A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat. Relax . . .
And read this slowly.
That just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
It doesn’t mean they do love each other.
I Believe…
That we don’t have to change friends ifJust can resist the urge to brag about my home town. I moved to La Verne when I was in 3rd grade and have great memories of running through the orange groves, flying kites in the street and playing ball in the empty fields with the neighborhood kids. Sure is nice to see that one of my former neighbors is now the Mayor!

Someone shared this in an email, I don’t know where the original started but the quote is attributed to Jay Leno.
The vaquita porpoise is a Critically Endangered species of true porpoises and it lives in our neighborhood, a tiny area in the extreme northern Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California, in Baja California, Mexico. Last week we attended a very informative presentation by Dr. Thomas A. Jefferson about these endearing creatures.
Jefferson shared the challenge of protecting the remaining vaquitas while acknowledging the difficulty of making major changes in local fishing practices in an economy where fishing is big part of survival. The major danger to vaquita population is the current practice of using gill (nearly invisible) nets to gather fish and shrimp from the waters off the eastern coast of Baja.
In an effort to keep this page more current I have decided to share some of the cool things I come across in my daily emails and facebook events. These will be posted in the Just for Fun section of this blog. I will try to always add a personal note or comment to keep you, our friends up to date on our travels and activities, along with sharing the news article I found coolest that day.
Yesterday, we went back to our old workplace and visited with some great friends from our pre-retirement days. As Chuck so aptly puts it. We really miss the people but the jobs.
Thank you Patty Bell for sharing this great video from sanfelipeproductions.
Can’t keep this one to myself.
I have finally found an ebook reader that I think is worth the investment. This one is on my wish list for Mother’s Day, Birthday, whatever!
Barnes & Noble and Google are working together to provide the coolest portable ereader out there.
The nookTM beats out the competition hands down.
With it you can
“…millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including tens of thousands
who cross the land border daily for study, tourism or business and nearly one million U.S.
citizens who live in Mexico…”
Okay, so today it a new beginning. Chuck and I have decided to tackle Joyce Vedral’s 12-Minute Workout Program together. We just finished the first day program. Follow along and let us know how you are doing and we will do the same.
I was perplexed by the negative feedback on this video. So much hate coming from an effort to share love with others. Personally I am not, nor ever was, a Michael Jackson fan but I think the sentiment behind the production is bigger than any one person involved and God has always used cracked pots to accomplish his work.
Don’t let hate win. Do what you can to help.
