Christmas Day 2022 I hiked the Griffith Park Observatory trails with my closest friend. At a wonderful 81° we were looking for something to do outside the house, so we trotted over to the park. Parking was easy and it wasn't crowded at all on the trails which we hiked all the way to the top, ending at the Observatory before heading back downhill. There were views for days; and we took great pics, panoramas and selfies which I sent to family out in the freezing regions of the country. They were jealous. This was an unexpectedly great choice for something to do on Christmas Day in LA.

Just dropped by to pick up some reserved materials. The library staff is always so pleasant. The lake/park on the backside of the library is a pretty lil spot I can't wait to visit for some reflection/meditation time. Always a pleasure!

Today was my fourth time visiting the Friend's Community Center. Clean and welcoming are still my first impressions since my first visit on 3/28/22. Prue was helpful and warm as usual. I didn't get to see Ray, but I was in contact with him via email. He is always a joy to vibe with. Overall, I enjoyed my follow up visit to the Friend's Community Center. It really is a place where friends meet.
