Looking at Jimmy's previous experience, I have a feeling that good things will be in our future here at THD.  Again, my personal welcome, here at THD. May your employment be a happy and a long one.  

Again, with the hiring of Nisha and Jimmy and perhaps a new Activities Manager, THD will continue providing the best possible quality of life to all its 158 THD residents. I hope that THD mission to help its senior residents stay healthy, active, and engaged in the community through meaningful activities and programs that promote physical fitness and mental well -being will continue and flourish with this new THD management team.  

I also hope that my daily blogs will continue promote a  sense of community belonging, inform and educate residents in my Distribution List. I would also hope that the new THD management continue support my blogging activities via positive comments, both written and verbal.  

Personal Note: I was introduce to Jimmy this morning by Nisha. Meeting him in person gives me hope that a better Residents communications/relationships will be in the Future to all of us. I told Jimmy I gave him 6-months to memorize all the names of the 158 residents.   I also told him I write a daily blog and he will be featured today. He appeared to be ready for the challenge. Again, I have plans to talk to you and with Nisha, my hopes for the future and further enhancement of our quality of life here at THD.    

Aung Maylika- Burmese Cuisine in Benicia

I treated Ditas( my youngest daughter)💚 on her 61st Birthday last night (Sunday) to a Burmese Restaurant in Benicia, Aung Maylika. In our party were: Dinah, my oldest daughter, Dodie ( my oldest son) and his wife, Ruth Carver. This was my first time to enjoy Burmese food. My impression is : It is delicious and flavorful and it reminds me of some Filipino dishes that I love. We ordered the tea leaf salad, samosa soup, eggplant/shrimp dish, mango lemon shrimp, pork and vegetable in oyster  and both white and brown rice. 

 The samosa soup has both tamarind and curry. So it taste like the Filipino sinigang and the Indian curry soup. Burmese Food like all Asians Cuisines has to be Shared. 

I took some pictures during and after our dinner as follows:

After Dinner we went back to Dodie's House, Play Chinese Mahjong and open Ditas gifts. Ditas won our mahjong game with her 7-pair hands below.
