Looks and sounds like a neat place. It's always so nice to reconnect with friends and family.

If I could I would send that rain down to you guys.<br /><br />That Getty Villa sounds like a lovely place to visit.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-34892586429312974342014-08-23T06:34:58.971-07:002014-08-23T06:34:58.971-07:00What lovely murals!

And I know what you mean about funerals - almost like a reunion, and often the message and service and poignant and meaningful, but still not something you want to happen often.<br /><br />I do reread books some times. I'd like to do it more, but have so many new books stacked up.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-60610224201150062162014-08-22T21:02:27.397-07:002014-08-22T21:02:27.397-07:00A few of your faves in this post are also mine!

Do you know I have some photos of those very same creatures from the wall murals that you are showing here. Isn't that a wonderful place?
