    Oh, there may be a LOT of photos of the CE 7, but never to many of them.

    Not only are you connoisseurs with food, you are also artists when it comes to serving such beautiful dishes. The “kids” looked like they had a great time finding the goodies. Happy Easter to you all????????

    So adorable, I’m smiling with joy and gratitude for everyone, CE7 and people at sanctuary! It’s a lot of work I know thanks to pics of cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning, food prep. I can tell it is also rewarding. I love you!

    How adorable…there are so many great pictures of the chimps but I am glad you took pictures of the plates so beautifully decorated. You caretakers are so talented: party arrangers, entertainment providers and also creative writers. Your e-mails are the first thing I do every morning.

    First thing I do every morning, too! The 7 eat much, much, MUCH better than I do! But then I don’t have a staff of loving keepers that ensure I have everything I need to be happy and healthy. Sigh….

    Photos, photos, photos are ALWAYS welcome! Thank you for everything you do!
