Yuka Maeda and Alex Chellan with Alex, Jr visiting me and bringing Pinoy lunch from the Oriental Market in Roseville.
Yuka is my wife's niece, oldest daughter of Jean- Macrine's(RIP) younger sister. The Chellans are residents of Roseville, CA. Thanks Yuka and Alex for your visit and the delicious Pinoy dishes.
Me, Alex and Alex, Jr with my fruiting potted pineapple in front porch as backgroundThis
week I had two set of visitors that I treasured and had touched my
heart. One is from a closed relative and the other is from the avian
animal species.
In my aging years, a short visit or a phone call from relatives or friends are always welcome and I will always remember in my late stages of life here in Planet Earth.
First, I had a short but pleasant visit from the Chellan family, Yuka and husband Alex with their 19 months old son, Alex Jr. ( see photo above). They also brought with them delicious Pinoy dishes ( lechon kawali, pancit, Kare-kare and pinacbet) from my favorite Pinoy store-The Oriental Market on Harding Rd in Roseville. We had a nice visit that I will always treasure in my aging years.
Second, I had also a surprise visit from a pair of Mallard ducks today. I am not sure if they are domesticated or wild, but I was able to take their photo below.
Animal visitors, reminded me of the bluebirds that is claiming my backyard as their summer residence. They have been cavorting and chirping in my back yard for the last three weeks. Here's a reprint of my posting about bluebirds in my backyard for your reading pleasure.
