Another lovely day for an extra long walk. 3.5 hours up to market of choice on 29th for a coffee, across amazon Park to Hendricks Park, back through the pioneer cemetary and campus. Really really nice day.

The tiny painting in the last picture came from the Tiny Art Gallery near my house. An actual artist runs it lol so there’s always something to take, or room to leave something I made. What I take is always neat, things I leave, well, maybe not so artistic.

Saw my first daffodil of the year. It made me unbelievably cheerful lol. I’m easy to please sometimes.

Had an extra long walk and enjoyed it a lot. As I was passing through downtown I noticed that all the street people were riled up over something. All except one guy, who was expounding on his dislike for pickles and tomatoes. I think he saw me smiling a little bc he then went on to tell his little group how much all women loved pickles, just love them. And I do, it’s true.

I just love picking up little snatches of conversations when I’m walking through downtown. I have heard some hilarious stuff.

Started a stephen king book and it’s going great. I’ve read all of his stuff but the Dark Tower series. Just couldn’t get into it for some reason.

Oof. Don’t buy a loaf of delicious challah bread and think that you’ll just have a “slice or two.” The reality is grim, my friends, very grim indeed.

In other news, I had a nice visit with Lora. We sat and drank tea and talked about taxes and insurance and our investments. We’re old LOL

So I went to Grocery Outlet and bought a bunch of random crap today. Here’s a standout from my selections: they taste exactly like what you would imagine. Chicken and waffles, but chips. And….not yummy.

The canned jackfruit I’ll try tomorrow. The suggestion on the can is that you use it to make vegetarian chicken salad lol. Well we will have to see.

Friday is Charisma day. We came back to my place and watched a movie and had snacks. It’s interesting. Each visit to my house is exactly the same. Kids love consistency.
