AAA Im ports 407-884-0078 July 2010 Page 1 AAA Imports' monthly publication for the premier dish garden, lucky bamboo & bonsai grower Volume 10, Issue 07 - July 2010 Trip to San Diego I visited San Diego in late May for a business trip and it was my fi rst time there. The city is well known for its warm hospitality, near-perfect weather, breathtaking beauty, and funfi lled outdoor recreational activities. San Diego has a collection of worldclass attractions including the San Diego Zoo, Legoland California, USS Midway Museum, and Seaworld. For this trip, unfortunately, I didn't have time to visit any of those attractions. Since I only had a few hours before the next flight, I decided to take a two hour Harbor cruise. The sunny weather was soothing and the view was stunning. The harbor was fi lled with numerous warships; I've never seen so many in my life! San Diego is the largest base for manufacturing ships and warships in the U.S. The time was short but next time I visit, I already have some idea on what attractions I am going to see. Bob

AAA Im ports 407-884-0078 July 2010 Page 10 Fire works Safety 1. Water lawn at dusk if you have neighbors that set off the big fire works. 2. Clean out your gutters 3. Never let young children play with fire works 4. If you have pets make sure they are inside before you set the fire works off. Some animals may become spooked or run from the loud noise. 5. Always purchase fire works from a reliable source 6. Follow label directions carefully. And other words read the directions and guys this means yes you have to read. 7. Never point or throw fire works at another person. Never attempt a bottle rocket wars. 8. Always use fire works in a clear area away from trees, buildings and vehicles and never set them off in your garage. In Fl we like to set them off on our boats. 9. Never carry fireworks in your pocket or shoot them in metal or glass containers in other words plastic jugs. LOL 10. Only light them one at a time then move back quickly 11. Keep children and pets away from the fire works while lighting them. 12. Never use fire works as an alternative weapon to get rid of unwanted critters. LOL Are you paying attention yet? 13. Never experiment with home made fireworks because something could go wrong. 14. Someone in the group must have a cell phone that works incase there is an emergency and always have a camcorder ready to catch those funny moments when your grilling, drinking and setting off fire works. Most of all have fun Tammy and Debbie 4th of July Birdhouse Our red, white and blue ceramic birdhouse would be a hit for that special BBQ! You could plant it up with fl owers as we did or drop a plant in it. Here is a really cool idea, to use it for your napkins and or plastic wear. You could place your salt and pepper shakers in it along with some other condiments. The ideas are endless so come on in and have this sitting at your next get together! Kim
AAA Im ports 407-884-0078 July 2010 Page 11 Juniper Bonsai We have 5 Juniper Bonsai in the DecoGallery Store! Here are some basic instructions for the care of your Bonsai plant: Bonsai are usually grown outdoors, and brought inside for display. You may put your bonsai inside, as long as the tree receives 2 hours of direct sunlight every day. Water your bonsai every 2-3 days, setting the pot in water rim deep for ½ to 1 hour. You may use a fertilizer such as Miracle Grow in a weak solution about every 6 weeks. In the spring, buds will begin forming on the branch tips. If these buds are trimmed, fast-growing limbs will develop. You may prune these limbs according to your own personal expression, creating your own work of art. Jenny
