems she loves to sketch birds.  Roz, that's her name, told me to look up, too.  The ceiling is covered with pictures of birds from one end to the other!  She said this is her favorite place on the Island so far (birds and ice cream).  It seems she's here visiting and hopes to draw shore birds while she's here.

Luckily, I brought my sketchbook along.  We chatted as we ate ice cream and pointed out the different kinds of birds on the ceiling.  Wow!  She sure knows her birds!!  I sketched her while she was sitting there looking up.  I brought my new Zig colored pens along, too.  Wanted to try them out.

Lynne and Maureen popped in for coffee and said the party is this weekend already.  I almost forgot!  She invited Roz, too, who will be leaving Bokeelia the following day.  I hope not before I bring her to Palm Park, though.  Wait until she sees all the vultures flying in at sunset!  It's a lot of noise and quite a sight to see.  I think she'll really like it.
