Small Joys–Odd Talents

Sometimes the best small joys are those under-appreciated odd talents. My odd talent is my ability to find something in an over-crowed, unorganized refrigerator!

I love to try planting new things in my garden. This year, that “new” plant was the tomatillo.

Holidays are often the times we accumulate some beautiful memories. This Christmas, my daughter-in-law thought to take a photograph of our granddaughters with their great grandfathers, my dad (far right) and my husband’s dad (far left).

Without speaking Italian asking for battery for my camera and getting it.
On the Azoren Islands talking to the taxi-driver were to find us because we got lost.
On the ferry in Brasil speaking to other passengers or on the salar the Uyuni talking with the guide who was taking good care of us also because of high altitude sickness you might become.
Stay safe Sue
I love to meet other people.
