Pelicans, Phil Robertson, Clever Cats, Mystery Photo

 I love pelicans. "Oh what a funny bird is a pelican. Its beak holds more than its belly can." Here is a fine fellow of a pelican from the ocean front restaurant where Wei and I treated Terry to her birthday celebration.


 
Phil Robertson is in heaven now and I love these words "When I die, don't cry. Sing. Dance. But don't cry when I die. When I die you say "He made it." The same words work for me, say "She made it". I hope not soon!


and for fun, I don't know how they managed to create this: Is it three girls and coffee, if you squint and almost close your eyes it is someone else! Someone I love.

Soon I will tell you about my gardening, I love the process and the results so much. Plus my getting a new electric panel for my house next week since my old one is failing. My house and the electric panel bringing electricity into my house are 70 years old. Expensive!

  4. Oh, I do bet your new electrical panel will be a pretty penny. Ouch. But necessary, for sure. I couldn't get the optical illusion to work for me. I think I was concentrating on those sweet girls' faces too much. Yes, RIP Phil Robertson! I bet his family misses his wisdom & guidance. ~Andrea xoxo

  6. I did spot that illusion before you mentioned it. Can't imagine how one would go about to create something like that, though...

  12. I love the principle of singing not crying. It's a great thing to say but I think it would be hard for those left behind.
