Xavier the exotic X-ray fish yodels for Yonnie the yawning, yellowtail, while
Zuzu the zealous zebu zanily zips on her zeppelin.
THE PERSONAL STORY:
Zuzu is Lauren’s dog’s name . . . who recently passed away. Lauren’s wedding week in Hawaii both went snorkeling and the butterfly fish were abundant !! The zeppelin is an even a bigger favorite doodle in mo’s school notebooks. This one is done in the same style as those doodles. Using a zeppelin has more meaning because there are 2 large blimp hangers in Orange County. Which mo rode by on training rides when Lauren was very little. One of her riding partners was a marine who worked in the hangers. Lauren’s dad ran through them during one of Orange County’s road races ! And yes mo like’s the group Led Zepplin and still owns their album and she means album . . . explain that one !!! (smile)
