Rats had made life impossible for people in Chicago until cats came to their rescue. Cats are now the most valued employees in some rat infested neighborhoods and factories. Bravo kitty cats!! I, as a cat lover, have never doubted your super powers.

Dear Vincent,
I wonder if you are celebrating your birthday in Heaven today! I hope so and I hope you are famous in Heaven. Unfortunately, on earth you were not appreciated the way you should have. Here you have achieved great fame. What a pity you are not alive to see how expensive your paintings go among millionaires and museums.
Cheers,
Armineh
Today is Easter Monday and I am filled with happiness because this holiday is about hope. The hope that life after death is a possibility. I should stress that I am a romantic believer. I don’t know if I make sense. I call my heaven, ‘Planet Heaven,’ an exact replica of earth, with all its different cultures and religions. I have written about my vision in “Looking For Georges Bizet on Planet Heaven.” Yes, what if after death we find ourselves on Planet Heaven, where we are able to travel around to different countries? What if we come across the same people whom we knew on Planet Earth? Wouldn’t it be fabulous to reunite with our lost loved ones? A Heaven where evildoers can be redeemed, simply by being taken to an organization called, ‘The Reform Center?
A lot of people ask me where I am from. I am American, originally Armenian and born in Iran. This makes me a mixed salad!!
The mix…
The salad bowl = Iran (my birth place)
The salad = Armenian (my origin)
The dressing = American (my citizenship)
So, the entire salad = me!
I would like to introduce you to my Armenian side. This attached video will give you a taste of some well known Armenian personalities which makes me so proud. A lot of these wonderful Armenian are Americans. Happy to share this wonderful video, which I found on YouTube.
I read somewhere that the trees planted on the city’s sidewalks should be replaced with fruit trees, so that the homeless have something to eat in the summer and fall. This suggestion reminded me of a chapter in my book, the Apple tree blossoms in the fall”. The story of the above mentioned chapter is about the life of my protagonist as a little girl, who after loosing her father at the age of 8, goes through a lot of hardship. Her family which is well to do before her father’s death suddenly looses everything. Their situation is so bad that she, her brother, and her mother have to survive on meager food. This is when the Apple Tree in their garden miraculously blossoms in the fall and produces a big load of small apples. The apples feed them for a while…
