Leslie and I are into taking care of the Mind, Body, and Spirit... Leslie is really good at it
now we are adding... the EARTH! 
Leslie had a brilliant idea to visit a landfill... and of course I said yes... never been....
I was thinking that it was going to be trash everywhere stinky...
Thought people were going to be picking up bottles... you know like Slumdog Millionaire and those 80 cents a day "Save the Children" commercials
Well everything is beautiful in California... even the TRASH --- This was our day!
GloZell waiting for Leslie
At Leslie's new apartment in the Mountains...
see her Magical Creation Box... cool
Calabasas Landfill ( somehow... Leslie and I thought we should still look cute)
You have to pay to dump your trash... even if it's one bag so this is not the place for one household
Kurt was sooo nice... ( average pay 75 Thousand a year)
he told us that trash makes methane gas and so pipes are used to capture the gas so it wont' mess up the ozone and the gas energy is used by Edison... wow didn't know
Green Waste is... lumber, trees, plants... green stuff
I forgot to ask... don't know what a Sukut is
Bob was our tour guide... the landfill is losing money... people are not buying houses... not making as much trash... the landfill has downsized... today they received 1000 tons of trash and the lowest they want is 1400 ....
Calabasas Landfill is only good for 13 more years... in 15 years no more landfills in California!... people will be charged more for their trash to be dumped in the desert....
GloZell with White Trash... (been there done that) White Trash are old refrigerators... they are striped for the metal
It was pretty out there... 
Calabasas landfill covers the trash everyday so no animals dig around then they put grass over it... no smell
Leslie and I up on a tractor...
It's great that they recycle the recycle
see the pipes... filled with gas
everyday trash is dumped here and covered up... bodies have been found here...
What a great Idea Leslie ... 
what a blessing to have a friend who cares about the Earth... we all got to try... and it was fun!
The landfill is up high and they work with the beautiful city of Calabasas below where Leslie and I stopped for a snack...
We had to go to the Kardashian Shop... 
DASH
Not anything to do with Slumdog Millionaire... Leslie and I always eat Vegetarian Indian Food...
we went to " A Taste Of India"... 
just a taste.... the whole country would be way to filling...lol
as Les and I were driving back we listened to the Teachings of Abraham... LOVED IT... when I got home I called SK told him about my day the Landfill, Dash, Indian food... (Leslie, Bob, Me)
I thought SK was going to think I was crazy... SK was very supportive and knows all about the teachings of Abraham... WHAT A GREAT GUY!

Love the pics! You and Leslie are on the right path to saving the earth, one landfill at a time... one amazing gesture after another.
P.S. Your poem brought tears to my eyes. Moving and beautiful.
I know what you mean about the whole making yourself sick... I, too, always try to make my mom proud and seem to fail constantly... whenever it comes to my soldier and to my future, I wonder if the choices I make will settle well with my mom. But I've come to learn that you can't make everyone happy... and this life we've been given belongs to us... one foot in front of the other. You're a wonderful daughter. Everything will work out in the end. It always does.
Love you
Par Par...
Thanks... the landfill was fun... who knew?
Glad you liked the poem... I think it means more to the people who have known me for awhile like you...
You cross my mind with this mother thing all the time so don't want you bloging about trying to please anyone in your family 10 or so years from now... learn from my mistakes...
Thanks ... it has to work out... no plan B
I will be in Orlando for a week starting Tues.... yea!
Take Care... of yourself

GG,
We got back last night. You may not read this for awhile because you've gone to Orlando.
We slept late and packed up Monday PM and left for Brownsville about 3 PM and arrived at Janet and Wanda's at midnight. Janet was my teaching partner in Los Fresnos. He husband was a missionary who had about 30 churches he helped in Mexico. * years ago Don and his husband had gone to the Chihuahua region and put in a well so the people had clean water. They were resting before Church and Don's cousin tried to wake Don, but he'd apparently had a heart attack an he couldn't revive him. Don had promised to slow down after this last trip and have bypass surgery, but it wasn't meant to be. His funeral was HUGE with US/Mexican people sobbing /singing/giving testaments/playing instruments, etc. His death left Janet and their three daughters and Janet's Mom who lived with them.
You and Leslie are quite a team. What are you going to do with the knowledge you acquire? Most landfills aren't like that one. That would be a good field trip for schools or make a good slide presentation or DVD. California leads the US in many implementations. We have recycling here, but Janet doesn't. The are in a poor area and the drug stuff is getting to be a big problem on both sides of the river.
I will tell more about our trip/funeral and comment more on your writings each time until I'm caught up on it. I am going to go backwards on your days writings.
Just have fun and keep things casual/not rushed and don't get sick. Get rest/eat right. Things work out best when we relax and let our true feelings come out.
XXOOOXOOXX,
MD
MD!
You soo how crazy I get when you go out of town... Glad you are back ... sounds like you have plenty of stories....
Sounds like good people ... helping with clean water and all....
Leslie and I ... I don't know what made her think of going to a landfill but I tell you... everyone should go to that one...
I leave for Orlando Tuesday... told my mom I was comming to town... I think she is planning a intervention or something... she has been playing it too cool... so something is up... I think?
Glad everything went as well as could be...
no man knows the day nor the hour...
Take Care
