I love getting up and reading my e-mail, it's like getting a long letter from someone you like, and you just know it's going to be interesting !!! Doug, After my mother married for the third time, my mother and her new husband, bought a home in a town named Azusa. It's about 40 miles outside of Los Angeles, near the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains. It was a brand new home, no lawns, just dirt our side, no fences, really no nothing. My step father was going to put in the front lawn, he had gotten some mulch, so the next thing was to dig up the ground and mix the mulch into it, well, everywhere we dug, rocks, and more rocks. After about two week ends of digging,and removing rocks, he mixed in the mulch, he planted the grass seed, and for the first month or two, every time he water, little rocks kept coming up in the new lawn. My stepfather told everyone that we grew rocks, and if you could have seen all the rocks we had piled up, you would have believed it. Come to fine out, they built those homes on a old Rock Quarry. LOL Jeannie Your tale about the Mountain Lion !!!! Well, last week in the foot hills, there was a Mountain Lion, one family caught a photo of the Mountain Lion on their outdoor security camera, he was pretty big, and one family had a dog ( a boxer, pretty good size) that disappeared. The man kept saying he might have run away, but they kept him outside, (you just know that mountain Lion got him) These same foot hills are always having Brown Bears coming down into peoples yards in the heat of summer, they come down for water, and some times they go swimming in peoples back yard swimming pools !! We have all kinds of animals come out of our mountains !!! Lisa Talking about eggs, last week we went shopping for my sister-in-laws and the one thing they wanted was EB Egglands Best eggs, the company claim all kinds of things, like they are better than regular eggs, but they do cost a little more. Well, my husband said to me, "lets get some of them for ourselves too" now I usually buy the extra big regular eggs, but we did buy some of those EB eggs ( each egg has EB stamped on it) I can't taste the difference, but my husband who can't tell when milk has turned sour !!! Said "he thinks they taste better than the eggs we usually buy !!! Well, what do I do, get the eggs he thinks taste better, or go with the eggs that are extra large, and are not so pricy ??? Don't tell me to buy both, what if I want to scramble them ??? I woke up this morning not feeling good, last evening I had this hot flash, my face turned bright red, and I felt my face, it was burning up too. I took my temperature and it was normal, so just put a washcloth, soaked in cold water on my face, till it felt cooler. I think I also got my face sunburned yesterday when I was outside in the garden, I watered and than pulled a few weeds, was just cleaning around some pots and, kind of puttered around, maybe out there for 45 minutes. Didn't even think about putting any sun lotion on my face ??? but will next time I go out !!!! Well that's all for know folks, have to go !!!! Sully in Sunny California

Hey!  I know about Azusa--everything from A-Z in the USA!  I spent a couple of weeks there in 1971.  My aunt lived there and I went to California for a national conference of an organization I belonged to, being a true Scot I wasn't going to pay all that money to go out there for 3 days so I visited my mother's next youngest sister.  I didn't know this aunt very well but I had a great time.  She was a real good tour guide and took me to all sorts of interesting places. The conference was at Disney so I saw more than enough of that. My aunt took me to the big ship, Queen Somebody, an aquarium in San Diago, a safari type place where we drove around and saw African animals, and, best of all, a restaurant out in the "pucker brush" east of there which appeared to be a collection of old shacks--but the food was excellent, the only place I've ever had squid!  My cousin took me to Solvang--I still have the cornhusk figures I bought there.  Oh yes, I twisted auntie's arm till she took me into Mexico--Tiawana--I never knew such squallor existed till I drove through that town. One day we went into LA to a shopping mall where I bought a bikini, more noted for the fabric it DIDN'T have than what it did have.  Marion's neighbor wouldn't let her teenage son go out the back door of their house if I was sunbathing in the back yard in it, LOL. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Olivera street where  I learned that I don't have any use for Tekelah.  I also can't abide Avacados, Marion got some as a TREAT--UGHH, they are AWFUL! Enough of my travelogue.  Ruth   On Tue, 7 Jan 2014 10:39:08 -0500 (EST), Sullyshirl73@aol.com wrote: I love getting up and reading my e-mail, it's like getting a long letter > from someone you like, and you just know it's going to be interesting !!! > Doug, After my mother married for the third time, my mother and > her new husband, bought a home in a town named Azusa.
