Missing Jay


This was our last visit with good ole Jeremiah. We are missing him and wondering about him.


Mentoring gives to both the mentor and the mentee and the mentor's son.


We are trying to track him down in his new state. My mom has to ask the agency if they know his mom's new number because it changed again. I really want to start being his pen pal and continue our friendship through the postal service.


Last puppet show.


From our last trip to OMSI the science museum.


Other kids sometimes ask if we are brothers.


A kid here asked and we said No, and then he asked if we were best friends and we said, Kinda.


Anyway, just wanted to show you these final photos so you could also remember Jay.


He's probably having fun in his new town and his mom was going to get him a new mentor.


But pretty much a longshot his new mentor would have a son who would also become his kinda best friend.


Good luck, Jay!

THINGS I'VE BEEN DOING:

T-BALL !


I was on a T-ball team this year. No outs, no score, everybody hits. Awe-some.


My Team, The Alameda Dentals.


Connecting. Slugging. Secret weapon: Lefty.


T-ball is just the beginning of my sports activities for this summertime. It's very hard for me to decide which one I like best and which sport I should go pro in because I am pretty pro at all of them already, I think.

Soap Plant 40 Year Reunion Weekend

While my mom was in LA, she went to a 40 year reunion of her old work the Soap Plant/Wacko/Zulu/La Luz de Jesus Gallery, which has been a Los Angeles icon since the 70's and my mom gave a decade of her life to being part of the weirdness. She saw friends from the Nineties and beyond and it was really strange and kind of fun:


Who remembers Roxy?


Or Paz?


Everyone brought their babies and kiddies.


Pinky of Melrose.


The infamous Estefan Bravo.


Wise ole Joseph Brooks.


Renee! This was my mom's best pal from those days on Melrose Ave.


And the man behind the myth, who started it all and still keeps it going -- Mr. Billy Shire.
