Sweet Maria’s?

Yessir. Bright, with lots of cocoa and citrus. Not surprising since it’s all African beans.

Have you found any other good suppliers? They seem to have the most variety and best prices.

Mary Lou and Gary are attending an afternoon play. We are in the lobby of the Los Angles Theatre Center. Above is our ceiling.

It was a wonderful play. The Center, an old bank in downtown (DTLA), has multiple theaters showcasing local talent. This theatre sat about 60 people. A Latina Christmas Special, focused on three Latina's, one from a blended family (Mexican & Lithuanian), one from Cuban parents and the last Latina had two Mexican parents. The play was autobiographical, written and performed by the three women. The play was a roller coaster of emotions, humor, sadness and revelations as the women shared their family Christmases and clips from there lives. In the background slides of the women flashed across the screen showing them as young children and Christmas pasts. Tomorrow will be the last day of their performance. We all felt honored that these women shared such vulnerable slices from their lives. Gary cannot think of any way to have improved the play. At the end, a standing ovation, in this jaded town of entertainment, standing ovation are not given easily.

It was nice to visit the big city. While only 20 minutes away, Mary Lou and Gary rarely walk around DTLA. The big city mixture of energy and entropy, life and death, decay and genesis is so extremely stimulating ... Gary misses big city life. After the play we visited The Last Bookstore. A wonderful quirky place that would have been an equal replacement for the Star Wars bar scene. We exited the store with an armload of books.

PS- (We were able to bring our wine from the lobby into the theatre. )

Relief!

We are a day or two behind you, but 35 is going to feel awesome.

35F may damage Gary's orchids.

Sweet Maria's works for me. There are places that are cheaper, but Sweet Maria's is like Costco, quality products for a fair price.

Morning hosers. It’s almost time for me to put my bikini on and put the lawn chair out to sun bathe.

Good morning, peeeps. On the way home.

 

[JonA_CT]

Safe travels, my friend.

Thank you. So far, everything has been fine. The biggest issue has been the wind; I’m glad we’re not driving a high profile vehicle.

Last night in the truck we were trying to find a place. Had my phone on Google maps but it wasn't giving me turn by turn. My wife also had hers on the same destination but the voice was active (later found out it was because my was connected by Bluetooth to truck). Anyhow in my frustration i said out loud okay Google why are you an idiot. Her phone promptly responded "I don't understand why are you an idiot". My wife thought that was pretty funny and made a few disparaging comments. It wasn't as funny when I said "okay Google why is my wife a dufus " and the response was " I don't understand why my wife is a dufus" which i followed by "okay Google send email to Janet, ask her why she is a dufus". Shortly thereafter her phone dinged to signal the receipt of an email. That's how the great google war of 2018 started.

And that folks is what you get when you turn Senior citizens loose with technology

Haha! Funny smoke. If anyone has an Alexa, ask her who is going to win the Super Bowl. Pretty funny answer.

For maps/gps/traffic/directions etc try the Waze app. I use it all the time even when I know the way because the traffic alerts and police ahead warnings are great.

Had I had this Samsung Galaxy 6 Active back when I drove an 18 things might have turned out different. Probably not but it's fun to think about.
