First let me say Hello to all my readers! Also, a Happy New Year to all!
I know that it's been a long time posting anything on my Blog. I even forgot my Password to sign in..lol.
So, anybody that is still with me over the years, Qing and I are closing in on 14 years married now! A lot has happened over that time not here, like our Son is already 20 years old. Plus he just last year became a Marine and we are so proud of him. He's learning to be a Helicopter Tech. and we think that is great for him in the future when he get's out after 6 years. Qing is working as a Care Giver now and I'm retired for 5 years now. Just working to keep up our beatiful yard and if you believe, I just painted our House and all with a 3inch Brush..lol. Had plenty of time and it put on the paint thicker than with a spray gun. Last year Qing gave me a 2017 Ram Truck (6.4l Hemi) with only 27.000 miles on it. Had to pick it up in Albuquerque and drove it back home from there. All I can say, Qing really spoils me like no other. So, otherwise we are doing good...for the condition California is in with those A**holes in Calif. and the White House!

Kind of sad today!
Reflecting back on all the Blog posts, one thing that reminded me going through some of them. It showed me over time that I had won a "Chinese Sister" Lily as I took my Journey finding Qing (my Wife now of almost 13 years). As we communicated for many years, I am now sad to realize that I might have lost her. I have send half dozen of letters to her via Yahoo Mail and have not received a reply back. Got me worried for her, because the last time I received a letter from Lily. That stated her Dad wasn't doing well at all and after her Mom, I think she has lost him also. Plus, she always told me; that she didn't want to interfer with my marriage to Qing. Something I've told her that was never the case, she would always be my Mei Mei. I do wish she is alright and doing well, as I will still try to write to her and see where it goes.

...sorry, but I'll continue where I had left off after Part5 on the earlier Posts later.
I'm somewhat sad today, thinking that I might have lost my Chinese Sister "LILY" from Kunming. After I'd written her twice by E-Mail, I did not get a reply back for months now. I hope she's is ok, especially hence her Father was in somewhat poor health the last time I had contact with her?
It just hurts my heart if she'd lost her Dad too so soon after her Mom passed away.
So here I will post one of the most BEAUTIFUL and heart-warming letter I have ever received from my Lily.

part 5...
Now at my Boss's house we lived for exactly 10 years and it was a wonderful time having this large 3 Bedroom house with a good size backyard. Talking about the backyard; what I remember most...is the LUAU we had for about 40 people or close to it, including my Cousin and his Wife from German that happen to be here on Vacation. To tease my Neighbor (not that I wanted to), we had a Whole Pig roasting all day over a rented BBQ pit. We just couldn't keep all that good smell in our yard...lol. I remember even building a Hawaiian shack complete with Palm and Banana leaves, that I used as a Bar. Gone out got some Hawaiian records and let the LIMBO start. Well, how low can you go? That contest was actually won by my Cousin and I'm guessing it was no more than 12 inches from the ground. I didn't know, they pratice the Limbo in Germany?
So, after the 10 years were up, my Boss wanted to sell the House and move back to Austria. He wanted us to buy it, but the $ 25,000 dollars down we could not come up with that kind of Cash at the time. Which meant, we once again had to look for another place and get ready to move one more time.
The looking didn't take too long, as we found a rental House only a few miles from my work. The only problem facing us there, was it was only a 2 Bedroom home with a good size backyard also. Well, you got to do what you have to do...no more over-look of the Valley anymore at night.
Here is the House, in which we stayed only 2 years. The reason, small AC unit and all it cooled was the living room. Way to hot in the summer month's, where we sleeped often on the living room floor on Sleeping bags.
The photo doesn't show as we seen it, because they had turned the Garage into a room and moved the driveway over to the left. Lousy Job... whoever did the modifying for sure.

...part 4
So married now and wanting a bigger nicer place to live, because Canoga Park wasn't really the safest place to live anymore. Twice, someone had to call Police because; once, because they found someone had OD'd in one of the Apartments- second, one early morning the was actual shootings from one Apartment building towards another in a Gang fight. That was that told us, we need to get out of here.
Lucky for us, there was no need to look for long. My Ex-Boss was moving into a new House and put up his old one up for Lease. So, knowing him well...we had first choice of course. It was perfect for us, a beautiful 1300 sq foot home on top of a hill overlooking the whole San Fernando Valley. Plus with a Fireplace in the Living room. What made this such an easy choice, was the price was about the same as the place we left. So this was the first of our five (5) moves we make together.

One year after moving in together, we'd decided that it was time we get married.We picked a date (05-06-1978), not knowing how easy it would be to remember it later when Anniversaries come around. You see...5-6-78...!
Here is the Little Church that be had picked out to have the Wedding at. There weren't kidding with the name "Little" as one can see in the Photo's below.
...at the time, there was only a Parking Lot right of the Church...not this nice looking Building that is standing there now. Makes the Church really look it's name...lol.

...part 2
Just wanted to add, where I had lived at the time me and Nancy met. To my surprise as I was to find out years later, I was living right next to the Granada Hills High School (Football Field) and encountered lot's of noise on weekends from there. Little did I know, that is exactly where "John Elway" was playing as QB to start his great Career. No wonder it was always that loud!
My first 1-Bedroom apartment is right next to #32 (not sure anymore if mine was 31 or 33). What I do remember, Nancy used to bring me Home-Cooked meals she prepared at her Friends house only to carry them to my place. How sweet was that?
