Breast Cancer took Helen...

Team Simi is participating in the ‘05 San Diego Susan G. Komen 3Day Breast Cancer Walk, as noted in previous postings. Helen Mitchell is one of the persons for whom Team Simi is dedicating their efforts.

Helen is one of those rare persons who gives selflessly of herself for the betterment of mankind. That’s why she is a beloved Volunteer for the Simi Valley Police Department. Unfortunately, breast cancer took Helen last Friday and deprived the world of a truly compassionate person. She will be missed, but her memory will be with Team Simi as they trek the San Diego hills come October. And, her memory will endure within all those people who were touched by Helen.

At the Cajun Festival there were a good number of vendors presenting their wares. Check out Strong Spirit Aromas. The proprietor has an excellent background in aroma therapy stemming from her professional work as both a massage therapist and an esthetician. Her products smell great. You can visit her web site here.

The annual Memorial Day weekend Simi Valley Cajun Festival had plenty of Cajun food, music, dance and spirits. The temperature was perfect. Gotta love that Southern California weather.

Best Breakfast in town...

And pretty good lunches, as well. Try the Egg House located at 1470 E. Los Angeles Ave., Simi Valley, 805-526-3305. Rick and Monica Daniells are your hosts and they have produced a splendid fare at moderate prices. Their mottos is, "We Have Heuvas!" Enough said.
