I am answering a question this month that was not written but has been repeatedly asked of me. “Why is there a negative campaign against GSMOL in this community?”
My answer to this question is very short and to the point. The creator of those notices placed in our mail tubes just prior to GSMOL meetings has no understanding of what GSMOL is and more importantly why we so desperately need them in this community.
GSMOL is not an HOA. They do not even recommend we establish an HOA. The only time we would need an HOA is if we as a community would need to hire a lawyer to bring a lawsuit against our community managers or Sun Communities. At this point in time, we do not need an HOA.
As explained on the GSMOL page in this newsletter, page 12, we need to protect ourselves with a Space Rent Stabilization Ordinance (SRSO). If you have questions about what that is or how it will work for our community please visit the GSMOL website at GSMOL.org. On the home page, in the upper right corner is a pull-down menu for RENT STABILIZATION which will explain in detail what it is. You do not have to be a member of GSMOL to access this information. If you are a member, you can also access many other areas of the website including current and back issues of the Californian, the GSMOL quarterly magazine. Members can also access numerous areas with information regarding life in a mobile home community including Town Hall meetings by GSMOL attorney Bruce Stanton who is very knowledgeable in (Mobilehome Residency Law) MRL law.
As said in the recent flyer purporting to expose the truth about GSMOL, you can access the MRL by simply requesting a copy at our community office, because it is the law that they are required to do so.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank GSMOL for all the hard work they do in lobbying on our behalf to make the laws that are contained within the MRL and protect us as Mobilehome owners. That is precisely what the yearly dues of $25 supports, and that is why you should join GSMOL.
As always if you have any questions regarding GSMOL please contact any of us on GSMOL Chapter 0511 board of directors for information that is not tainted with inaccurate and biased information.

Before you know it, the words “Spring Break” will be on everyone’s lips. For many, that might conjure images of college students heading to tropical beaches. But in your family, it could mean a call from your daughter or son who needs a safe, fun place for your grandkids to spend the week. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to keep them entertained, enriched, and returned in one piece all while making wonderful memories together.
Whether your grandkids are toddlers or teenagers, spring break can be a fantastic time to shake off winter’s gloom and get out in the sun again. Below are a handful of retirement community activities sure to keep little ones happy rain or shine and strengthen your bond across generations.
If there’s a park or playground near your community, don’t just stroll make it an adventure! Write down items for your grandkids to find, such as an acorn or a feather. For older kids, use rhyming clues or more challenging objects. Bring a camera and snap pictures of things beginning with each letter of the alphabet. If the weather is uncooperative, adapt the scavenger hunt indoors by gathering treats or small items from neighbors down the hall.
Forget your grandchild’s baby books dig out your child’s old photo albums! Children love seeing their parents as kids, learning about their first words, funny mishaps, and the silly things they did at the same age. This glimpse into their mom or dad’s childhood can be a real eyeopener.
Once everyone’s excited about stories, head to the public library to find something new (or old!) that they’ll love. Many libraries offer story hours or special spring break events for children of all ages. While you’re there, choose a book together, then start a mini-book club discussing characters, plot twists, or fun new facts you’ve learned.
If you have access to a kitchen in your community, this is a sweet option in more ways than one. Baking with your grandkids is a chance to pass on family traditions measuring, stirring, waiting patiently for the cookies to bake and to share how your own parents or grandparents taught you. The reward, of course, is a fresh batch of treats to enjoy with a big glass of milk.
Your jewelry box is like a time capsule. Children especially tween and teen girls love trying on sparkly treasures. Each piece likely has a story, from vintage brooches to anniversary rings. Let them hear the tales behind these keepsakes (if you trust them, let them try items on!), and you’ll be sharing family history they’ll remember fondly.
If you can drive, your local options abound take them to the zoo, the beach, or on a scenic day trip. For an extra treat, hop on a short train or boat ride where you can watch the world drift by. Snacks, games like “I Spy,” and even a friendly card tournament make the journey special (and often nap-inducing for little ones).
If you belong to AARP or AAA, explore travel discounts on lodging, car rentals, and theme park tickets. Just watch those age requirements “children stay/eat/play for free” may only apply up to a certain age, and “seniors” may start at 50 or 70.
The bottom line: Have fun with your grandkids this spring break, so everyone goes home feeling refreshed, happy, and ready to do it all again soon.
1st, 3rd, and 4th, Tuesdays
For people that don't know me, my name is Patty and I am Carla's daughter. I am the middle child, and mom's favorite daughter. Here with my older brother Rick and my younger Alex. We are so grateful for all of you who have come to support us today to celebrate mama's life and it shows how much mama was loved and cherished by all of you.
My forever guardian angel. When you were alive or now, that is what you are. Mom the Angel, not just to me and my 2 brothers and our fur babies but to many people she loved and met during her 88 years. Every ones heart she touched she left with love and caring memories. She lived a remarkable life with love laughter and adored all the friends she made along the way. Always ready to help even with the pain she was in. She fought through her own pain to help those in need. I especially know that. How she helped me in many ways while I was suffering myself due to this painful fibromyalgia. At the end of the day if I made it to work we both sat down, she said " I'll rub your back if you rub mine". Thats how we spend many evenings on the couch but of course lots of times she fell asleep when it was her turn
to massage my back. She still tried to make dinner before I came home. But other nights she called me on the way to pick up something to eat. Especially her favorite Chili relleno. I think she hit every Mexican place in town to see who made the best. Or we just ate cereal, Lucky Charms, her favorite. But she always told me, "what about the vegetables?” You have to eat vegetables" She even told this to my friends that had come over and she wanted to know what they ate. "What? What about vegetables? You have to eat your vegetables.” Its good for you.” She started to eat less and less. I was just giving her anything she liked just to get food in her stomach. Until the time came she wasn't that hungry at all anymore and couldn't finish her dinner, but always had room for her Spumoni Italian ice cream. I got her hooked on that. When she was still able to drive she went to Stater Brothers and bought 2 or 3 tubs at a time, being afraid they might run out. I told her she had to finish her dinner before she can have her dessert. I gave her some time to eat and she said "look, all done, now dessert". We smiled and then we laughed. My mom being a little girl again. I can’t get that smile out of my head. She finished her bowl of ice cream with no problem. The next day when I woke up, I found the bowl back in the sink so I know she helped herself to more ice cream after I'd gone to bed. I had to laugh to myself and got this warm feeling inside me thinking how much I love her and the little things she did to make me smile.
My mom was born in Indonesia November 4, 1936. But I was not there. Frequently, she talked about her younger years. She remembered a lot about the war and was able to tell me in detail what had happened. Even though she had told me many times before but I always listened. That was a very difficult chapter in her life she never forgot. She should of written a book.
In 1952, my mom and her family moved to Holland. Where she made very good friends with whom she still had contact, until she passed. She did have good friends that passed before her. RIP Tante Irene. She told me of the happy times they had, the dance nights they had with many friends. They all crashed on the floor and slept. All so innocent, she said, “Nice slumber party”. I was never allowed sleep overs with boys when I was here age. During that time, she met my dad RIP papa. While he was still studying she always sat on his lap. I don't know how he was able to accomplish his studies.
My parents got married in 1958, in Schiedam, the Netherlands, where they had 3 kids. Rick being the oldest, then myself and I love being the only girl, and Alex or who I call Bob because that's what he wanted me to call him. His middle name is Robbert after mom's brother uncle Bob. RIP uncle Bob.
We moved to the US in December of 1974 to join the rest of mom's family. She was a stay at home mom until little brother was in High School. She started working at Jax donut shop getting up early in the morning to open up shop. Even though she was scared because she always believed her English was not good but she did well.
She met her best friend Lilian. RIP Lilian, at a grocery store while she was shopping with Oma and Opa, our grandparents. Our families became very close over the years. Lilian worked at the snack bar at Naturway where she helped my mom get a job in sales selling vitamins. Mom learned a lot about vitamins and looked it up in books with the customers if she didn't know the answer. Always helping. Even men where asking her questions for their "personal" needs if you know what I mean, so I started calling her Dr Ruth. She worked there for about 18 years before she retired in 2001. She said she was ready to retire, as she was getting tired at the age of 65. We gave her a big birthday/retirement party.
We both moved in with Oma when I moved back to Cali from Nevada. It was a challenging time as Oma had dementia. Once Oma passed away they sold the house and mom and I bought a mobile home in 2005 in a senior community. Thank god that I was allowed there also since i was still a youngster.
One night she looked thru the windows at the Clubhouse where they were playing bingo. She said, "Pat, look at all the Tante Etty's. All the grey haired people" I said "mom, if you don't dye your hair you will be just like one of them" she looked at me, yes you are right.
Eventually, she joined. Card Bingo every Monday night where she made many wonderful friends. Coming home after bingo she had to tell me if she won or not, and said that Irma was teasing her as always. But she never minded that. She had fun. She even was upset if she had to miss a Monday for whatever reason.
Mom also loved dancing. She used to go many Saturdays nights with our Uncle Wim. RIP Uncle Wim. Country dancing is what they loved. We called them "Fred and Ginger" and they even won some dance contests. She
also went dancing at the AVIO, the Dutch club, where she made many friends. Wherever there was a party and music you could find mom on the dance floor. Even at events at our Clubhouse. We loved watching her do the twist with our neighbor Andy. She didn't want to pass up that dance, but then had to take Tylenol afterwards. At home I found her dancing with Tommy in her arms our chihuahua, and he loved it. But unfortunately those good old days came to an end when she started hurting more and more.
Mom, the angel she was and still is, is now at peace, without pain and no more suffering. Still with people she loves. My dad, her brother Robbert ,her daughterin-law Susan, her niece Thea, her nephews Christopher, Mark and Jesse. My kids Monique and Brandon. All leaving this earth too young. And not to forget her fur grandbabies Hersey. Reeses, Bo and little Tommy. She loved animals. Mama enjoy your reunion and now you can dance again without pain. I miss you so much and love you to the moon and back

Our chapter is progressing nicely in our efforts to establish a Space Rent Stabilization Ordinance for the city of La Habra. We will be providing the city council with the information necessary to consider putting this proposal to a vote. GSMOL along with our Reginal VP Mary Jo Baretich and Bruce Stanton GSMOL attorney, will be supporting us in this effort by guiding us in the proper legal language and necessary content that will prohibit any Mobile Home community owners in La Habra from placing exorbitant rent increases on their communities. With out this ordinance rent increases in any amount can be issued every 90 days. Once we have established that we will be requesting to develop Senior Park Overlay that will prohibit the changing of our community into an all-age community. The success of either of these goals would not be possible without the help and support of GSMOL.
Our GSMOL March meeting was very informative with guest speakers (five handsome firemen and paramedics) from our neighborhood fire department. With recent devastating fires in our neighboring communities there was much interest in what we could do to prevent the same thing from happening here. They were quick to assure us that the same outcome was unlikely here because we do not live in a wooded area. Additionally, we have an adequate water system here in La Habra. However they were also quick to caution that the close proximity of our homes makes it easier for fire to spread quickly in our community. Suggestions that we maintain our sites clear of overgrown foliage and avoid storage of boxes and other combustible items around and under our homes. Recommendations that you should always be prepared and ready for the removal of important papers, medications, and valuables in the event of any emergency. It was suggested also to have a paper with pertinent health information readily available and insight for emergency responders to see. There was a strong recommendation that we request that our managers provide us with an evacuation plan. It is concerning to me that our gates do not automatically open in the event of a power failure thus leaving us with only one gate to provide escape for over 250 households many of which have multiple residents and cars.

The first bite into the bunny tells all. A colleague recently posed a thoughtprovoking question: why are so many chocolate Easter bunnies hollow? Isn't it cruel to disappoint all those little kids, who will bite into what looks like a massive chunk of chocolate and be confronted with emptiness?
The experience inspires a host of sermons and metaphors about how life is full of disappointments, why you shouldn't judge by appearances, and so on. Chocolate bunnies can be, as this New York Times article puts it, "the child's first taste of deception."
Are candy makers conspiring to teach us a lesson?
Of course not. The answer is simple, according to one chocolate maker: hollow bunnies are easier to eat.
"If you had a larger-size bunny and it was solid chocolate, it would be like a brick; you’d be breaking teeth," says Mark Schlott, vicepresident of operations at R.M. Palmer in Reading, Pennsylvania, one of the first and largest manufacturers of hollow chocolate bunnies.
And, of course, hollow is usually cheaper to make, though Schlott phrases it more delicately: "Hollow has a greater perceived value. It creates a much greater chocolate footprint than solid."
"People are really going back to their roots." The tradition of chocolate Easter bunnies dates back to 19th-century America, which borrowed it and the Easter Bunny in general from Germany. Sales started to take off around 1890, after a Pennsylvania man named Robert L. Strohecker featured a 5-foottall chocolate rabbit in his drugstore as an Easter promotion. (Of course, that's got nothing on the record-setting chocolate rabbit sculptors just completed in a South African shopping mall.)
By the turn of the 20th century, newspapers noticed "the growing popularity in the States of the chocolate rabbit" among Easter confections, and by 1925, a catalog from the R.E. Rodda Candy Co. featured guitar-playing bunnies, suggesting that perhaps ordinary chocolate bunnies were old hat by then.
Hollow molds had entered the picture by 1939, when a newspaper advertisement mentions "hollow chocolate rabbits" sold for five cents each. The bunny business hit a snag in late 1942, when the War Production Board halted the manufacture of all such chocolate novelties, reasoning that cocoa rations should be saved for "staple civilian and military purposes, such as breakfast cocoa and candy bars." (Ah, yes, the staples of life.)
After World War II, chocolate Easter bunnies returned to the States as did a soldier named Richard Palmer, in search of an "interesting and novel" business, as Schlott tells it. Palmer founded his chocolate company in 1948, and was soon making a hollow Easter bunny named "Baby Binks" which, oddly enough, was inspired by a dog toy. "Apparently, his dog at the time had a little bunny rabbit toy, and he looked at the shape and thought, 'You know, that has kind of a whimsical personality; I could make a chocolate mold like that,'" Schlott says. "So he did, and it's still in our line today."
So if you find a hollow chocolate bunny in your basket this Easter, try not to feel disappointed (or scream in horror, if you're a sci-fi fan). If you really want something in the center, well...you could try the candy version of turducken. (Okay, now you can scream in horror.)

A farmer went to the attorney's office and said he wanted to get a divorce. The attorney asked if he had any grounds.
"Yeah, I got about 240 acres," the farmer said. The attorney replied, "But, I mean do you have a case?"
"No, I have a John Deere."
"Well, do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got a grudge. That's where I park my John Deere."
"No, I mean do you have a suit?"
"Yes, sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
Next, the exasperated lawyer asked, "Well, sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
"No, we both get up about 4:30."
The attorney finally asked, "OK, so why do you want a divorce?"
"Well," said the farmer, "I can't have a meaningful conversation with her!"
