Anthony's wedding




This is Nathan's "cousin" Anthony and new wife Kira. Nathan was the best man for the wedding. I'll post a pic of him making a toast at the reception.
Good grief! I have no idea how the writing for the last pictures got in that order? I guess I'm just clever?

School girls


Well, I don't think this is what we looked like in second grade? I guess we should ask Sister Gualdalupe???

Grammy and Poppy's two




These are the latest of Marco and Luciana from our trip to their home in Hesperia 2 weeks ago. It's funny, I told Kerri that raising kids is for young folks. (This is after watching Marco and Luci for a while). Kerri said, "Mom, you tell me that every time you come down here"!
I love being their Grammy. I think they kind of like me, too.

What do you think?


Well, I'm looking for a new hairdo. Last haircut ended up like the way Goldie Hawn used to wear hers, sort of poofy on top down to the ears, then straightis. I didn't realize that's what Elaine was doing while she talked 60 mi/hr. Was I surprised when she was finished. ugh!!!

So, I've been looking for something that doesn't look too difficult to do. I'm sort of a wash and wear girl. What do you think of this one? I really don't want to go this short, but I think I have to because of the last cut.


I really work with a great bunch of people. These nurses are gathering for report time. That's when we get to talk bad about our patients...just kidding. But, we do pass on personal info about the patient for patient care.

Nursing has been a good profession for me, but my body is tired, it's very stressful and I'm worn out.

About Me

United States
At the present, I would describe myself first, as a child of God and follow with wife, mother, grandmother, friend, nurse and invisible woman. If you are female age 50 or above, most likely you understand my invisibility. I've always understood my mortality, it's the loss of youthfulness I grieve. I was born in NV and raised in CA (a latch-key kid). I presently reside in central OR, a lovely place to live, but leaves me lonely for my dear friends & too far from my family. I know the love of a good man. I'm the mother of 3 wonderful adult children & Grammy to two (my "adorables"), and "Nana" to a "bonus" of 5. Nursing has been my profession for 25 yrs. I believe that politics is corrupt & that we we're living in serious times. There you have it, the sum of my 56 yrs with hopes that I've made some kind of difference on this earth for the Master.
