Fishing at Ganado
Ganado Lake has catfish and bass. We had never seen so many bass and a place so easy to catch fish. One year we found a nice hole in the weeds where we caught several large catfish.

In Memory - Amy Little 6/23/2010
I made this not too long ago in memory and tribute to Amy Little, my former husband's mother who passed last year June 23, 2010. I had several pictures in my picture albums but non could really express the kind and thoughtful woman Amy was. I wanted her kids and grandkids to see this but so far I've only been able to post it on Facebook.

Havin' a Good Time
Havin' a Good Time
This video was made on Animoto...Recently, Wyatt, my grandson, has been taking swimming lessons and his dad sent me some pics. I love making videos. I have a cool Vivitar video camera that does really well making videos.
Terry will be in Texas the rest of the week and he has my camera. I hope he brings back some good pictures of the family.

Happy Birthday Wyatt
For my Grandson Wyatt. He will be One Years Old tomorrow. I can't make the birthday party but I know he'll have a big piece of cake and ice cream. He's such an adorable and lovable little boy with great parents that have been so good in raising him, teaching him, spending their time helping to see this beautiful world we live in.

TODAY
Terry has been working on our mobile home, the manager's home for a week now and has managed to paint the railings dark sherwood green. He was hoping to paint the house the same color as the clubhouse, a cream color. He's been really tired lately and his body is aching.
Found out that someone in my family has glaucoma and may have to have surgery. We will be praying for him that he would be healed and wouldn't need the surgery. He has been on my heart lately.
The holidays are coming and Terry said he didn't want to have another Christmas like last year. I don't mind going from house to house. He has only one son and his family would usually get together at one house. I have four sons and have to work around that. I may just go down after Christmas and spend a week there.
Terry and I never had our honeymoon and maybe we can take a week somewhere that we both can enjoy. Having the money is usually the problem. We are always just running out before pay day. Terry wants to find a job somewhere else. He doesn't like Gallup. I will have to follow him. I hope he doesn't moved too far from my sons. They mean a lot to me.
As for church, I'm still the worship leader and two people have left the team and the church. It may be the fault of one of the members. I'm still not sure. We are down to two besides myself. I play the keyboard/piano and pastor plays drums and one lady plays guitar but not that well.
I have to start some teachings on worship soon because the church is looking to me to stir them up. They need to spend more time with the Lord. I've been faithful these past six years now and have hardly taken a break. Wednesday and Sunday are the days I lead. I'm constantly finding new songs and the Lord has inspired me to write more songs.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR NOW
Last year, I made a book of our wedding day, July 22, 2009. Terry came here from Texas and doesn't really miss the heat. He's had to get used to the heat of complaining tenants, water leaks, painting jobs, maintenance of all types and now painting the house. I don't know why he doesn't like the mint green that's been there since we moved. He wants it to match the clubhouse. How conservative.
Anyway, I wanted to share the book again so that if you missed seeing it last year, you can see how simple it was. There was little cost involved and we bought only rings at a trading post and a bouquet of flowers for me to hold. We found inexpensive decorations and set up the tables and provided a simple to make punch.
Little did we know then that the reception to follow a month later would be more involved and slightly moin expense. I will be posting our reception book soon on blurb.

Trip to Santa Fe, NM
Recently, Terry and I made a trip to Santa Fe, NM during the Indian Market. Thousands thronged the streets in the heat to look, to buy and browse the many galleries and studios and stands on the street. It was estimated that over 50,000 people attended.

Fishing Near Zuni, NM
After selling the folding boat, Terry kept looking in the local classified listings and found an eight foot Bass Boat he'd been wanting for sale. After taking another trip to pick it up we immediately, of course on the weekend, headed for the closest lake, that being Nutria Lake, one of a series of three lakes. We didn't catch anything but had a good day on the lake. We went all over trolling from one end to the other. I took lots of pictures.
Before we took our latest fishing trip to Ojo Caliente, our truck's brakes went out. We were heading out of town and we heard some weird noises. We headed back and could easily have broken down out in the sticks. That set us back a while. We found a good mechanic close by here and I had to take all the funds that were in my checking account out to pay for the repairs.
Terry didn't want to fish at Nutria because of the grass and seaweed growing all over the lake. At Ojo we went early, which we usually do, and caught 19 fish and all were catfish except for one trout. We used earthworms and trout worms. Terry had shown me how to tie the hooks and make double hooks that work well with trout. You stretch the worm from one hook to the other. Usually, fish like to bite out the middle but sometimes a fish will get caught.
Terry really wants to go fly fishing. He enjoys that. Next weekend, we will be taking our used camper to Page, Arizona. We found an overhead camper for $200.00. The lady dropped the price from $300.00. He's working on it now, trying to fix the wiring and I'm going to make curtains this weekend and try to find a foam mattress somewhere. Our maintenance guy said he had a full size air mattress that we could use.
We will be celebrating our 1st Anniversary on the 22nd. Can't believe it has been a year already. Going to Lake Powell was my idea but I think Terry wants to see how the fishing is there too. We will stow our sleeping bags, ice chest and plenty of sun lotion for the trip. He didn't want us to stay in a motel and spend all that money and find a place to cook the fish we catch. I know it will be hot there and I'll have to take my fishing hat and long sleeve shirts and a bathing suit. So the money we would have spent on a motel went into the camper.

SUMMIT TRAINING POST
Bishop Hutchinson and Pastor Lois started a place where Navajos could get ministerial training and training in areas like job readiness, trades in jewelry making, rug making and sharing the Gospel during the summertime at Camp Native America.
Camp Native America is a family camp usually held in June or July or both and invite the entire family to experience a Christian camp at St Michaels. Dads, moms and kids can set up tents and have free meals. At night a service is held with a special speaker. Many groups from Canada, Florida, Virginia and New Jersey came to help as interns, teachers and helpers.

My sons' Grandpa Lemuel
I was only married into the family for five years but I have always been treated like a daughter and sister to this date. They asked if I would play at his funeral and I agreed. I also played at Dorothy's funeral near Laguna, NM at the Acoma Baptist Mission, near Budville, NM.
Years before he had been a Navajo Code Talker in the Marine Corp. There aren't many Code Talkers left. He had been a fighter or boxer for several years and had won most of his matches. There was one man, at the funeral, who mentioned his fighting abilities and techniques and brought some to laughter.
When he and Dorothy first started their church at Tse Bi Otseel Bible church, they lived in a small trailer. Most of the kids had gone on to college or careers and had gotten married. Only Grace and Walter were still living with them at the time. Both were hard workers and Dorothy was always teaching the children using flannelgraphs and using simple songs to teach the story of Jesus.
I learned a great deal from her. She loved the children and her own children also followed her example as they later raised their own kids. I discovered many ways to teach children God's way of living.
Lemuel also spent time as the Chapter President at White Cone but his devotion to the Lord was of primary importance. For several years he taught and preached to his people and the church grew. Another man later took over the ministry when he no longer could do the work because of his age and his health.
His children were committed to helping him and taking care of him when he was ill and later died. His family is close knit and his grandchildren and great grandchildren adored their grandpa and they spoke gratefully and tearfully about him and what he meant to them.
There are other websites where he is mentioned, not only for his service to the Lord but to his country that he loved.

I know his children and grandchildren have so many funny and happy memories that will continually remind them that they had a good leader in the family. He was blessed to have so many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I was blessed to know him.

Our Reception
The following slide was assembled today with the pictures from the reception Terry and I had in Vanderwagen. My son Matt and wife Lesli stayed with us a week before the ceremoney. My pastor and wife were willing to do it all over again since we were actually married July 22, 2009.
After a terrible accident and a month resting and recuperating, Terry was able to cook 60 pounds of meat, including chicken, port and beef brisket. It was wonderful. The church helped bring side dishes and breads and also cleaned up afterwards. What a treat to have them there serving. They all have servant's hearts.
