(A) Starts with the Letter "A":  Asleep starts with "A".  These guys "sleep a lot," I bought the stuffed Snoopy dog in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1975 before Christmas on sale at Macy's.  The puppy I bought for Adi in 2011 but hadn't given it to her before she died in 2012.  I keep that one to remind me of how nice a dog she was. (Adi's meme)


(B) "Ample" (Tom's Choice):   "Ample" time to make this blog post ready for Friday, now one minute past midnight Thursday morning. 

Since I am the worrywart type I like to have Ample supplies around and always be ready.  The blog will be ready shortly and I'll post it tomorrow morning. 

p.s. I write most all my posting here using my old Galaxy 8 smart cell phone.  Even the picture postings.  I tweak and spell check again with Mrs. Jim's computer if I have time.

(C) A Favorite:  I like this capture because of the '68 Chevy Malibu that is like, even the color, Mrs. Jim's car when we were married.  I plan to see Jordana Brewster driving it in the latest movie episode of "The Fast and Furious."


(D) Street/Reflections:  I got caught taking this one by the younger great granddaughter .  These two greats have excellent appetites and like most foods.  


(E.1) A Lagniappe:   This year's Father's Day gathering.  All five of the kids came, some grandchildren, greats, and the youngest great-great.  Spouses too.  The children are getting old too, the youngest son is 61 and one younger daughter is still in her forties.  

Three are married, our older daughter is a new widow, her husband died of the COVID-19, and the oldest son has been retired a for a few years.  


We ate at my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Heights, 
Berryhill In The Heights
 (of Houston).

(E.2) A second Lagniappe:  Carryover from last week, Our neighbor's McLaren is plenty Zippy.  It is a 2014 McLaren,
