Golden Glow
What do you make of the golden glow around my in laws Enrique Sr and Felisa Buado Delacruz? I saw it, but hubby did not. You have to believe in God and the Holy Spirit to see this manifested, as others will certainly doubt. My photographer hubby explains the light...
To Go and To Come
Our mini date tonight was unglamorous, though hubby had donned his hat and I had my pink down vest and a red sweatshirt for Christmas ambiance. We drove the 'hood' looking for bedecked homes with lights and of course, to Beverly Hills. We were disappointed. The...
My Princess2015LA
My #princess2015la asked me if my mom or dad played with me when I was little. I could not remember they did. My granddaughter felt bad and asked me, " Did you teach them to play with you, Grandma?" I was truthful and said, "No, I did not." She got silent. I got...
Enough is Enough

What I like about the pandemic

The Producer Tree
Our #princess2015la got a school assignment of writing two sentences about producer trees. She chose the orange tree, harvested with her grandpa, some navel oranges, which I was lucky to share with Miko Zuñiga who stopped by. How blessed I am to still see friends,...
We will do our best for you
#princess2015la needs extra patience from us. She finds her classwork too easy that she wants to play. We finally got her to focus for two zoom classes, lunch (I had to explain to her the value of nutrition and illness and when she understood, she ate); and now...
