What I saw on my walk today.

Going to the Drive-In with Huell Howser

Huell Howser was the Eminent Explorer of California.  He discovered and unveiled to us the majesty of California’s Gold - those places where we could see God’s beauty in nature, where we could visit and be transported to historical people and events.  All of his discoveries were presented to his audience with a delightful boyish-like enthusiasm that was absolutely authentic.  I know because I met him. A few years ago, my family and I piled into our RV and headed out to the http://www.missiontiki.com/#/now/ where Huell Howser was hosting an Elvis Presley movie night on the big outdoor screen.  My daughter in-law had brought a delectable homemade dessert for us to share.  Since the dessert was of monumental size, there was some leftover.  So, she, my daughter and I walked over to the snack shack where Mr. Howser was greeting guests. We arrived at just the right moment - he was by himself!  My daughter-in-law offered him a piece of dessert.  Without hesitation and with his sparkling smile and folksy manner, this ex-Marine reached out with his uber buff biceps (have you noticed them as he speaks to his guests on tv?!!), took the plate of dessert and without hesitation or any questions, gobbled it up!  He thanked us and, in turn, we thanked him for hosting the event. As we walked off, we couldn’t help but giggle at what had taken place. Oh, my gosh, Huell Howser! I will miss you!  Be at peace.
