So much is going on this week! We have Honey B’s birthday in a few days and Negra’s birthday on Sunday with our biggest event of the year, The Queen’s Brunch. Not to mention 6 chimps will be making their way over here! It is hard to believe! This morning as I observed Sam giving the seven access to the Young’s Hill we found Negra in the greenhouse. She looked very comfortable, so I can’t blame her for not wanting to get out of bed quite yet. When I think about Negra and who she is, I feel lucky. Negra is a person that if she wants to go outside of her comfort zone she will and she has grown to have the confidence to do it. But Negra also knows exactly what she does not want to do either. A quality in Negra I really appreciate, but personally am not good at.

Don’t forget to check out all the awesome auction items! I am really looking forward to the Brunch After Party where you can join us live from the chimp house. So make sure to bid on that item, you won’t want to miss out and don’t forget your drink ;).

    You are lucky Kelsi. To be able to call Negra (and the rest of chimp people who live at CSNW) your friend and to know each individual so well makes you lucky beyond words.

    I am looking forward to Honey B’s celebration and the Queen’s Brunch festivities. Every year I am so impressed with the portraits of the chimps in your auction. This years auction did not disappoint! Wow! The pieces I have purchased in past auctions surround me in my studio and each one brings me great joy every day. Best of luck meeting (better yet, surpassing) your goal this year.

    Oh, Kelsi, guess who I thought of when I saw the box of “chimpanzee hands”!? 😉
    I’m hoping my Royal-T box arrives in time! Can’t hardly wait!
