Mothers Day is Coming

I just found out that on Mother's Day, Tony and I and Angela are going to Disneyland and have dinner with Carolyn Rolando and their little brood. Should be lots of fun. Love Disneyland, there is so much to see and do there. Well I am celebrating as it has now been almost 9 months since I've been in a hospital. Whoopee...that is so cool. I can only hope that my doctors and of course the Master Physician-Jesus are healing me. I so want to be totally well again. I go to a gym now where I can work out and use their oxyget outlets ...yes I am still on oxygen. I work out and do the stuff that is good for my breathing and of course cardio. Life is so good.

The Return of the Jedi

Well, I may not be as exciting as a Jedi Knight, but I have returned. Thanks to King Leo for giving me the right information and heading me off in the right direction, I am back. I haven't bloged since October of 07. Got a new computer and e mail addy. Am now having fun playing in My Space. King Leo, thank you a million times over. If you talk to Teri Yaki or Dr. Lao tell them hi for me. This month makes it 7 months that I've managed to stay out of the hospital. Praise God.!! My doctors are pleased and two of them feel like I may just beat this nasty decease. Well that's it for now. Hope to get out here again. Ta ta.

Flora From Mars

Its been ages since I've blogged. That is becuase I had nothing to blog about. However take a look to the left and behold!! A flower that has no no name, and no point of origin that I know of. It was a gift given to us 20 yeas ago. I brought it along when we moved and it is thriving. The flower is a perfect star. khaki color with light maroon whiskers on it. the center is very sticky and flies and gnats just love o live in it. It is about 3 feet wide and if anyone wants some I can share . Below the flower are some pods getting ready to open. Tony calls it the body snatcher plant. Hey Teryakisays, if you see this let me know what you think

The Last of Paso Robles for our club

Well, it finally happened. The city of Paso Robles, has made it clear that they no longer want West Coast Kustoms to hold their May 31 cruise there. For 25 years we held it in Paso, They made a ton of money off us. If it were no for our club, Paso Robles would be just another name for a tiny nowhere town in Central Calif. The merchants there doubledthe prices of everything and made some good coin. But if that is the way the town wants it, we are gone. I would love to see the results of the next election for City Council and Mayor. Betcha none of the incumbents gets revoted in. So sadly we bid goodbye to Paso and happily say Hi to Santa Maria.

BEEN A LOOOOONG TIME SINCE I BEEN HERE.

Gosh, it's been a long time since I've been to my blog site. I have missed it. I miss Dr. Lao and King Leo, guess I will have to try and get into their blog sites. Well the end of a glorious era is here. For the last 15 years, we've been going to the West Coast Kustoms car show that is held in Paso Robles. Just found out yesterday that we will no longer be meeting in beautiful Paso Robles. Seems Paso, has a problem with car clubs, we are a bunch of old farts and cause little or no trouble. However, all is not totally lost, the town of Santa Maria , loves the color of our money and so we will be doing our show there. Should be great. We are really looking forward to it.

LIZARDS CAN SWIM

Meet Kupa...She is a four foot long iguana. She is my daughter's pet. When they were here a few weeks ago, she put Kupa in the pool. That was a trip. She immediately swam to the bottom and remained submerged for about 15 minutes. Angela got a little nervous and pulled her to the surface. Kupa was fine. We found out they like to swim and are able to submerge for long periods of time. Kupa is very docile, very intelligent and yes, she even knows the sound of Angela's voice. She eats, banana's, mellon, collard greens but her favorite is frijoles, yes beans either boiled or fried. She also enjoys sunning herself, sleeping on Angela's bed and is very curious about everything around her. I never knew that lizards were so smart, well, live and learn.

LADY'S HAIR CUT

Well we finally had to do it. Lady our Turkish Angora had to have a haircut. Her fur was so matted and full of fur balls and I couldn't get them out. She seems quite happy being rid of all the fur. She looks wierd, but at least now she can go out at night with us and be comfortable. I am so excited, Leonard and RAchel are coming over today to spend the weekend with us. We love haveing them over as they are so much fun to be with. I told Rachel, be sure to bring your bathing suite. Just hope she did. Have a great weekend.

Butterfly Kises

We saw the butterfly aviary last week. I have never seen so many gorgeous butterflies. This is a picture of a few of them feeding. They put a plastic sponge into a cup of special nectar and the butterflies love it. There are actually four here. I love the balc and yellow striped and the yellow swallowtails. Today is Sat. and I am excited. Old friends, Leonard and Rachel Aguilar are coming out for a visit today. We always enjoy them as they are so much fun to be with. It's quite warm here, but everything is air conditioned. I told Rachel to bring their bathing suites. hope they do. We are looking forward to a blessed weekend. Have a good weekend to whomever reads this.
