…What seems to be the problem. Does this have to be so long as to deliver another line?

Just below this picture click ‘Home’. On the left most column you’ll see ‘Books’ like CHINA! and SOUTH AMERICA!. Click on the link and then in the middle column you’ll see ‘Chapters’. Click on any link that looks interesting and the rightmost column will be the ‘Pages’. I hope the magic works!
Going For A Walk…
Going For A Walk is something I try to do every day and it’s a good chance to visit with friends, and I’m always always ready for a Photo-Op!
And then there is Going Out To Eat, another lovely chunk of life.
My mom and dad…
My mom and dad some Christmas in the late ’60s.
Can you even believe it? My father died in 1973 at age 69. Gone for so very long! And now they’re both gone, my sisters and I are orphans and my big sister is The Matriarch!
Not so different I’d…
Not so different I’d say – you can tell who’s who for sure, having arrived from Hawaii, Sherman Oaks, Orange County, Germany, and Texas (which is why it’s so rare to find them all in one place!) April 2007
My mother passed away…
My mother passed away in April 2007. Her entire blood born clan came for the funeral, including families, and here are also many who have been family since they were born. What a miraculous photo! April 2007
This looks like me…
This looks like me back in 2006 when my hair is settled down and I’ve managed a relatively symetrical face.
My names: Penelope Clare Hunt, Penelope Hunt, Penny Hunt, Penelope Hunt Kanouse, Penelope Kanouse, Penny Kanouse, Clare Penn. August 2006
This is The Big…
This is The Big House in Santa Monica where I moved when the kids were both off on their own. A few years later I retired, rented out The Big House (wow, 700 square feet…) and moved into one of the two itty-bitty cottages located on the same property, to improve cash flow and be Free for Adventure!
Me, from below the…
Me, from below the Santa Monica pier. I never wanted to live anywhere more than I wanted to live in Santa Monica, and now I do! August 2004
My daughter Cynthia and…
My daughter Cynthia and her cat, the 18 year old Uni who still lived with me. But he was her cat. You probably know how that works.
Uni is gone now. When I’m old and enfeebled I’ll get another cat, so enfeeblement will have its up side! Here is a haiku of Uni:
roots
perched atop the fridge
hooded eyes gaze, watchful, oh
get over yourself

My son Darryl and…
My son Darryl and my dear daughter-in-law Angela. December 2004.
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!
Breakfast at Jamaica Bay…
Breakfast at Jamaica Bay Inn the day after the funeral. The waiter took this miraculous photo with Angela’s camera.
From New Zealand I came straight to my mother’s and I haven’t been home yet except to get some clothes. I haven’t picked up the mail and I haven’t listened to my voice messages. I should get to that by Tue-Wed!
From the lower left on around: Trevor, Rupa, Bharati, Charis, Anya, Betsy, Travis, Lainee, Mike, Hartley, Beth, Rome, me, Lona, Caleb, Riki, Xander, Lucas, Windy, Cali May, Janice, Christa, Cynthia, Darryl, and Angela.
Gran’ma and her grandbabies!…
March 1993
Gran’ma and her grandbabies! From the left Windy’s sons Travis and Lucas, Lona’s son Trevor, and Penny’s kids Cynthia and Darryl.
All my mother’s blood-born…
All my mother’s blood-born grandchildren (although there are legions who call her Gran’ma) here for her funeral, gathered from:
Hawaii-Trevor, Lona’s son
Sherman Oaks-Darryl, my son
The OC-Cynthia, my daughter
Germany-Lucas, Windy’s son
Texas-Travis, Windy’s son
which is probably why the last group photo is from 1993!
Cousins…
Everyone together again with…
Everyone together again with their partners for Windy’s wedding in 2011.
My mom has passed…
April 17
My mom has passed and we sisters are in the throws of preparations for the Saturday funeral. And, as my little sister said recently ‘oh nooo, we’re Orphans.’
You can click here for MelicentHunt.com where we have a website set-up to gather memories from her many friends and family members.
You can read what others have written and send us your own best story and a photo of her or your story if you have something you’d like to share. Then you can check back from time to time as the story of her life unfolds in the memories of those who loved her.
I made my daughter…
I made my daughter Cynthia One Thousand Cranes for her 29th birthday. Wow, it was like a meditation and really really fun. That’s Rome she’s holding. February 2007
Following are some links…
Following are some links and pictures of what I do all day long.
However my very most favorite hobby is to just go some place, learn some language, look around, eat and chat and take pictures and write stories.
I just love to do that. You can click here for my personal website WhereTheHeckIsMom and here for my travel website AVerySeniorYearAbroad.
Then we had a…
Then we had a yummy lunch at PF Chang’s, and then a very short very slow stroll to the beach, what with all the cripples we’ve got going in this group.
Thanks for the gift too. I guess maybe it’s a little too clear how much I enjoy a nice bag of groceries!
Here’s another one from…
February 12
Here’s another one from Sunday. You can click The Getty Center to see how this winter look compares with other seasons. It’s soo cool.
Then we joined Sharon…
Then we joined Sharon and Nancy for dinner on the Promenade.
Here is another goofy promotional bit like last weekend when all the Star Wars crowd was out. This gang was trying to get you to buy a Nissan Sentra but mostly they had this wild screen thing that I have no explanation for but all the kids, and we, were enjoying the heck out of it.
The Great Outdoors. …
The Great Outdoors. Lovin’ the Great Outdoors. (Let’s kill something and then eat it. This is Marija’s husband and perversely, I’m keeping this picture here because it cracks me up.)

You can click here to meet many of my once-colleagues who came to my really Swell bon voyage Retirement Party in 2004.
It’s crazy how many cute pictures there are of me in there. Good job Robert!
Check it out! …
Check it out! Sunday in Little Tokyo. More of that Japanese connection.
I have been studying Japanese off and on for more than 10 years now. I continue because I cannot quit. Japanese is simply too too hard for a middle-aged English speaker to learn (at least I was middle-aged when I Started..) but I seemingly refuse to admit that it is too hard for me!
Another haiku of Uni:…
Another haiku of Uni:
Dawn
He stands on my head
He pleads. Get up NOW. Feed Me!
Then he bites my nose.
I spent a couple…
I spent a couple of days re-doing one of the Peru sections from my last trip. Here’s a direct link to the new stuff.
Better?
