As always, thank you for all your comments. I enjoy them as much as writing the posts. this post is just a few things I was thinking about and pictures I took, and wanted to share them.
I make no claims as to my ability to do this, but if only one thing might interest you, then you might come back to see more next time.
Here it is Martha loved doing my birthday puzzle.Not easy nor extremely hard. Just right 💗my cupboards are that same green. I’d love to have that many cats if you didn’t have to clean a cat box, make that boxes. I count 91/2 cats.
this is the textbook hairy balls plant. I love ours in the front yard. I see people looking and pointing at it all the time.
mine had looked like the picture above, but it’s shedding it’s seeds now. in fact It’s time to cut it back. thought you neighbors might want to be on the lookout for seedlings in your yard next year. those seeds can travel far on a breeze.
I like both paragraphs on this.
We recently took a nice drive and went to the Korean friendship bell in San Pedro with Frank and Linda. we also had lunch at the fish market restaurant in ports of call, the only building left standing. A brand new waterfront development is taking the old ports of call space. I’m anxious to see what they build, we spent many hours there when the kids were young.

I recently came across this article about chicken. Jerry has never adhered to the 2hour window to put leftovers in the fridge. So I asked ‘Siri’ to take a screenshot of it (I love that feature)to show him. Also rinsing chicken is not recommended now. I remember my mother telling me always rinse your chicken. But I quit doing it awhile back. I think chicken might be handled better at the packing plants now.
did you guys know this-
remember the post about Lincoln park in Long Beach? We’ll, they have decided to go ahead and change the name. I have some negative thoughts about that, but we haven’t been to that park in years, and by this time next year I will have forgotten all about it. I wonder where they will put that big penny?
stay tuned

Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Your posts are bright spots in the week! We love the visuals, and your writing style is inspiring as well. Most of all, your abundant life and cheerful appreciation of its vicissitudes give your lucky audience plenty to be grateful for.
Such interesting items, especially your unique hairy plant. I always enjoy your posts. Love, Celia
I second Linda!
I always enjoy your posts. I’m sorry about Lincoln Park’s name – such craziness. I’m grateful for the chicken cleaning lesson – I didn’t know those things. Love you
I have very fond memories of San Pedro visits which involve teriyaki and old-timey photographs. The picture of the Korean Friendship Bell looks like something out of a new age film – such emotional variety from your models!
Thanks Jilly I really like looking at you bog. I don’t know about them hairy balls though.
If you can get that big penny it would look great in your front yard.
We were wondering what those brown balls were in your front and we were going to take a look, but we forgot. They’re quite unique! I wonder if that sea gull tastes like chicken. They keep taking things down, change names…. those sculptures, statues and original names are part of American history. 😳

I can’t think of something funny to say about “trimming hairy balls” but I know there must be several angles. @Linda – I had to look up vicissitudes – great word! I loved the teriyaki and fun times at Ports O’ Call.
