You keep your past by having sisters.  As you get older, they’re the only ones who don’t get bored if you talk about your memories.  ~Deborah Moggach.
The past two weekends I was able to spend some good, quality time with my family…especially my mom and sisters.  Laughing, and just reminiscing about past memories.  Sure, we’ve [...]

On July 7, 2010, this world lost a very special person, our friend, and a member of our family – Vonnie Flores. Vonnie was such a ray of sunshine. Wherever she went, whatever she did, she always lit up a room. She loved everyone and everyone just loved her. It’s like there was no generation gap for the people she associated herself with – from the small infants and kids she took care of and worked with at the schools, to the elderly… She always opened her heart up to everyone.

A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He’s someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He’s proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad’s love plays a part.
There’s always [...]

You are the one person
Who shares my
Deepest thoughts
And loves me in spite
Of them…

As my friend, you counsel me when my heart is broken, and you stand by me when I’m mistreated.  You rally behind me in my good decisions and are there to help me through the consequences of the bad ones.  Whom else can [...]

This past weekend was yet another time cherished with family and friends.  Saturday was my birthday, and I was lucky enough to have my family come up from Pueblo to spend “my day” with me.
We went out and did what I LOVE to do – we went out dancing…we had so much fun!  Chocolate cake [...]

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you [...]
