Perhaps not the actual circus.
The coach swept me off my feet for a few days; we ventured a few hours away to Sarasota.
He booked a snazzy hotel for us and we explored the sights.
Our first stop:
The John and Mable Ringling museum of art….and the circus museum.
John Ringling lived a very interesting life….and not just that of a circus Mogul.
Below is a few photos from a huge display of “Largest Miniature Circus In The World”
Totally cool, totally miniature.
Being around all this circus stuff reminded me of my childhood days; when the circus train stopped in West Palm Beach every year, it was a big deal. My Brother and I loved it. My Mom would make sure we were able to watch all the animals and performers traipse through town to the Auditorium.
Then I remembered that Mark loved the circus so much, he created one in our back yard with ME being the center ring.
I’m just thrilled that Mark wasn’t able to get a hold of one of these canons…Or I’d be typing this post from the comfort of my wheel chair.
More to come…
Are you on the edge of your canon?
When we got home the kids asked if we had fun.
My response:

:
I’m pregnant!!!
HA!
XOXO

So you think you had a wild time?? I need help…I had to get Mildred off the table at the Mex. restaurant as she was dancing to the Mariachi band!!! All she had was water with lemon!!! Your weekend sounds fun. I'm familiar w/ Sarasota – my parents lived in Venice. I used to eat at the Amish restaurant each time I visited. I don't remember exactly where it was but my brother and I found a great oyster bar on one of the islands. Johm
