The Not So Law Abiding Tenants

There are many people living in this mobile home community that love living here. Then there are those who consistently want to fan our fires. We had an incident, ongoing, that hasn't been resolved yet. One of the tenants bought a house here and moved here from outside of the area. She signed all the documents to rent the space but I guess she just overlooked a policy that says, "No pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinchers or Chow". We received many calls of mothers fearing for their children's lives. So, we talked with the tenant about her dog. She insisted that it wasn't a pit bull and that she had it since it was a puppy. My husband proceeded to look online and found several names for pit bulls, one being Stratfordshire Terrier which in England is the name for a pit bull. She keeps insisting that it isn't. My husband is so tired of people not wanting to follow the rules and policies of the park. We've tried to upgrade the playground but older teens...

Happy Easter

If you click on Happy Easter, it will bring up a slide show with music for the season. This was a presentation I made on Smilebox for last Easter. Some of you may know Easter itself with all the bunny rabbits, eggs, candy...etc is a pagen celebration. I celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and this slide show shows pictures along with words from Don Francisco's song "He's Alive" to show the Lord during Passion week.

The Round Brush from Hell

Saturday, I was trying to spruce up my hairstyle. I had visited the beauty parlor, had some hair cut and then colored. Well, at home my husband had a rounded brush/comb and I tried a small portion of my hair, wetting it first and then blow drying it. But...I couldn't get my hair out of the brush.Panic set in. I tried spraying with water, putting conditioners on it. No luck. I got so frustrated that I started crying. Then I called my pastor's wife Pee Wee. She said they would be praying and would send someone over. I stood at the door with my hand holding the brush and tears running down my cheeks. I was flushed and angry that I tried to fix my hair. My friend showed up and had a can of spray used to detangle. It had an oily base. I sat on the chair while she tried loosening my hair with a pick. After about twenty minutes or so she managed to get me free from the brush from hell. I was so glad she came and never appreciated her like that day. I never experienced anything q...

Christmas in New Mexico

Image
It was the first time the kids came to New Mexico for Christmas and only one son didn't make it. I have traveled to Phoenix each year but Terry wanted us to have the kids here for Christmas. There were nine of us enjoying the cool weather and just spending time with each other. I wished my husband Terry would have been able to see his family in Texas but maybe next year. Terry made brisket for our Christmas dinner and we also had sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and a vegetable and of course dessert. Eileen had never been to our home and could see where we live and work. It had snowed a little and that was just enough to take our grandson out to play. Terry rigged up a sled with a plastic lid and ropes which they pulled behind the fence where just enough snow could give the little guy a ride. Daniel had been able to come up on a bus and got a ride back to Phoenix with his brother. I am happy he's doing so much better and finally is working at a 40 hour a week job. ...

Fishing at Ganado

Image
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. Free photo slideshow created with Smilebox

Six Years Ago

Image
Over six years ago, after seeing my husband's picture in the paper when he passed, I felt the need to have a nice photo taken so my kids would use it when I pass. I haven't had a portrait picture done since the kids were little. Now they're grown and are starting their own family portraits. Now that Terry and I are married, I would like to get a portrait done of us. We've been married now over two years. He may not think it's important but I do and I want my kids to have a picture of us and not some candid shot. Photos have been important in our family. It's like doing a story and having pictures to go with it. I have over 17 albums now and still counting. I'm a little behind in getting the photos developed. Everyone I talk to seem more interested in keeping photos on their computers. But there's nothing like having them in front of you and seeing little details written down. I have an album that my dad received from his cousin and I don't reco...

Summertime with Wyatt

Image
Well, Wyatt is now a year and 4 months and I can't be down in Phoenix to watch him grow. The funny thing about him was his hair. His hair was growing like it had steroids and instead of all over his head it grew just on top. I thought he looked cool though. His dad recently had his hair cut and he said the razor tickled. Wyatt has such a sweet temperament and his parents have been so good raising him with their gentle touch and loving ways. He's also very photogenic. I told my son that he should enter him in some baby photo contest. Wyatt loves to eat and when he had his birthday he got to taste sweet cake, I think, for the first time. Anyway, he has such a great personality. Just looking at all the pictures I receive from my son and his mother-in-law I can tell he has a good nature. I should be visiting him this coming August and hope to spend some time there. It's really difficult being so far away from him and his family. All my sons are in Phoenix. With my husba...

In Memory - Amy Little 6/23/2010

Image
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. Customize your own free digital scrapbooking design

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.
