The Hernando De Soto Historical Society, Inc., is a not-for-profit, community organization of 225 Conquistadors (volunteer members) who celebrate the historical significance of Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto’s landing near the mouth of the Manatee River in May 1539. With his 600 Conquistadors, de Soto claimed possession of La Florida on behalf of the Spanish crown and then began his lengthy exploration of what is now the southeastern United States.

PLEASE!!! NEVER LET IT HAPPENS AGAIN!!!
It was a real terrible and horrible incident that happened yesterday !!
It was about time to leave the office that I thought I should boil some water for drinking tomorrow. It is a small electric kettle that won't take much time to boil about 3 cups of water. I was thinking that by the time either myself or Ah Don would come to the pantry to pick our lunch box for home, and we could off the current easily !!!
Back to home, I cooked the dinner. we sat and ate in front of the TV while watching the American Idol. This AI has been our favour show since we like to compete and bet on the result and guess who would be at the bottom three ..... After the show.... Ah Don continued with his other show "Fringe" and I started to check my e-mails ; talked to my birds " Putera & Puteri " for a while. Soon after that I felt so sleepy and headed upstairs ........ When I was half slept. Ah Don came to the bed .......I asked him to turn off the room light.... then only I remembered, I had not done something in the office....
I asked Ah Don " Did you off the kettle fro me when you last went in to the pantry ?"
Ah Don replied, " Nope ! I didn't notice that you are boiling water !"
OMG.... It was almost 11.20PM........... and we left office around 7.15PM !!!!! The kettle could have been dried and the office could have been on fire!!!!. " What to do ?? What to do ??"
I told Ah Don, we had to rush to the office immediately........but Ah Don asked me to stay and he left immeditely to the office.
This was the worse situation that I have been.I was so worried, nervous and frightened!! What happens if the office burn down ??
While having the fear and the all the negative thought in my mind, I started to chant very hard .........." Please...... don't let undesired incident happen !!
10 minutes after that, I called Ah Don..... ..... he told me nothing happened there! The water was still boiling..... and the water was half full !!!! Thanks Gohonzon and Ah Don.
This cute little kettle was bought from garage sales sometime ago, I use it only once in a while when I felt like making coffee in the office. I didn't know it dose such a wonderful job !!It keeps water warm after boiling !!!.
This incident serves me a good lesson......From now on I must be very careful and make sure all electrical appliances are off before leaving home TO BE SAFE!!!
PLEASE........ NEVER LET IT HAPPENS AGAIN !!!

The Birds April 25
Was getting ready to go to the Hernando DeSoto parade and took some pics of the birds while waiting for BYL. The birds are on the patio on top of their cage. I had some pics of them flying but the pics didn't come out. Soooo, will try to get flying pics this coming weekend.
Nothing real exciting here but we think they are great. Will post pics of the parade soon.

OUR BIRDS - PUTERA & PUTERI
Hmmmm....... Ah Don still can'tell which is "Putera" and which is "Puteri". Obviously, he has difficulty to differentiate them because he does not know that "Putera" means the Prince and "Puteri", the Princess In Malay !
It was "Putera" that shit on his short and not "Puteri "lah ! kakakakakakk....
Both Putera & Puteri have been flying and out of the cage for the whole day. They are interesting and adorable. I like to look at them.
They make a lot of noise to get our attention. However, as soon as we get close to the cage, they keep quiet. They are getting naughty sometime .. sound like quarreling ... but they could be very loving to each other most to the time. See the pics below!
The Birds
Yesterday we went out to do BYLs favorite thing ... GARAGR SALES!!! At one of the sales we found a big cage for the birds and decided to buy it. The new cage is about twice the size of the previous cage.
For a while now, we have let the birds out to fly around the patio, because it is screened in. Putera has been the most adventurous and likes to sit in the jungle (a.k.a. BYL's plants). When Puteri comes out, he flys upstairs and sits on the bed in the front bedroom. Last weekend I had my shorts lying on the bed and Puteri proceeded to shit on them! Hmmm ... was he trying to tell me something!?!?!???
Anyway, today we let them out of their new cage. Putera flew to the jungle and Puteri flew upstairs. After a little while, BYL went looking for Puteri. She could not find him upstairs. So we looked on the patio and low and behold they were both sitting on top of the cage! They have spent most of the morning on top of the cage.
BYL's plants (a.k.a. The Jungle). She adds one or two new plants each week.
{All that flying around made me hungry.}
{HEY! When do I get a chance? You know there is enough food in there for both of us.}

Good Friday
Yesterday was the Christian holiday of Good Friday. We have been working very hard for many months so we took the day off!!! Took a little trip to Naples, Florida. It is about 110 miles south of Sarasota. Very nice area and MUCH warmer than Sarasota. Temperature went up about 10 degrees on the drive down.
We went to the main shopping/eating area downtown for lunch. Forgot to take pictures of our lunch. Guess we were toooooooooooooooooo hungry to spend time taking pics. :))
After lunch we walked down to the beach. It was very windy and BYL HATES the sun, we we did not stay long.
After the beach we drove around Naples for a while and then headed home. It was a nice day out and a welcome break from WORK WORK WORK.
