The last two have been super good days.

I haven't said that too often lately. How about you?

I had a 9:30 zoom meeting with Eastside, lovely faces & smiles. 

I made my first trip to Costco in three months, and it was easy.

Masks, of course, each cart wart was sprayed after use, 
bigger isles, more streamlined. Smooth flow. 
In and out in less than an hour and relieved of $$$.
Then Grandhunk #1 put up my new blue umbrella. 

And, GH#2's best friend, Garrett Mitchell just got 
first-round drafted to the Milwaukee Brewers. 
You might have heard them celebrating at their watch party.

 The art of gratitude

We can’t get enough of these incredible balloon figures created by 22-year-old New Jersey balloon artist Eddie Lin. (Seriously, if you have time, click on the story link to behold even more of his creations here.). Lin, who has autism, is using his “awesome” talent to craft elaborate sculptures in honor of essential workers.

This is the view from my studio at 6:30 pm, a very nice Sunday.

And, WonderWoman sent me a photo from her walk this morning.

 I took this one on a walk, of a big old tree downtown Tustin.

And, the new growth on its trunk. 

and, this cool narrow alley. I will walk it sometime.

Just because...

TMI:

How to drive me crazy?

Just about anything that requires me to phone a cable company, software company, or business where they have recorded messages telling me how important I am to them. And they are experiencing a heavy call load and ask for my patience in return for near unbearable elevator music.  Then almost connecting to an automated voice with selections numbers, to be cut off! Such was the case Tuesday evening in contacting Adobe Software at 10:56 pm. I chose evening as there is less traffic. When I got past the automation, I went on to chat with Mohammed, Deepak, Divya, Garina, Sumit, Garina 2, Akshay, and finally Saransh. All 8 were polite and knowledgeable, as they passed me on to a more advanced technician. At 4:05, I thought I was done, they notified me my case was closed. I went to bed. The next morning, I had no PS app in the app file or toolbar. I found it in the trash? 
4 hours! I am slowly recovering.

Just because ...
