FRIDAY DON LUPE FUN FACTS

Our Gramps was born in 1919 and our grams in 1920. This marked the end of the Mexican Revolution. At this time the revolutionary groups that rose among the poor overturned Porfirio Diaz. During Diaz’s years in office Tepetongo was torn apart by fighting and roaming bands of soldiers who would ride into town by surprise. Both the federales and the revolutionaries would end up doing the same thing; take food, supplies, horses, money and kidnapped women. The pretty women were at greater risk of being kidnapped and our Mama Tila was a beautiful widow at the time and for fear of being napped she remarried. In 1920 Grams was born. Go forward about 20 years to 1942-43. This is the period during World War II when the Mexican government made an arrangement with the U.S. government to bring in Mexican agricultural workers to U.S. growers. This was called the Bracero Program that worked as a guest worker program that went on from 1942-1664. This program sponsored 4.5 million Mexican workers. AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO THE GONZALEZ FAMILIA? This happens to be one of the primary reasons why we are not living in Tepetongo and working in the fields. Our Gramps was one of those 4.5 million workers that were part of the Bracero Program (I think Julio was also part of it too). The end of the Bracero Program marked the beginning of Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers. During our Gramps’ work for the BP he worked in San Francisco (some where around Dickson, CA) and then in the desert picking dates off of trees. After his long career in the farms he landed a gig in a car wash in Pomona, CA. In 1963 he returned to Tepetongo for his mother’s death. Upon his return to L.A. he worked in a cafeteria for Farmers Insurance and from there, his most famous gig, the Hilton. So I would like to take this time to give a moment to Gramps’ hard work and determination for allowing a brand new generation of Gonzalez to live in a land of great opportunities. Thanks Gramps!

BREAKING NEWS: Lugo Family Member In the Hospital

This just in fresh off the press. Lola is in the hospital. According to sources she was experiencing some pain in one of her breast as it has been hurting for quite some time now. She is in stable condition. As I am typing we are getting ready for a Candy Stripe visit to her room. As more news unfolds I will update the blog. Changitos for her. Please do not be alarmed as we are sure she will come out of this one...c'mon she's a Lugo for God's Sake. She can beat anything. She's made out of steal. 

Adeedodoo loves Lola.

P.S. I guess the "hamon" dinner might be out of the question. 

Just Checking In

Since no one posts blogs on our site I figured I should fill in the empty spaces with my junk. I don't have anything to say but I will try my best to be exciting. For those of you whom doubted my success in life I wanted to announce that I will be graduating in May with my Masters from USC. Incredible? Yes. Unrealistic? No. I did it with little to no sweat but I did have to give up my life (entirely) to do this. We in the Valdez-Gonzalez family do it big. Cathy is also stepping it up by applying at the Police Department. It's been a while; she was waiting on her background check but its been so long that I think they found some criminal history on her... Hortenc is applying for citizenship while I'm applying for a real job out in the real world. Kenny is loosing weight as he is doing his daily exercises and Milo is eating better; we serve him heftier portions of his kibbles and bits mixed with real chicken. In other news, I have not washed my car in months. It is collecting bird shit and spring leaves from various parking spots. Our yard is full of dog crap because we're too lazy to pick it up. I hear its good for the grass, the only thing is we don't have grass in our backyard. During the summer, if I leave my window open, the summer heat brings in the smell of caca into my room. Very exciting. This Sunday is Easter. That's the day that we are all forced to attend church, giving us a free pass to miss the next 52 sundays. I guess Lola is having "hamon" for dinner and we are all invited. Okay, well it was very nice to hear from me...right?

AMBER ALERT: ABUELITA MISSING

This morning I was confronted by the sad truth with the case of the missing g-mom. Just last night I was thinking that I should take the grams out for breakfast to have that lumpy oatmeal at Corner Baker that she liked so much. I am on spring break this week so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do breakfast with her. As I greeted the morning sun today I was told the shocking news of the missing g-mom! Apparently due to various factors (all include the gramps and the older sibling) our beloved grandmother was brainwashed to go back home. According to sources, she was rushed to Target for some last minute shopping late last night and then flown out to Tepetongo. There were various attempts on behalf of the ya-ya sisterhood to a stop such catastrophe but with no success. The end result? 1 rushed grandmother, 4 angry sisters and a grandchild left hanging. Well we wish our grams the best as I'm sure she is happy to be home (some pun intended in that last sentence).
