I was picked up by my sister, Alicia at the Los Angelos Airport. I was so happy to see her. I was in California. So this is me in Califnornia. You know how I love taking silly pictures of myself. We got a cup of coffee at Starbucks. There aren't any Starbucks around here so that was a real treat for me. Anyway we drove for maybe 45 minutes to her Huntington Beach apartment which she shares with my mom. (my mom was in Thailand and wouldn't be home for another day. So I walked in and Sage was there. She was really fat, so I grabbed my camera and that was the first picture I took in California.The following day I was expecting to be home by myself and mom was going to come back the day after. But we were both surprised when Lish called me before her lunch and was to me when mom walked in the door. We are all surprised. My mom didn't even know I was coming to California and Lish and I didn't expect her home until the next day. So then Lish came home for lunch and I saw her as a teacher I took a picture. I have a picture of Sage in my Nifty Photo Album. That was before she went to California at Christmas time and look at how fat she got since then. This picture is on the Riverside Pier, I think thats what it was called. In Huntington Beach. These are the volleyball nets. and this is the other side, taken at the same spot. Anyway, mom and I went up to the pier and I took this cool picture of her. Now tell me she's not the prettiest 50 year you've ever seen! Back at the apartment there are these stray cats that were really shy and i was slowly trying to aproach them. I got close enough to this one to take some pictures. I have lots, but I just scanned these two. There's a kitty in the background too, can you see it? In this one--> And then Sage was inside getting all mad at me. It was some good bonding time with mom and I. We went to Beverly Hills and drove past some famous people's houses. My camera went wacko so I don't have those pictures. But I got a lot of pictures of the Hollywood sign. That was really exciting for me. This is my favorite picture of it. Then we needed a picture of me in it. And of course just one more for the road. On Saint Patrick's Day mom and I went to the Price is Right, a week before, The Roseanne Show. The Price is Right Show airs April 20th so be sure to tape it for me. I don't get called up, but I know I'll be seen. Email if you want to know where I sit and everything. This is the CBS building in Studio City in Los Angelos where the price is right show was taped. We waited forever in lines. We got there at 5 in the morning and they started taping at 2:30 that afternoon. When mom and I left we saw these girls getting their picture taken in the parking lot and I recognized the one in the middle as a girl that got called up on stage. She was holding an autographed picture of Bob Barker. We walked around Hollywood then, also, and I took mom's picture with John and Yoko. I thought it was cool. On another day Mom, Lish and I went whale watching. That was a new experiance. So here's a whale for ya. This is me and Lish on the whale boat. This was off Balboa Island. We saw some dolphins. And there were sea lions as well. I could only get this picture of one which was kinda lousy. Oh I can't forget the ducks that we saw. There was this girl duck that was sitting there quacking, calling her honey and finally he came over, so I took a picture of them swimming together. I thought that was neat that he came when she called. On the way home from one of these place I took a picture of one of California's freeways. With beautiful Los Angelos in the background. Look! Its the Good Year Blimp! It was getting close to the end of my days there in California and mom took me to Laguna Beach, neighbor of Huntington Beach. I got mom and the gorgeous beach in the background. I saw these little girls playing in the water in front of us. The water was really cold, so they would stand there in the sand and let the surf roll over their feet and they'd scream when it got to them. They really looked like they were having such a good time. We past Newport Beach which is where the movie stars go, Lish says. This was just a pretty picture off the Pacifac Coast Highway. Mom and I went to Santa Monica, also. We went to the Block in Long Beach, which is like a really big shopping place thats like a big mall outside. I should've taken my camera in, but I didn't. Anyway at Santa Monica we went to this really big plaza type thing there in Santa Monica. I can't think of what its called. Help me here, mom. And my final day in California mom said, what would you like to do, and I said, I would like to go out to the pier on Huntington Beach. This was my final picture taken in the blessed place called California. . The end.
