Feb post

Just received in the mail a Patriots Super Bowl 53 champions tee shirt. I am not a big sports fan, however I have always been a Patriots fan and I get very excited watching the games. If I were to have a heart attack it would be in one of the many 4th quarter. come backs, and this years Chiefs game that went into overtime was one of those. With the technology of this age I can watch highlights of any game again as many times as I want and I do. Six Super Bowls . It is incredible .  
  One of the Ya Po Ah trips in December was to Albany to see the carousel. They have been working on it for years and opened two years ago. It is in a beautiful building and beside the carousel round enclosure  there are the work shops and carving demonstrations and tour of the painting workshop. There is a gift shop and eating place. We are going again next year at the time Albany has an open house Christmas victorian house tour.
I also include the total eclipse that occurred  in January. It was overcast here as it is most of the time in winter. A group of us watched  it live stream  on my computer from the observatory in CA. I found the photos taken round the world on Google. 
The last photo is from my window of a partial  rainbow that occurred  a few days ago at sunset. I have seen many rainbows from my window. Life is wonderful.

for Valentine's day 2019

Last year I sent valentines, this year photos of loved ones, family and friends. Read info under each image.  Love and be loved. Love the greatest power on earth. Words can not describe the feelings of love. We love in many ways, with humans, animals, and nature. We can love our creative spirit  that makes all things possible, that brings joy and happiness into our lives.
