Happy Labor Day
The cell phone calls on the weekends has been my way to reconnect to my past. My friend Dick who can not get out of his place has the world's worse roach problem. I feel for him because when I lived in Oakland, we dealt with roaches, snakes, and whatever undesirable creature that needed to be buried or destroyed or both. Dick also imagines himself on a tropical island in the South Pacific with beautiful Polynesian dancing girls. Dick imagined Georgia, Lillian, Gloria Lopez and me all in sarongs (Dorthy Lamour) type dresses. Dick has a cat named Aloha. She is a very important part of his life. She is his companion. This is a very old picture of Dick and I at the Indian Pow Wow held at the" Orlando Fair Grounds" every year. I called my my former boss "Georgia Linderman" and wished her a happy birthday. Her birthday was September 4, 2009. I also talked with a family from Oakland which I have kept in occasional contact, since moving to New Smyrna Beach. The weekend is over and the cell phone is staying recharged for the next phone call which should be early this morning.

I didn't know that there was an annual pow-wow at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. I will have to check the fairgrounds website to see when it is coming up next. It sounds like it should be a lot of fun. Sometimes Mary and I go to the week-end flea market at the fairgrounds but we are waiting for cooler weather so that it will be more comfortable to walk around. The flea market at the fairgrounds is nice because it is free including the parking. It is nice that you called your former boss to wish her happy birthday. Everyone likes to be remembered on their birthday because it is their one special day of the year. Perhaps a carry-over from childhood because of all the presents, cake, party and hoopla that always occured on our birthday. It was always nice of Lillian to send out the birthday cards. It was always the thought that counted. Mary's birthday is coming up October 13 and I am trying to figure out what to get her. She told me that she wanted an ice cream cake instead of a regular cake on her birthday. The banana split ice cream cake that she got me was really good but I don't want to be a copy cat and get the same thing. I have to come up with an original idea. Do you have any ideas about the type of ice cream cake? When is Lillian's birthday? I don't know it and Mary and I want to be sure and send her a birthday card. Gotta go. Have a nice day. Lew
