Go watch this video, the amazing Douglas Murray being interviewed. Things have gotten very depressing. Biden wants Israel destroyed – because this war is inconvenient for him. most of the world openly hates us – so having this kind of champion makes all the difference. Although my social group has shrunk a lot, there are people that have never bothered mentioning what is going on. Should I think of their silence as a good thing or a bad thing? In my mind – it’s a bad thing. Because of the lockdowns I learned how few people will stand by my side – so I’m not surprised – just sad and amazed at those who do what is right.
I’ve never wanted to learn Mah Jong. I have my creative groups, the knitters, the stitchers. But when some very good friends asked me to join – sure because spending more time with good friends is really important.
Thank goodness for Westley – he has taught me so many games and how to strategically play them. So yes, there is a lot to learn. But like all the games I play with him, this one will keep my brain sharp. Oh, and I won the first game I ever played!!!
He is magnificent, he is beautiful, but as I said, plenty of space for him and the coyotes that aren’t on our streets. I hope he ate a squirrel and not someones’ cat.
My friend Julie mentioned a nice restaurant up in Santa Ynez. Lets go! It was a full day trip – so fun.
Cute little town and thankfully the rain came a few days later. It really is wonderful to be able to take a day with friends and go on a mini vacation.
This isn’t where we ate. Just a cute sign. We at at Bar La Cote, a lovely seafood restaurant in Los Olives. The food was great, the company lovely and the service! That is one thing that the lockdowns destroyed – service. It was so nice to have a lovely lunch with really nice service.
We popped into Solvang, the clouds are gathering! Solvang is a cute Danish town, but it is getting rundown. Sure, it’s midweek in the winter. But a lot of stores are closing. Thank you Grusom for destroying California.
The little mermaid in America.
the Kitsch is still here.
We stopped for a Danish and coffee and then drove home. A full day of fun.
The next day, clouds gathering in Hermosa Beach. Since then, we have had 24 hours of very hard rain. Now it is raining, but not bad. The sun will return, if not tomorrow, the next day.
