Terry was anxious to go fishing so he heard about a fold up boat that was for sale. We bought it for just $300.00. We split the cost and the following weekend took our boat out to Ojo Caliente, thirteen miles Southwest of Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. I caught a good size trout and Terry caught most of the others. We also tried Eustace Lake, right outside the town of Zuni. No luck. When we would go ashore, the boat wasn't very stable and a couple of times Terry fell out. It was made of styrofoam, covered with heavy duty thick plastic.  It was after these mishaps that he decided to sell it.  On one occasion though, I was climbing out of the boat onto shore and had been trolling for several minutes. Once my feet hit the ground, a little trout practically jumped up and grabbedthe bagrabbed it, a small earthworm.    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 sa...

The following is a new video I put together of pics I received from my son regarding Wyatt, my new grandson. Hope you enjoy it. I'll be making another slide show of him soon but longer. Wyatt

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.

Lemuel Bahe Yazzie, my son's Steven and Matt's grandpa, died recently at 91. The first time I met him he was attending a Christian retreat at El Nathan Conference grounds with his wife Dorothy. I remember how he and Dorothy worked with their Navajo people and I watched their lives together with their large family. 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...

Since my marriage, Terry and I started working at a Mobile Home Community, Western Skies, in Gallup, NM. We got the job a week before Thanksgiving. Probably many of you thought I disappeard. Not so. I just have been very busy with over a hundred tenants, taking payments, recording water meter reads, etc... We have a lovely clubhouse, very large, with a kitchen and tables and chairs for birthdays, anniversaries...no alcohol allowed though. We seem to have many that want to rent it. It has been very cold here and this morning it was one degree above 0. Brrrrrh!!! Just cold enough to freeze our pipes and it took a long time before we could get hot water. Terry works on maintenance and we have another young man that helps us out, passing out the bills, doing errands, fixing things around the community. It is the nicest mobile home community in this area and we live and work here. Moving from Vanderwagen was a chore. It took me almost a month to get everything packed after Terry only arr...

Soon after meeting Terry, a year ago, he moved here from near San Antonio, Texas and we were married a fews days later. Now it has been five months since making our vows. He had found work with a couple of companies doing field service. He has been disappointed in the way the city does its business and found that just doing independent work from home can be costly. I was hired by the McKinley County Schools as a teacher's aide and began right along with the teacher I was assigned to, Mrs Crask-Stone. I found the work enjoyable but sometimes stressful because the kids were always disruptive and there were few days when they were ever quiet. I would take them to breakfast, lunch and escort them to the gym for their exercise. My husband and I were referred by friends from church for a position as managers of a mobile home community. We both discussed the situation of my low income I received at school and his irregular jobs with the field service. He wasn't very happy goi...

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. Make a Smilebox slideshow

As soon as Terry got here, we went to the County building to apply for our marriage license. It only took 10 minutes. We then went to the store to find table coverings for the reception and napkins. Pastor's daughter was making us a cake. I asked Terry what he thought about having some flowers, a bouquet for me and a boutineer for himself. We found a flower shop near the post office and the lady there agreed to make a bouquet for me in one day. Wednesday rolls around and we finally headed to the church. I lead worship and Pastor Gallegos and Bishop Hutchinson shared in the wedding service. I lasted over an hour and a half. It included a ceremonial foot washing along with his wife Lois and communion. When we do the reception at the end of August we'll just have the vows redone. I don't think we'll have the communion and Bishop won't be here either. Although the service was long, several people were shedding tears for us. I was happy and relieved that Terry had arrive...

On Saturday morning, I got a call from my fiance Terry. He said he had just passed several deer around 7:30 am. Around 10 am, he called again but this time he had bad news. While driving, a buzzard crossed his path and went forward, turned around and headed for his windshield. He ducked, thinking he'd get hit with glass which caused him to veer and fishtail the 16 foot trailer he was pulling. He smashed into the guardrail and then skidded for another two hundred feet. He landed at the other end of the guardrail with the passenger side all messed up and the right front tire gone. He didn't know what to do. He was beside himself. I told him to just be still and I would call my pastor and let him know what was happening. The towing company had to make two trips to pick up his truck and his trailer. He went to a motel to rest. After several hours, the pastor with an elder and I traveled 10 hours to where he was. We found him outside VanHorn, Texas, an hour and a half from El Paso. ...

After watching the Memorial yesterday, I felt compelled to put this montage together on Slide.com and hope you enjoy it.

June 15, 2009 For the past two weeks I’ve been working at a loan office. I find the work excessively repetitive, extremely rigid and oppressive. When I come in the morning to open up, I count the money, transfer some to a drawer, make calls throughout the day, print out several reports, have to contact another manager who lives hours from here. I come home, so tired I don’t feel like even eating. I am in the process of finding other work. This job I’m currently at is exhausting and I don’t have any time except lunch to get my bearings. I do get lunch but if I don’t perform like they want, then I may be out. They stress making friends with the customers and when I’m on the phone and someone comes in, I have to jump up and say their little saying, excusing myself with the person on the phone, then returning to finish my conversation. I think that is rude. Then there is the business. It is entirely greedy, wanting only to make money and not caring if people are taken advantage of. It is w...

5/21/2009 Friday, 5/15, my boss asked me into her office and then told me that I was being laid off. I was supposed to get my evaulation in February but that didn't happen. I thought she was busy and getting back in the swing after getting back from Hawaii.Well, she said she had to lay off another person at the office in Albuquerque too in spite of the fact that they hired two other people too. She was going to put the person that did the classes at the front desk. So, I packed up the little that I had there and transferred my pictures to my email address. I didn't want to lose them or other personal writings. I was very disappointed. When I asked her about the evaluation she said that was not going to happen. I left. Saturday, I picked up the weekend paper and found one position in there that I thought I could do. I called the number mentioned to have an interview. On the next day, Tuesday, I went for the interview and handed the young lady my resume and three referral letter...

5/7/09 to 5/11/09 Trip to San Antonio I left work on Wednesday and traveled to Phoenix. There I would take a flight out around noon the next day. I spent some time with my son Matt and wife Lesli that night. As soon as I entered his house, Lesli was wondering what to make for dinner. Matt was taking a nap after working hard on a 33,000 sq foot house, tapping and plastering. Lesli doesn’t cook and wanted to fix something for Matt. I suggested chicken tacos. She had all kinds of leftovers and together we had a great combination. Chicken, onions, pineapple chunks, chili powder, grill seasoning; a few cloves of garlic all cooked together then put on corn tortillas with cheese and lettuce. Wow, they tasted great. Lesli has to eat gluten free food and I told her to write the ingredients down for another time I slept at Steven’s house and got up and made it to the airport on time. Of course there was the other car that was impounded by Phoenix police cause Daniel had it parked in the wrong pl...

Make a Smilebox slideshow Matt has been laid off from work since January and needs to get a job. In the meantime he and Lesli have been doing artwork together. Please pray for him that he would be employed soon. He is getting unemployment and that helps but not like a regular job. I know how it hurts a man not to be able to work. The Bible says "if you don't work, you don't eat. His wife Lesli paints and he has been making some really interesting puppets. He also designed a new website slomoke.com. He will turn 36 on Sunday. Wow. Hard to believe that he is that old. He has one son Solomon and I am hoping they'll start a family soon.
