Eloise Delmar Perez

 I have been studying this beautiful photo all day.

New life, new dreams, new hopes.

The proud Daddy, my student of many years.

The tired, beautiful Mom, Katie, true love of Luis.

And, Miss Eloise Delmar Perez, held lovingly.

Deeply loved already, her tiny fingers, sheer perfection. 

I predict a very happy family.

What do you think of when to look at this new family?

Does it bring back memories or touch you, as it did me?

With vast mountain ranges, diverse wildlife and clean air, Los Alamos County,  New Mexico is ranked the healthiest community of 2020.

 

 

The sun sets over Los Alamos County during the fall of 2018.

 Located about 40 miles from Santa Fe, the county is home to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. The county received a perfect score for measurements including drinking water quality, affordable housing availability, park access and population with an advanced degree, according to the annual U.S. News Healthiest Communities .

Douglas County, Colorado, is the runner-up, followed by Falls Church, Virginia, Broomfield County, Colorado, and Routt County, Colorado.

Tustin is not a racetrack. This motorcyclist going 139 mph was arrested for reckless driving and his motorcycle was impounded.

 Apology: The new "improved?" blogspot will only sometimes allow me to have my preferred center allignment? And instead, places the sentences randomly? I always said my blog was random.

I apologize.

 

 

 

 Update:

As some of you know, I have no use of my right arm.                  Thankfully I can still type an write, as I am right-handed.                     But I have to keep my right elbow against my body,                             as any lifting is extremely painful. I had to cut my hair,                          as it is impossible to make a ponytail with one hand.                             I will have full replacement surgery in January.

Cantada, our homeowners association is undertaking repairs               to all exterior wood fences, patios and the like.                                      It is our job to clear the areas near the future repairs.

 Meet Jesse, my hero, a fellow black-belt, but younger and stronger.

he spent a half day cleaning up an trimming, then moving

things away from the fence.

 

 

  

                                                

 Lots of empty pots, rusty farm tools and smaller plants moved.

Thank you Jesse and Courtney for last week.

 

 

 

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday, sparking a wave of tributes in the nation's capital and around the country. She was 87. The second woman ever appointed to the bench, she was known for her fiery dissents, often in cases involving civil rights or equal protections. Those dissents and key cases that she worked on as a lawyer made her a cultural touchstone across generations, earning the nickname the "Notorious RBG."

 

Ginsburg's death comes less than two months from Election Day and sets the stage for a divisive political fight over the future of the Supreme Court. President Trump said he would choose a candidate to fill her seat this week. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is vowing that whoever Trump nominates will get a vote on the Senate floor, despite blocking President Barack Obama's nominee in 2016 and arguing that voters should determine the future of the high court in an election year. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, meanwhile, said, "The voters should pick the president, and the president should pick the justice."
