Hi All!
It's been a while since I have posted, hi Vicki and Carolina's. I am also a So Cal native, hubby and I just moved out in Oct. Grew up in Cerritos and just moved from Yorba Linda (15 years their). Of course we dearly miss our friends and El Torito! Ate thier every Friday night for years! When our house finally sold and we went to pack it up in April I ran to the grocery store and loaded up on the corn cake. Haven't found a replacement yet. Their is a mexican food restaurant in NODA I believe that has pretty good fish taco's according to a fellow employee. Husbands been blending home made Marguerita's.
Hey Dori33, I used to go the Imprint Show in LB, long time ago in the late 80's.
Trader Joe's should be opening next month, can hardly wait and Home Goods is on it's way.
We are huge NASCAR fans, so loving every minute. Good to see we may have some new Bobcats fans, looks like a good team this year. The arena is really nice and also has the largest scoreboard, men like that kind of trivia. Hope you all can make a game or too.
I started eating Mrs. Knotts chicken when I was 3 years old. In fact I bought Knott's Boysenberry jam today. They do carry the high end Knott's Jam at Harris Teeter, $4.99 but worth it!
The fireflies are great but every other bug can go. Infact had a horrible bug incident last night, a house centipede, thank God dead in the guest bathroom sink. Had to look it up on line as we had never seen anything like it and hope to never see a live or dead one again. It was nasty!
We have only been in our house 3 months (Weddington) and are on our 4th bird nest, we have had a Brown Thrush, Blue Birds (babies are probably just about to fly the nest soon, the nest is in our newspaper holder under the mailbox) and we are on our 2nd Cardinal nest. Had about 15 birds at the feeder and only 6 openings on the feeder. We did have to buy the squirel be gone feeder, little stinkers!
We have just joined one of the local car clubs as we have 2 classic muscle cars, trying to make friends with the same interests. So far we have met some really nice people.
Well I should go before this becomes as long as the new Harry Potter Book!
Take care Cali friends.

Goodbye Cali....
always dream of going to one of DUKE AND UNC games growing up. Rams, well I loved Eric Dickerson and Jim Everette when the Rams were in Anaheim. As far as the Dodgers we are a power hitter away Champion team.
