*********-------------------------------------**************-----------------------------------*********

Those of us fortunate to attend Blogville's AWESOME Retreat....(BAR) ...   were to take a small somethingy that would represent the area where we live..    Ernie and I took some thingys from Titusville, Pencil Vane E Ah...  where the FURST EVER Successful Oil Well was drilled by a gentleman named DRAKE.      
    There was a Drawing fur NUMBERS that were put on the thingys that we all brought.   WE got #9 and that was fur what DORY and ARTY and their mama had brought fur the exchange...
    And Boy Howdy did they ever have it Jammed FULL of super California thingys...    Wanna See?


THE BAG was even all decorated with California thingys...  and INSIDE... OMD   a Jar of really delicious Mustard and Dill Sauce... which Mom opened Immediately... so THEY could have it on some HAM LOAF that she baked up.  

 And you KNOW how much Dory and Crew love FLOWERS...  they brought SEEDS for the Wild Flowers that are Native to California.. and Also fur California's STATE FLOWER.. the Orange Poppy.      AND.....  do you see that TUBE thingy?    You will NOT believe what is in THERE...

It is  a      REAL...   West Coast REDWOOD TREE...  the Giant Sequoia...   OMD WE HAVE A REAL REDWOOD TREE...    Now of course it is a BABY one...   butt we are gonna Tend to it very much carefully and HOPE that we can keep it going and GROWING in the COLD during the winter.   WE will put it in a PLANTER and Bring it INSIDE when it gets cold in October...

 There are Instructions for taking GOOD care of it...

Now MOM says that the old Saying is....  NEVER Ever   THANK somebuddy when they give you a type of Plant...  or it WON'T Live and Grow...    SO....   we won't actually say THANK YOU Dory Arty and Mama...     BUTT we WILL Say that we Truly Appreciate the ENTIRE bag of goodies... and we LOVE them.
