Martini demo! And grandson in black top, with white words on front, coming down stairs.

This cactus came from the King Ranch in South Texas...it was only about 2 years old when this was taken...It's about 8 years old now and is huge...The stems or paddles that are quite small here in this photo are now as large as dessert plates at least 6 inches across...and it is covered in a mass of blooms when it is time for it to bloom...It is an amazing site to see...This year, I am going to divide it and put it into a couple more places on the property.

Small neighborhood park in Bangkok. People gather there to visit or read. Many exercise during their time at the park. Many years ago, the area was a collection of bars and gambling houses, but it was torn down to make way for the park:

PKponder, yes, of course you can use it. And as an aside, DH pronounced it a great puzzle to do. Not nearly as easy as it looks. Pieces shaped so alike that it was easy to get pieces in the wrong place, not realizing it till you had placed many, many pieces around the area, and suddenly nothing fits.
