Sat: welcome back dear nephew Vincent, enjoy this short trip and safe journeys forward, tkx for dinner@SinHoiSai+dessert@DripsBakery. TiongBahru’s festive lights for the season are so far most pleasing to my eyes.
Bus16/OrchardRd on an AC-bus with front row seat and not on the road, also good that the bus lane is able to by pass the heavy traffic jam. Will probably take a walk here some evening when the crowds are done with their Xmas shopping rush.
Could not resist this cactusS$13@BanNeeChenNursery bringing sweet memories of #4
2022 full bloom(pix credits to 2ndBorn) was just a couple of leafs when she got it from her paternal grandmother. Had one when I was living in Norway, but do not ever remember it with such full of blooms – looks like she really has GreenThumbs, must ask her what is her secret? Will now have to now figure how to take care of it and see how long it can survive in my 4-walls? Now this is what I would call this 70yrs plant real HolidayCactus- appreciations to Annette for this share.

Thoughts are with those in that area visited in Jun2015 – Nancy has moved back to FL and Linda has passed on since.
Thank you Nancy for putting me up and putting up with me near the little people! Thank you Linda for the use of her washer and dryer. It was a pleasure to meet a lovely local lady who is born and bred in this delightful place.
