HELLLOOOOO My Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area… Have been soul searching for a nice something to post and share… its just that kind of day…Sorry sometimes the thoughts just dont flow.. Work has been at a very hectic pace but so appreciative for it… Life is Wonderful… Spring is Springing Up!!  Our climate is just where it needs to be and I hope you’re enjoying and experiencing all Our Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area has to offer…  Happy Spring to All…  have you ever done any gardening??… Its one of my favorite hobbies… last year we traveled to an Iris Farm in Brentwood… here’s a mere sampling of what we saw…

We were so delighted with the bountiful array of colors we had to bring some bulbs home to grow in our own Iris Flower Bed… If you’ve never seen a Bearded Iris and if you enjoy what nature can do… check this out!!…

The first of our bulbs to bloom!!

So Proud!!… Sooo Amazing!!… Enjoy!!…

Cheers Everyone!

Hellllooooo My Beautiful Wonderful Bay Area… How are you all doing?… Today I’d like to bring up Friend-Friends-Friendship… over the course of our lives… there are many many people that cross our paths, some touch our lives in the most unexpected ways… some we only know for a very brief period of time…  I was very blessed and fortunate to meet a woman of great warmth, care and stature but for a very brief period of time… we were only beginning to grow our friendship… this wonderful person Brigitte who always had nothing but warm loving words to share… had a very sudden illness which went into an equally sudden terminal status… was taken from her loving family and all who were touched by her in so many different ways… Brigitte was my Friend… I will miss her dearly… people who exude the warmth, care and friendship she did is sooooo rare these days… she’s someone I will keep in my heart and thoughts forever… I hope you’re blessed with a Friend like Brigitte sometime in your lifetime… 

Her loving Husband Steve told me she wept when she received her first bouquet of flowers from him… not because she didnt like them… she had never received flowers from anyone before… from then on he sent her flowers every Friday no matter what… that was the beginning of their weekend together every Friday…  What I failed to remind him is that Brigitte will always be his bouquet of  flowers… and what a bouquet she was… Cheers Brigitte!!

Good Day my Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area!!…          A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn’t slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American ….Good idea … One light bulb at a time . . .

Check this out . I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose attachments . They were all made in China.
The next day I was inAce Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA . Start looking …

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else – even their job . So,after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track . Let’s get behind her!

My grandson likes Hershey’s candy . I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now.. I do not buy it any more.
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico …Now I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything ..

 This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets . I was in
 the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand labeled, “Everyday Value” I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats – they were the same except for the price ..
The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in – get ready for this – the USA in a company in Cleveland, Ohio…

 So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here ..

 On to another aisle – Bounce Dryer Sheets . .. .Yep, you guessed it, bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA ! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using  for years and at almost half the price!

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA – the job you save may be our own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from overseas companies!

(We should have awakened a decade ago .. . .. . . . )

Let’s get with the program . . . .. Help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U . S . A ..

I passed this on ………. Will you ???????

Helllloooo My Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area!!…  Dim Sum is synonomous to Fun, Good Times, Delicious Food, Variety, Hot Tea and our Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area… or lets say most anywhere where there is a large population of Chinese… As a child growing up in our Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area… my sisters and I looked forward to having our weekly treat of dim sum with our mother… after making the rounds in Chinatown food shopping we got to top off the trip with a meal of dim sum… most dim sum houses are overflowing with folks at noon time… small plates with all kinds of dishes to enjoy!!…  Today… after many many years of  visiting dim sum tea houses throughout the US and the world… one of our very most favorite places is East Ocean Restaurant in the island town of Alameda, CA.

It is owned and operated by a family of sisters… all of whom focus on welcoming everyone who come to dine… It is by far one of the very best places to enjoy dim sum and always always served with a smile….  The mark of any great place to eat is not only the loyalty of its customers but its staff… the staff at East Ocean have been there many many years… there is a devotion to the business and to the people they serve… My husband and I have been loyal customers there for at least 17 years… the food is always fresh and always always served with a smile…  and the price is reasonable… if you’re ever in the mood to have Dim Sum served with lots of smiles… try East Ocean Restaurant.

When you go look for Millie or any of her sisters who will always greet you with a smile and a chat…
