Here it is, July 3rd 2016.

It's been 19yrs since we lost Christina.  I continue to pray for her every time I'm at Mass.  

Wes's  Mom, Mary passed away Wednesday June 30th. She had been ill on and off.  Still it hurts to lose her. Trent has lost his Granny Mary.  Now Trent has only his Meema. I am going to try to behave myself and take better care of myself so that I'll be around for ALL of my grandkids events.  

Of news, Mike retired in Dec. and finally renovated our bathroom AND our laundry room!!! Yay!! He also made a pedestal for my front loading washer and dryer.  It's a Dream Come True after so so so many years!

We're getting along well not many clashes, LOL.  I've been talking and visiting lots with Roberta and it's wonderful.  Mary and I still doing our groceries every 2 weeks.  

Stacy calls me nearly everyday not much from Mix but it's been good the times we talked.
Both have new jobs.  Mix in dentistry and Stacy 2 in nuclear med.  

My sons, have a few times been acting like "boys".  Shame on them...

DJ is 16 and Beautiful and smart. Isaiah is a swimming champ and most handsome.  Xan is wonderful, doing sports and doing great in school. Trent is an All Around Athlete and also doing great in school.  JC is a chatterbox. I call her a lawyer cause of the gestures she makes when she talks.  Lola. Wow she's a real Cutie. Spoiled and cute, she has a beautiful smile. 

I now have come to look my grandma Duran. Short, fat and wearing my white hair in a bun.
cai la vie!!

I rely tremendously on my Guardian Angel.  I can't make it through my day without his help. I'd been on the floor daily.  He holds me up and lifts me up and keeps me from making some serious and some silly mistakes on a constant basis.  I Love my Guardian Angel, he's COOL!

Empty Nesting

Empty Nesting

I've been working on a quilt for our little JC.  Last weekend finished a quilt for our little Lola.  I enjoy quilting!

I've also been working on my painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.  Finish M's Copenhagen painting.

Was watching another quilter's work on you tube which somehow lead me here.  Can't believe it's been so long since I'd written.

All is good thanks to God.  Kids are good, got 2 new grand baby girls.  I'm quilting and painting with some baby sitting sometimes.
I'll be going to Denver soon to see my little T.

I'm tired so I guess it's time to rest for Mass in the morning.

September 30, 2012

Here I am 2 months later, my life is confused.

I decided to go see T, S W and M and a few days before then I was calmly & peacefully at home when K called.  The talk was fine at first until he began to talk politics again.  

He and I don't agree.  His voice elevated and I told him to stop yet he went on.  To the point of yelling at me.  To make things worse he accused me of some terrible things that I have never even thought of much less say to anyone!  I told him he was wrong.  He then said he would pray for me because I am so wrong by my beliefs.  He got even louder and more accusing SO I told him I couldn't believe what he was accusing me of and hung up the phone on him.

 He hurt me by what he said and he has yet to apologize for it but I beginning to think it's not going to happen.....

So I went on my trip, I'm gone for 12 days.  I return.  I am exhausted, I go get groceries so that I can visit with MM, then that night I AM wiped out!!!

TI calls asking for vet #s not saying why he needs them and speaking really rude to me.  So I figure, here it goes again!  Now it's the other one being disrespectful to me!!!

It turns out that his pet rabbit was choking and then it didn't make it.

Guess who is being blamed for his accident?   ME!    WOW!!!

So later TI sent me a text with bad words and the anger is now about why don't I want to go anywhere with him or do anything with him or visit his home.   WOW!!

He then sent a text telling me that from now on he's waiting to be invited to my home if I want him here.
 (Oh by the way, he also told me to go back where I had been)

So now I am at a loss as to why they both decided to hurt me.
I DID NOT INSTIGATE ANY OF THIS AND I MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LOSS OF TI'S PET!    
I forgot that TI also told off MG.  Now he's refusing to bring X to be here with us.  How cruel.............................

May God speak to these men and have them realize their errors.

IN JESUS' MOST HOLY NAME I PRAY, PLEASE HELP  LORD.

Hadn't been here in a very long while.  Lots has gone on.  I'm here because I commented on Mirabal's blog which brought me here.
I went back to my very first post and it was about my mom.  I am surprised at what I wrote.  I like it.  Maybe I'll implement it again into my life at this stage.  Only because it's summer.  I wouldn't get up early in the cold winter mornings.  heehee!  as Mirabal would laugh!
I'll get back here and report on whether I even did Some of my Mom's examples after all!  Ha Ha!

The Beautiful Mare...

Our Beautiful Sparkling Sweetie[Sparkle] left us on Friday August 6th 2010 at 8pm.

She hadn't been well for awhile, having trouble walking, couldn't see out of her left eye but every once in a while she'd trot around and even get into a gallop.

For months she'd been having trouble getting up after her naps, but managed to get herself up and kept on going. She never missed a meal! Bless her big heart. She was such a great mom to her colts and adopted colts and fillies after we stopped breeding her.

She was kept like a queen. We all loved her so much. I'll always remember how the girls used to braid her mane. After her baths she shined and glistened because of her beautiful white coat.

I'll be crying for her for a long time just as I have for Savannah. They, were good friends by the way. Now they're both enjoying life in God's Garden where all the good pets go in Heaven.

LENTEN SEASON 2010

I was thinking the other day that we are in the 2000's. My dad made it and surpassed the year 2000. Wow. I remembered how as a kid I thought it was really going to be major just getting to 1970.

I don't feel as old as I really am. I wonder how many other people feel younger, as I do. I see my grandchildren and they're so beautiful and handsome and wonderful. I look at my children, they're also all these things and can't believe they're as old as they are. Wow.

Here I am, at Lent 2010. I made all the traditional Lenten meals that my grandma and mom always prepared and of course I made my dad's favorite whole wheat pudding. Of course I missed serving all those dishes to him. He's proud that I'm still doing it, I'm sure.

I was this morning watching some videos of the grandkids and of course there was my sweet father, I stopped them so I wouldn't cry. Writing here now I'm in tears. It hurts so bad.

He's with me always, still guiding me by jarring my memories with his wisdom of staying in constant prayer for the family and friends. Teaching me to "be there" when I'm needed.

I am so grateful to my dad and mom that they gave me their Faith and their Church to help me live a good life and teach my family to do the same. To Know, Love and Serve the LORD daily.

I'm looking forward to Easter and my newest grandbaby's Baptism in April. But first, I'm looking forward to Saint Patty's Day! My 2nd most favorite day of the year next to Christmas!

PEACE TO EVERYONE!!! Joy
