Messy Is Not A Requirement.

my desk, April 11, 2020

True. But it happens, so easily.

To look, you might think I am busy at work?

Not today, but there is hope for tomorrow.

And I did show up for Day 2816 blog.

What a strange time we are in right now?

I've been here for a long time and this all seems strange.

(TMI alert)

Tomorrow is Eastside, our monthly art group.

So I needed to go to Michaels for the required supplies.

Seemingly just one employee at the checkout.

A pretty young lady with extraordinary lashes!

I asked her where I could find paper clay & Right Wrap.

She was very sweet and looked it up on her phone.

"Try aisle 89", she said. "You have 89 aisles?" I said.

Sure enough, I found aisle 89, passing only 2 humans.

I bought polymer clay and something called Rigid Wrap?

I went next door to Trader Joe's, it had a normal 6 pm

crowd. I bought broccoli, frozen spinach lasagne and

a prepared salad. In and out quickly. I didn't use a bag for

just 3 items, so unloading at home, I dropped the salad

onto my garage floor and partially under the car.

I swept it up and into the trash. Saving the enclosed packet

of sunflower seeds, and the dressing packet.

I cooked the broccoli, added a small avocado,

the sunflower seeds and a part of the dressing.

Delicious and healthy.

And, I was in time for Jeopardy.

TMI?

Day 2548: Everything has a history.

3 kids waiting for the parade: old photo, collage & digit

SBTP/Story behind the picture:

Some of the old photos I use are adoptees,

found waiting for me at flee market or sales.

Others are relatives or have family ties.

I believe these were my Dad's cousins, so mine too I guess.

I seem to remember their name was Byers.

I m the oldest of my Dad's family so no one to ask?

But, I think my Dad said that they were

waiting to be part of the parade in town in Indiana.

2GN2S: Too good not to share:

Everything has a history.

Los Angeles International Airport's iconic flying-saucer-shaped Theme Building, has that extraterrestrial modern flair! The Theme Building, whose construction was complete in 1961, was designed by the Pereira & Luckman architectural firm in the 'Googie Style,' an architectural style influenced by futuristic elements. Over the course of its history, the Theme Building has been a restaurant (that even rotated when I ate there once, in its earlier days), a must-visit for plane-spotters and a common star of film and photo-shoots.

It is now home to the Bob Hope USO. There's good news for plane watchers, too, as the Theme Building's observation level is open to the public on certain weekends.
