CIRCUS, n. A place where horses, ponies and elephants are permitted to see men, women and children acting the fool.~ Ambrose Bierce

It is very quiet now that Aunt Elaine and Grandma have left Ghana. Jacqueline is in Uganda and Tanzania so Thea and I are on our own. Circus is in town so tonight we went to see it – it was surprisingly good. 

 They had tigers, crocodiles, snakes, kangaroos and a little Jack Russell with them.
