Back in The Bay Area

We went to the Bay Area to honor the Ching Ming Holiday last weekend. Ching Ming is also known as Grave-Sweeping Day, observed on and around April 5. The date is indicated on the Chinese calendar with the two characters: ching, meaning pure or clean, and ming, meaning brightness. Combined together, Ching Ming means clean and just. Every year, Keith's family returns back to Oakland to honor his fathers' gravesite. It's a chance for everyone to remember him and to thank him.




We were also able to spend some time with family and friends. It was a quick 4 day trip, however we crunched in as many visits as we could while keeping our sanity!


My parents were spending their last few days in San Leandro before heading back to good ole' Burns, Oregon. Mackenzie and Mason were so happy to see them!

I was also able to spend some quality time with my god-daughter Jazmyne and Jadon. Jazmyne isn't quite as tall as me...yet! She also gave me a tutorial on my new phone. Thanks Jaz! I love you and Jadon and miss you terribly already!


We were so excited to meet Tony's little sister Rachel! She had so much fun playing with all the kids. We are so happy about the new addition to Ike, Dena, Tony, and Blue's family. Congratulations and much love Aboubzou-Tom Family!

Even the Yee Family from So. Cal was in the Bay! Here is Brandon and Jaz checking out all the pics from the evening.


Keith LOVES giving all the kids squeezy hugs! It looks like Tony is enjoying it! We were disappointed that we weren't able to see more of our friends during our short trip, however we are hoping to make it back to the Bay soon. If not, everyone is always welcome to visit us in Vegas!!! Come on down!

Thank you for writing such an excellent article. If there are actual dead pixels, a replacement screen or LCD panel may be required; however, image persistence is frequently fixable by turning the device off for a short period of time or using an app that cycles through primary colors to "reset" the display. There are various ways to fix monitor Screen Burn-In Issue.
