 “Popcorn” Austin, 2023

Today we saw “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny“. It was so fun! I’ve enjoyed all the Indy movies, and this one didn’t stray from the tried-and-true formula. The car chases were great, and I loved the sound effects. They were very “Indy-esque”!

As you can see in today’s blurry photo, I got a big bowl of “bottomless” popcorn. I usually finish the first, and eat about half of the second bowl, but today I just had the single. I even had my re-order paper ready to go, but I was just too full!

 “Clouds Over Trail” Cedar Park, 2023

After days of clear skies, we were treated to a beautiful display of amazing clouds. It made today’s run much more fun!

And I noticed that a new bicycle maintenance thing-a-mo-bob was installed on the trail too. How cool is that?

 “Fried Chicken Dinner” Cedar Park, 2023

Today we celebrated my son’s birthday with a double-fried chicken dinner. One plate of regular Japanese karaage, and another plate with a sauce poured on top. Both were delicious!

And we also had a yummy Niçoise salad and cheese board. We ate so much! 😄

 “Arrietty” Cedar Park, 2023

I decided to re-watch “The Secret World of Arrietty” after starting to learn “Arrietty’s Song” on the ukulele. It was delightful as I had forgotten how excellent the movie is. The artwork captivated me even more than before. Moreover, the English dub was pretty good, with Carol Burnett’s portrayal of Hara being just perfect. If you haven’t seen it before, I definitely recommend it. Or even to re-watch it as I did.
