HELLO SPEAKIES,
Hoping you all had a relaxing Monday evening. I know a lot of you workers out there are tired from working on Monday, but I have a holiday for you to enjoy tomorrow, April 3. "DON'T GO TO WORK, UNLESS IT'S FUN DAY." If your work place is not one of occasional fun, jokes and laughter, my advice is to stay home and have fun.
CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL - Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees for Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to the city of Washington, DC. The annual celebration pays honor to the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan. This lasted until World War II began however, the sands of time has erased any hard feelings and the close relationship with Japan continues today. A batch of 2,000 diseased trees arrived in 1910. Through the coordination of our governments, Dr. Jokichi Takamine, a world famous chemist and Dr. David Fairchild of the U.S. Department of Agriculture solved the problem, more trees arrived and were planted once again.
YO-YO DAY - Another fun toy I could never master. I could only stand there and make it go up and down for a short period of time. Other kids were walking the dog and all those other tricks, the yo-yo became a toy I could live without.
Going to make this a short post today as other duties are calling to me. Have a great day and enjoy.

Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

Joe, do you remember the Korean fellow who would show up once a year on the corner at Willet's? He would wear a Korean Army outfit with generals stars and do all kinds of stuff. He would also hawk Duncan Imperial Y0-Yo's to us Saint Hedwigs kids.

I can't remember that guy at all. Still remember those 2 brothers who owned that candy store across the street from school, real grouches.
