The Artist's Head

Robert "Bob" Arneson was my father inlaw's close buddy when they were growing up and neighbors in Benicia, California. He was a famous artist in his town which happened to die of cancer ten years ago. My husband met him years ago when he was still alive and back then he was already famous.

We were able to visit a place or a park where he donated a piece of art, as you can see it is his head sculpture planted in the said area in memory of him. I can't believe we were there, such a very pleasant place to be...You ask anyone in Benicia and rest assured he will tell you a lot of things about the man, yes that's how famous he was.

Jadyn's Birthday

We celebrated my lil girl's birthday last January 16. It was just so simple, we bought our baby a big cupcake and put some topping in it, lighted a number 2 candle on it and let the girl blow it. Then weekend followed, Rose my friend, threw Jadyn a small feast as her late birthday celebration at her place. We had fun although there were only 7 of us including the two husbands. She received a barbie doll and a floating swan boat from Rose and a ten-dollar cash from Annie eventhough she'd already given her a big girly bike last Christmas.

On that very same day, I was contemplating on how we celebrated her first birthday in the Philippines differently. We had the whole house full of small children and adults. It was quite a grand birthday indeed. Lots of foods were served on the table, a dozen of balloons and a filipino kind ice cream in a cone. Hmm I miss my home country!
