Today I took Wae-Ling and my Birding Buddy to the arboretum. A good time was had by all.

I walked with my Birding Buddy, who is now 80 and uses a walker. We set Wae-Ling free to explore on her own.

Good idea to let her explore on her own

[Jane]

Wae-Ling graduates from high school in a couple of months, and she has her driver's license now. Ya'll have watched her grow up through my posts all these years.

This is very exciting.

Romanian border police and citizens have turned the pedestrian bridge linking Ukraine and Romania, at Sighetu Marmației, into a toy bridge.
Each child who comes from Ukraine can take a toy from there.

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Today I had my post-op. All looked well. I had my favorite nurse, who is far more knowledgable than some of the others. The surgeon was in an emergency surgery, but the nurse was able to answer all my questions. I stopped at Julie Goes Green on the way home and treated myself to her delicious vegan fettuccine alfredo. I couldn't figure out why she looked different. Then it dawned on me: no mask! I've been going there for almost two years now and had never seen her whole face!

[Jeanne]

Ron, I woke up this morning grieving over the loss of my wonderful neighbor in Alexandria, VA. She has since passed away, like so many of my friends. I don't really have a solution to these losses.

[Jeanne]

Vibes to all who are grieving.

A good weekend to all.

TTFN.

Great news and .  I expect you still wore your mask.

Indeed, and I think we are all grateful for having had you provide that opportunity.

Tonight I picked up my best friend from high school at the airport (in from Washington state) and delivered her to her B&B.

The four college roommates are reuniting this weekend; one of the four has terminal cancer and is having a farewell celebration for which all kinds of people are flying in to gather. It is a wonderful thing, but also a bit uneasy. How many people know in advance, make plans, and face it head on? Lots of mixed emotions, I'm sure. I have to be flexible, but am hoping for a bit of time with my friend over the next few days. But I'll have to be flexible.

She lives in Bellingham, DR George and DR TCB.

I just love that toy bridge. So much terror and loss. Unfathomable, really. And so many orphans and families separated.

Yes, it has been a pleasure.

Sending hugs DR Singdaw.

Amazing!  Congrats to Wae-Ling!

One of the things I did was check if my neighbor was planning a future trip to the mall & See's candy.  Perfect timing as she was going today, and is on her way home with my order

Jane and Ron (and anyone else interested), do either of you go to Costco?  If you don't know about this, my local Costco (and yours too, I'm sure) sells See's gift cards for $40, but they're $50 in value...a 20% discount.  Even if you buy See's once, it's a great deal because the cards never expire.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I thought the gift cards were for pound boxes of chocolate which I rarely buy.  I wonder if there is a code so I can use the card over the phone.

I ordered some online and used the gift card without any trouble.  Of course, that was several years ago, but I'd assume things haven't changed.

Probably no.  The question is if you have to use the entire amount per order.  I am guessing yes online, maybe no in store.

I wouldn't think that you'd have to use the whole amount at one time.  It has numbers on the back like a credit card and as long as there's a balance to use, you should be able to use it over multiple orders.

That's so sweet.

Same at my work!  There are a couple of people in my building whose faces I've only seen for the very first time this past week!

We're at five-to-places for our last Friday performance. 

[George]

We close on Sunday.

[George]

Then we strike the set and everything else.

[George]

Fortunately, their storage is right behind the theater, so it'll all ne very easy.

[George]

And the set is literally just a few furniture pieces and a back wall made of flats.

[John G.]

A crowd of 600+ at the show tonight. And they were ready to be entertained. Really a lot of fun.
