Boys and their TOYS and their Bruises

My son went to Pismo Beach camping with friends and ATVing.  He seemed to have had an accident and came home bruised, scabbed up and – as the Emergency room told us after numerous Xrays – one sprained ankle.

BOYS!

He’s still good looking and is now bragging about the 20′ drop of doom.

Going To Japan

I’m not going to Japan, but my mother-in-law is.  She’s originally from Japan and since her hubby past away last October, her next step in her life is to go back home.  We had a family get together to say our goodbyes.  Very difficult.  My poor hubby is feeling like he lost his dad

Class Ring

"Lost Love is Still Love. It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor.

But when those senses weaken, another heightens.

Memory.

Driver’s Test – Me?!

Quick update – lost lisence in June 2007 due to a "seizure"… it’s been about 7 months of not driving. 

I had a phone call today, with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.  Firstly, let me just say, it was a good call.  

His name was "Paul" and he taped our telephone

Forgiveness and a Bit of Sharing

Forgiveness means a great deal to me.  Something I’ve come to terms with in the last year (yes, it’s taken me that long in my life). 

In my life I’ve had many dealings with people that seemed to be mean to me for no reason.  Then, as I grew older from an

My dearest husband took off for a day to Utah for a reunion of our training group. It’s funny, ’cause I’m so happy for him to get out and get away for a bit of time to himself. He’s had such a rough time as of late… what with things here

Impact Trainings – Teen Summit

Stephen’s back from his 2nd training at Impact Trainings in Utah.  He came home energized and really excited about what he learned and the group he left.  From what he said it was a sad goodbye because they all got so close in the trainings. 

He was one of 9 kids that got

So, I’m lounging and working

Hectic Life

Home… well, that’s a tough one.  I am not here much

Car Troubles, or the people that drive them.

So today I was at the bank depositing for my client.  In front of me is a not so happy young lady.  She leaves and I do my teller business.

As I proceed to walk out the door I notice she’s backing up WAY too fast, and happens to be directly behind my van.
