Then the weather, generally useful, the calendar for the day with the next 1-2 events, again useful. Top Apple News stories which is OK but I have not yet succumbed to subscribing. A Map, a bit of a mystery for me and not yet useful. And then there is the best of all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the photo! Generally, some combination of Grandkids like today&#8217;s where we were going to the 2019 Santa Claus parade with all of them together, which is a bit of a rare event to go somewhere all together with just Shirley and I.  As I recall it was like hearing cats, but a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s not Grandkids it&#8217;s some other photo that Apple has figured out as a &#8220;Featured Photo&#8221;. Not sure how they do that. Some of them I&#8217;ve flagged as &#8220;liked&#8221; other are well&#8230; just photos that show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always brings a smile to my face and an extra bit of happiness to my day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so I&#8217;m a bit of an Apple fan, not quite a fan boy, but up there.
