Another 49-cent movie yesterday – we watched Memoirs of a Geisha. I read the book a while back, and knew what to expect. I don’t like to be surprised in movies. I am scared of surprises and bad endings. The movie was nicely done. The cruel and sex parts of the books were not overplayed, which was good.

Just what I need
At the 98 cents or more store, Audrey spotted this ice cream scoop, apparently for gangsters. Look closely at the yellow starburst on the label. It says, “Bullet Proof Plastic.”
Just what I need! In case the ice cream gets attacked, the scoop will save the ice cream for safe consumption.…
Jump!
On Monday, I went with Audrey and her 2 friends, Nicolette and Emmeline, to Little Tokyo.
Our adventure began with taking the Metrolink from Walnut to downtown Union Station. How nice it was not to have to drive. The train was smooth, fast, and convenient.
Union Station is like an airport with signs and tunnels to various Gates. We caught the Dash that took us to within 2 blocks of Little Tokyo. The bus drivers were extremely courteous and helpful. I was very impressed.
Pictured here are the girls playing around this object d’art. We enjoy simple pleasures.
Have you seen Chicken Little, the Disney movie version?
There is a place in Walnut that rents DVDs for $1 a day. On Tuesdays, it’s only 49 cents! Mike rented Chicken Little for 49 cents.
It is a cute movie with some life lessons:
Don’t assume something can’t happen just because you think it can’t happen.
Amy’s Crazy Hair Day
On Saint Patrick’s Day, Amy’s school had Crazy Hair Day. I did her hair with little ponytails on one side of her head. I thought it looked cute!
A lot of the students sprayed their hair green. What fun it is to be a kid!
When the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines; when the olive trees do not produce, and the fields yield no crops; when the sheep disappear from the pen,and there are no cattle in the stalls, I will rejoice because of the Lord; I will be happy because of…
peace on earth
lots of hugs and kisses from my family and friends
a rabbit, preferably a baby rabbit, preferably from an indoor home (vs. kept outdoor in a cage) We got a gray 6-week old baby bunny from Billy Joe, my friend Barbara’s workout instructor at 24-Hour Fitness
Amy told me these jokes yesterday. I still laugh at these old jokes!!
Patient: Doctor, will I be able to play the piano when I get well?
Doctor: Sure you will.
Patient: Great! I was never able to play before.

How do you know carrots are good for your eyes?
My outside-the-home job is real estate. As a real estate agent, the best part of the job is meeting nice people.
Last week, my friend/client introduced me to his co-worker to help him buy a house. He is a very nice young man. He told me he is the youngest of five children – the…
The fifth grade classes in Amy’s school has been suffering from flu-go-round. Almost every child is getting a turn.
Amy’s class had 8 students out sick. Her friend Casey’s class had 15 students absent on one day! That’s got to be a record of some sort.
