In case you're aware but have not heard
This is now my spoken word
I'm moving to Cali the wonderful place
Can't wait for the sun to shine upon my face

There I've found friends with which to stand
Maybe even kindly to hold my hand
It's also about business I'll be able to work
No mor feeling like a worthless jerk

Living in a house where I'm welcom and wanted
Not feeling abused, tortured and haunted
This move is for the good of my soul
Change is a good thing that will make me again feel whole

I'm looking forward to the new things now facing me
Where will I go first taking in all with smiles of glee
The vineyards and farms or the beach and the sand
Mountains and oceans both in this wondrous land

Spending time with friends that will truly care
Teaching me things of which I should be aware
My first attempt at eating sushi in that unusual place
While looking into a friendly laughing face

Walks in the park during daylight and dark
Feeling my life renewed with a brightening spark
My friends all gathering close to me
Thank you for helping with the changes you now see


North Hollywood here I come!!!!!

Your new space is waiting... welcome home.

Thanks Mom!!!

I will be there Tuesday David!!!!! Thank you!

Hey, does she get a pair of ruby red slippers too? (back to the smart@ss poem)

Ruby slippers take you to Kansas, it'd still be a long walk back to Iowa, and wearing Ruby slippers would probably hurt

LMAO!!! Nope this means I get to go barefoot and not have to walk in snow!!!

I was in Hollywood yesterday. I ate at Pinches Tacos for the first time. Supposively one of the best places to eat in Hollywood. You can just say I tested it for you Vicki The carne asada tacos were great! The rice and beans, could use some work
Mainly flavor.

Mmmmmm, Sushi. it. Haven't had it in about 6 months.

Great Write Vicki.

(rolling out the welcome to Hollyweird mat)

Jason... Will you be that friendly laughing face that takes me for sushi the first time?

You will start a new chapter I am sure
Wish all your dreams to come true

Beach woman!!!!!

GO TO THE BEACH!!!!!!

Thanks Bob! All my dreams are of finer things that are the little and simple things in life. They will happen!

The beach will happen but the vineyards and mountains call me!

Are you getting fresh with me!? Of course I will take you out for sushi.


Sushi! Weeeeeeeee!

Awwww off to Calif she goes girl hope your journey is all you have dreamed of!

Me get fresh with you? Now that's fresh!!!!!

I can't wait!!!!! This will be a fun page in the new chapter!

Thank you my wonderful friend!

Thanks Kristi!

n. Hollywood? Ok do not, repeat, do not miss the Halloween parade. Or just go down sunset any Friday night, same thing. As for the sushi...see if Jason will take you to Philipe's instead, get the double dip then drive up to Chavez Ravine and take in a game.

Come on up and take me yourself!

I will keep all of these things in mind thank you for the suggestions!

Haven't seen you writing much lately what's up with that?

I miss you!

Haven't been able to write lately just can't seem to make sense of anything (not that I ever could) haha!!

I will be out there in Aug I think. I have that, I've got to get back home, feeling again so maybe you're on... Who knows?

Vicki to your new found home, your calm and your enlightment,, may this journey set you free and heal your soul...

I will be in Pasadena in April,, (Easter) week I so hope we can sit, chat, laugh and cry together

Blessed be
