Walking with Edward--New City!!

My wonderful guy and I moved to Long Beach, CA about 3 months ago and we are enjoying our new city. With the purchase of the new house, comes a lot of new things and activities. We both love the fact that we are very close to our jobs and to many other cities. I used to live in the area about 2 years ago and I am enjoying the fact that I am BACK!!

Walking with Edward (my super puppy) in the new neighborhood has proven to be quite fascinating fun.

The images are in no particular order. I take pictures as I go and if I find something that draws my attention I snap a picture. All these pictures were taken with an iPhone Camera.

This is a "wall" composed of shrubbery and flowers. The neighbors wanted lots of privacy, so this tall plant ran along their wall.

The neighbors down the street, had planted fruit streets on the actual side walk. It was nice.

This is very important. The fence is mine. We had to let others know that my Super Puppy, who weighs in at 16 pounds of pure muscle can kick your little taco dog!!

Down the street, these neighbors had apples growing over their fence. Yum!! One of these days, I will climb the fence and take all their apples!! All of them, wuahahahahahahh

I think this is an avocado tree. Every house on my block and beyond has an avocado tree growing in their front, side, or back yards. Mine is still tiny!! Can't wait to make some fresh guacamole.

For some reason, this tree really fascinated me. It was just sooo straight.

Again, people growing fruits over the fence. If I didn't have a pomegranate tree already, this would be gone!!

Edward's new neighbor and friend. I call this little doggie, "Colitas". Colitas was very nice and he seemed to like Edward, which to me was shocking. Edward is nice, but likeable?, lol. Just kidding

This little dog will go down in history as Edward's arch nemesis. It's name,"Arch Nemesis". This little puppy owns the people down the street and as you can see, they have to take extra precautions when it comes to this dog. You do not want this ferocious beast to get over that fence!! You just don't wanna!!!

Edward posing for a picture.

We end this journey with Edward marking his territory. We are coming back and I am sure Edward wants to make sure he has been there and done that. :)

Thank you everyone for the time.

Cute Picture of September 2011

This picture was floating around on FACEBOOK and it was so adorable, I had to put it on my blog.

I am doing okay. Mostly tired due to some medical issues, but I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and at the end of the month of October, I should have more information. For now, I feel good and hopefully, getting better as time goes by.

I want trees, fruit trees..........

With the purchase of a house, I wanted to add some trees to the front and back yards. It's really sad to see that poor little lemon tree all lonely and sad in the back and nothing, save for some yellowish/green grass growing in the front.

Edward my superpuppy in the back yard with his one tree




What to I envy, what do I want? Like I said, more trees, more plants. This is my sister's home. My mother has done most of the planting since my sister does not have the time to do it since she works 5-6 days a week, just like me, but I am more like 6-7 days.

This is her back yard:

Kitty resting



Orange Tree



Lemon tree



Pommegranate (with the required kitty resting under it's branches)



Persimmons



Tomatoes



Apples



Figs



Hopefully, I will posting my before and after pictures of my back and front yards to show off my new trees and plants.

Funnies....cause I feel like laughing!!

I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately
needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my

My New Home 2011

The years from 2009 to 2011, have been the hardest years to deal with in my life and also the years that have brough me great changes in my life, bad, good and great. I have gone from having my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on many times over and over again, but at the same time, thanks to God, Family and Friends, I have been able to get back on my feet. God is good and I am happy to report that things are finally going well for me with minor set backs.

My wonderful partner and I have bought a home. It feels good to know that you can go home and have your babies surround you (pets) and at the same time know that they have enough room to run around and play. I love trees and roses, but the backyard has one single resident, a lemon tree. It has the biggest and juciest lemons I have ever tasted though!!





I will show the inside in another post. The kitchen is small, but its nice and cozy. The house is 3 bed/1 bath. I wanted 2 bathrooms, but we can always add one later. I can always dig a hole in the back, lol. Kidding!! Looking forward to moving this week and finally having enough room to breathe!!

Easter weekend with family

Fonso and I spent the day with my sister, Lilly, her two kids, Matthew and Ethan, plus my mum.



Sunday April 24, 2011

Out and About Open Market, Ventura CA

On Saturday April 2, 2011, my BF had a game to Umpire at Ventura County Community College.

When Fonso has a game, it takes from 2-3.5 hrs to complete. I usually take the time to go out and about to explore the different areas we visit. Thank God for my GPS system in the car.





















Vendors had all types of wares to sell. I saw home made Pan Dulce, baptism dresses/suits for babies,vegetables old tools, religious images, etc.

























At the end of the day, it was a tiring 156-Mile Round Trip drive, the tops of the mountains were covered in mist and the sky was cloudy. You could smell the rain coming.
I was happy though. We had dinner with Fonso's Umpire Partner, his girlfriend and two other friends at Winchester's Restaurant.
