After my haircut I visited Ottavia and Joe, my dear friends, who have both had 2 Vaccines, as I have had. It was such a joyful experience. They have been my chosen family for over 42 years.

Ottavia chose the location so that I would include her orange tree. You can see a collage of flowers that she originally posted to Flickr, on the wall. She is no longer on Flickr but she thoroughly enjoyed being a member in happier times.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day. #BeKind

J'ai rencontré Laurence un soir

Dans je ne sais quelle galerie de peinture

Nous avons longtemps parlé d'art

D'histoire et de littérature

Moi, j'étais très, très amoureux

Je trouvais tout ça merveilleux

Laurence trouvait tout ça divin

Léger, valable, byzantin

Mais je suis plein d'indifférence

Devant les temples de Byzance

Et tous les musées de Florence

Car dans mon lit

J'aime mieux les yeux de Laurence

Another look at the photographer who was intently focusing on the goose. This was taken with my camera.

"I don't have a lot of riches,

And the going's sometimes tough.

But with kin and friends to love me.

I think I'm rich enough.

I thank God for the blessings

That His mercy has bestowed.

I'm drinking from the saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed. " - John Paul Moore
