Sunday in Henderson included Church, and lunch together, all 8, same 7 as yesterday but Jordan got off work at 4 am and joined us after a short nap. A beautiful day in the low 90's and 22 mph winds forecast to be heavy winds later in the day. 


WonderWoman wanted me to watch the cable tv show, Madison. She said I would love it and I did. I have now watched four and a half episodes and cried in every one. I may have mentioned that in my opinion, when you reach your 80's, you cry easier? Tomorrow we will fit in the last one and a half episodes so that I will have closure.

Nearing the end of my Henderson stay, I will fix my Dad'd tacos tomorrow. I am tripling the recipe and will try to remember to take photos and give you his recipe.






Manatees may look soft and gentle, but their survival strategy is surprisingly remarkable. Unlike whales and seals, manatees do not carry thick insulating blubber, which means cold water can become dangerously deadly for them. That is why warm springs and heated coastal waters are essential safe havens during colder seasons.
These peaceful marine mammals spend much of their lives slowly drifting through shallow waters, grazing endlessly on seagrass and aquatic plants. But all that feeding creates another challenge.
The sandy vegetation they consume constantly wears down their teeth, so nature gave manatees a unique solution: new molars continuously grow in the back of the jaw and slowly move forward to replace older worn teeth.
No speed.
No aggression.
No armor.
Just patience, warmth, and a body perfectly adapted for a calm life in the water. Sometimes survival is not about power — it is about endurance and balance.

Another fun day in Henderson. WonderWoman took me to Summerlin where we shopped and had a great lunch at Marufuku Ramen, in Summerlin. 

At 4pm WW, SM, GH3# (Zack) and I met Tina, Larry and Raquel at Pizza Rock at Green Valley Casino.

Huge menu...
even a Grandma section?

Raquel and Brother-in-law, Zack

Karry and Superman

WonderWoman, Tina and Raquel

GH#3, Zack & Sister-in-law, Raquel (Rocky)

Then we 7 went to see the movie, Michael. We all liked it.



 GH#1, Raquel's husband, Jordan would have been with us, but he was on duty. He passed his national Paramedic test and next stop is Fire Academy, already hired by Henderson Fire Department. He are so happy for him.
