Sometimes being a mom doesn’t mean you are related by blood. It doesn’t mean I got to hear your heart beat from the inside, it doesn’t mean you carried me for nine months.

I went to a funeral reception at the Gilroy Elks Lodge and Dave Bozzo is reinstated as the chef. Everything was delicious: the meat, the pasta, the chicken. Just wanted to tell everybody that Dave Bozzo has come back to serve the public at the Gilroy Elks Lodge. It was a delicious luncheon.

Millard Hoyle was the publisher of the Hollister Free Lance many years ago. He was a man well known and well liked in the San Benito County community, and he had a big influence on me going into journalism.

You may have noticed something quite peculiar in the produce section and farmers market these last few weeks. What appear to be “pumped up” string beans are in fact fava beans.

Tux came to Pet Friends with her buddy Flame last year as abandoned cats. Flame was adopted recently, and Tux should also have a home of her own. She is an adult cat (and eligible for the reduced adoption fee for adult cats), litter box trained and ready for a sunny spot on the floor of her new home. She is ok with the other cats here at Pet Friends, and seems to be non-aggressive with the other cats. Tux is moderately playful, and not an "Underfoot" kind of cat. She might be ok with dogs, and she did seem to adapt to the Pet Friends environment fairly quickly. She will come with her shots, and already spayed; all set for a happy life with a new family. If Tux seems like the cat for you, please call or visit Pet Friends to come see her. See our new website at http://www.petfriends.org/, or call us at 831-634-1191. If you'd like to just come by and help Tux (and other cats and dogs) pass the time waiting for their forever home. Pet Friends welcomes volunteers who would like to help socialize cats and dogs. Walking the dogs is always needed, and cats love to play with the people who visit. See our website for  additional information on volunteering with Pet Friends.
