Southern California and the Jimenez blood

Aunt Nene is 70 years old and as strong as a lion. And from what i can tell so is her faith. She's Catholic and attends the 8am mass everyday and leads the rosary prayer group every Wednesday and Saturday. That's what you might call the Jimenez blood.

I arrived here in Oxnard California last night via a state of the art navigational system in the form of Amy Barrington, and got a chance to meet my mother's cousin Aunt Nene and her family who i will be staying with till friday. She and I had some good talks so far on her family and some of my grandparents, namely a a stalwart, Spanish educated matriarch who ruled her famiy with an iron fist- Leontia Arebello Bruno. Get out of the way of the Lolas! No more honking those horns outside to pick up your date!
