Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch & washes all the dirt off of you. He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed on to me.

I loved you the minute I heard your heartbeat

I posted this on my FB page and now I am putting it on my blog.


I loved you the minute I heard your heartbeat. I Loved you the minute you were born. Then I saw your face and fell in love some more. You were only a minute old but I knew I would die for you, and to this day I still would. When you choose to have a child you make a decision to.. allow your heart to walk around outside of your body. Put this on your status if you have a child or children you love more than life

The Time Is Now

I was reading the newspaper this morning and I went to the Dear Abby section and this is what I found, I liked it, so I thought I would put it on my blog for safe keeping to remind me of "The Time Is Now" by Author Unknown

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow.
Love me now
While I am living.
Do not wait until I'm gone
And them have it chiseled in marble,
Sweet words on Ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me,
Please tell me now.
If you wait until I am sleeping,
Never to awaken,
There will be death between us
And I won't hear you then.
So, if you love me, even a little bit,
Let me know it while I am living
So I can treasure it.

Think PInk

Tonight was the Carson Tahoe Hospital kick off for Cancer Awareness month, they hosted a function at Reds BBq resturant and there were so many of us in our pink tees, they had goodies to eat, drink, raffles, freebies, but the trick was you have to wear "PINK", of course my husband said he would go with us, (Marina, Marina Jr, myself and Del) three of us wore pink. It was a fun evening and great company. This is something that they do every year so I think this will become a tradition for us. All the resturants staff wore think pink too. We also had our dinner there too, wow, yum yumy ribs.

Family and Friends

Sometimes, what we care about most goes away never to return. While we have it...it's best we love it...and care for it...and fix it when it's broken...and heal it when it's sick. There are just some people that make life important...Good friends and family are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.


I read this on a friends post and I thought it said it all so I wanted to keep it close so every once in awhile I could look back on this and re read it when I need it in my life, to remember.

Fun day at the Candy Dance Days

We went to the Candy Dance Days in Genoa and it has been several years since the last time I went. Del, Maura, Marina and myself all went and had a wonderful day spending it together. I found little girl dresses just like the way Nana used to make for my girls when they were little, all frilly and fufu like, we got two of them, one for VE and one for JadaLynn. They are sooooooooooooo cute, a older Mexican lady made all the dresses and I fell in love with them. One of the dresses has a pinafore over a pink dress and the other one was pinky/peachy color with lacy edges and just frilly with under petticoats. Love them....That event has grown so much they had over 300 venders, anything you could think of, it was there, food, yum, candy, music, oh my gosh, it took us 45 min to go 1/2 mile down the road just so we could park but it was worth the time it took us. Also this weekend they had what is called weekend vivations, they expected approx 30,000 motorcyles in town and believe me they were here and to the joy of Hwy Patrol, local police, they had a field day handing out speeding tickets, I bet they made their year operating monies, hahahah...it was something to see.

It is so much fun to be able to spend time with my girls, going out, shopping, doing lunches, going to movies, love the time I get with them.

5 Months ago we moved back to Northern Nevada and I have not regretted a day of the move, it was an adjustment moving with my one daughter and her husband but we have done great and I think it is a good move for us, love the company, we have gone and we have done more here in the 5 months than the whole 4 years in Alaska. Don't get me wrong, I love Alaska but it did not like us very well. Our health has improved vastly. I do miss my daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter we had to leave behind in Alaska but that is where they belong and where they are doing do great.

Love living life.
