Ang tema ngayon sa LP ay LIKAS (Human Nature)
Likas sa aking pagkatao na ako ay masaya, nakangiti palagi. Malakas ang tunog ng halakhak. Kaya ang palayaw nila sa akin ay “giggles”
It is inherent in my personally that I am a cheerful person, smiling all the time. I laugh out loud too! That’s why they call me “giggles”.
I made this scrap from the “quick page” scrap page created by my daughter Zee and you can download it for free here. Just fill in the blanks and add your art and creativity.

It was a cool and balmy Sunday in my usual early morning walk at 7:30 a.m. I checked out the cherry blossom trees in the lake. There were a lot of buds and a few sprouts.
We sure did get a lot of rain the past months and I would expect a lot of blooms!

Literally, I am a Valley Girl, because the City where I reside is part of San Fernando Valley, in Southern California. Today the sky was so blue and clouds were floating up in air, after the rain the day before.
I discovered this wildlife area by accident, adjacent to the Japanese Garden.
The grass is green, I could smell it
The trail around the lake was more than a mile
I checked out the ponds on the other side
But it was all wet, I decided not to proceed
An old John Deere was a surprise find!
