Here’s another edition of what I like to call “So, What’s New?”
Mother got a Kindle for Christmas. It looks as if they are going to get along nicely, that is as long as I can keep it loaded up fast enough for her. She is a voracious reader. More about Mom and her Kindle soon.
Loving hazelnuts and chocolate as much as I do, I find it strange that I had never tried Nutella before yesterday morning. Wow! It is so yummy— especially spread on warm gluten-free waffles. I picked up a small jar of the Nutella at Fresh & Easy, along with waffles and two containers of soup: split pea with ham, and baked potato. Thanks to my pal Barbie for telling me about the soup. So good!
Looks as if Shell and Sheldon Grossman are planning something special for the 35th anniversary of their Bixby Knolls Car Wash and Detail Center. The event will take place sometime in the summer. If it’s anything like the last anniversary party they hosted, it will be amazing!
The City of Signal Hill is hosting a design presentation of the conceptual plan for the new library at a special park and recreation commission meeting. The presentation will take place Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 6pm at the City Council Chambers 2175 Cherry Ave. According information supplied by the City, there is no need to RSVP, and childcare for children 3 years and older will be provided. If you have any questions, give a call to the Community Services Department at (562) 989-7330.
Mom reported lots of construction activity in a building directly across from her abode at Bixby Knolls Towers (3700 block of Atlantic Ave). With curiosity getting the best of me, I just had to stop by and check it out. According to the construction supervisor, it looks as if a rather large dermatology clinic will be located at the site. Hmmmm. Wonder if they will be able to do anything to bring out more of my “natural beauty?” Hey, no smart-aleck remarks— I mean the dermatology clinic— not the construction company!
