Doc, this Kingdom business of warmth, flowers, sunny beaches, and old friends
could become very dangerous.
You could be packing out of the frozen midwest in no time.
Yes, it could be a seductive devil in disguise.
You know, I have become one of the helpless victims before I knew it.

Anyway, welcome to Southern California !!
Our best wishes for your enjoyable stay.

Thank you, WM, for the welcome, the friendly warning of a concerned friend, and
your help putting this on.

The seductive devil would be an accurate description,
my heart tells me.
Hopefully Southern California will remain just that, a vacation land,
a dream land.

Nice hear from you from Southern California. Dr. Lee!

Enjoy while you are there and don't forget to come back
to where you belong,ha,ha.   KJ

Good to hear from you, Dr. Hwang.
Michigan is where I buried my heart a long time ago.
Thank you for reminding me where my home is.

Dr. Lee.

I lived in Montreal 10 years. Snow in the back yard until May!
One day, I decided to quit the place for milder weather.

I had 9 job interviews visiting various places from LA to San Francisco with a book in hand:
where to retire with small income.

California looked like a heavenly Kingdom when I saw endless free way with flowers.
I was so impress by the freewayside Oleander trees then, which I planted everywhere,
to make a "Kingdom" with my snow phobia.

Now Oleanders are everywhere in our Napa home and are becoming a maintenance headache
which I must endure, like snow removal.

Now I miss snow!
