Welcome to #Checkin for Sunday May 26th, 2024

Why howdy there #Checkin People! It’s Rod again. Other than apologizing for blanking out on the moderation thing Thursday, I got nothing.

Was a time when Memorial Day holiday weekend was one in which a large group of friends would travel from all over and gather to celebrate our friend Gordon’s birthday at his large house in Pacific Beach. But he’s been gone some years now, as well as many of the attendees, so these days I usually spend this weekend in quiet reflection.

In preparation I picked up a several library holds on Friday, and already have one down, with a few more to go. The best part about having spoiled lap cats is their use as a handy book rest.

The kids are coming into town for a visit on Thursday with plans for touring the Japanese Friendship Gardens in Balboa Park. on Friday. We'll hang out as much as possible before they head back Sunday morning. Whenever we get together, it's as if I don't realize just how much I've missed them until I see them in person. In spite of the fact that I expect such a phenomenon, it continues to be surprising,

How are things looking for you?

As usual, the topic is open.
