There is also pictures of my niece Lupita or LuLu., she turned 1 on the 26th of this month, her bday., party is this Saturday. LuLu, is my 1st nephew Jimmy's baby girl!! Yes, I am a Great Aunt!! There are also pictures of my Dad and some of our kids. My Dad is the heavy set one with the plate on his lap!! I am a lot like him..., love to eat, especially bbq!! His wife is to his left, she has been really ill. The other group picture is my brother Paul and his family. The one with LuLu being held, that is her daddy, my nephew and his wife and there cousin. I can't believe that LuLu, and Jr, are both a year old. Where does the time go??????? But, I have to say, they are both to damned cute!!!!!!!! Toddlers got to love them!!!

Before during and soon done.

Chase and I smashing the grapes. The before and after vines. All my men smashing together.
Tyler, standing in the middle taken his turn, to get some juice out of the grapes!!

Chases feet really getting into it. Smash smash smash. Tyler taking a little break.

Tyler he is to sexy, to smash., he is a little full of himself!!

Tyler adding the yeast to the wine.

These are the yeast tablets. We had to go to Delgado's (?) however you spell it winery to buy the yeast. We tasted it and it is really great, last years of course. This years will be done next Thanksgiving, same as this year. So, every year at Thanksgiving with our meal, we will be having our wine from the year before. I think it is a great tradition. The boys really enjoy it.

Crush Time

Here are some of the grapes we used this year to make our wine. Last years batch will be ready to drink right about now. We are going to be bottling last years as soon as we get some more caps for our wine bottles. I will be sharing more photos.

It was really a lot of fun, crushing, the grapes to make the wine, with the whole family.

Sent the Men Out

Yeah, being lazy. I sent Steve and Tyler out to get us a BBQ tri-tip sandwiches. Yummy!! I hope I can eat it and not feel sick. Went for my gallbladder scan. I want know anything for a few days!! I don't know!! I do know the Pain meds, make my mouth dry as hell!! WATER PLEASE!!

Yep, 41 just around the corner!! Send Money please!!! LOL!! Oh, gift cards welcome also!! I am telling you I can't believe, another year, has already came and gone. Can't wait until the rain comes!! I love the first rain, it smells so fresh, and gets all that yuk, out of the air. I am ready to decorate for the Holidays! I can't wait to have a fire in our fireplace! And to wear my cute winter hats, and sweaters!! Oh, C., I am still talking to Stevie about relocating. Hey, isn't Natalies husband, kinda on the inside, of whats what in Boise? Have him check out the jobs for me!! OH, sorry Natalie, he is your husband!! LOL!! If he hears of anything for Managment, (Operations and Production, of pretty much any type of mechanical machinary. C anc C machines. Reading blueprints, making the specs for them. He is a Man of all trades. He can start a project from the very beginning and finish it, totally by himself. Give him any project, He can figure it out!!
I know a lot of things are slow right now. But if you do hear anything please pass it on!! I would so love to live closer to all of you! Especally my Sis C,. But while she is at work, the rest of the gals can go out and play.!! LOL! I wish I could get him there, to see the beauty. Although, it is a little far for me, as far as going to the ocean. How far do you have to go, to get to the ocean??? We can't even sale our house right now, and even get what we owe on it. SO screwed up. I say walk away!! If things don't turn around especially in Calif., were out. Outta money, outta a house, just outta! Screw the stress! Not worth it! That is probablly why Steve and I keep getting this stupid medical issues!! Stress, over bills, can definately make you physically ill! What is your newspaper called? I will start checking it on line.

Well, I don't think I am gonna get to come visit this year. I am so sad, about it!!! Maybe some money, will mysteriously appear!! My little fairy, will bring it to me, in my sleep. It is time for a new tattoo!! Oh, Natalie, your in this time!!

Well, I guess I should quit, chatting and get back to doing nothing! OH, my food is here, time to gain a little more ass!! LOL!!

Good Day!

You know everyday we wake up is a good day!! We have got to make the best of what we got!! Everything has been so blah and up in the air, I have forgotten to be grateful for all the things I have. My family, my friends and all the beauty that surrounds me everyday!! I need to slow down and remember all the people who fight for our country, the police officers putting their lives on the line day to day, the firefighters saving our homes, and all the people working in the medical field, so we can stay.....,healthy. Well, I just feel grateful today, I should remember to thank God everyday, for all I have. To all my friends and family, I am very grateful to have you in my life. I love and respect you all. I am sorry if I don't tell you that enough!!

Been A While

Well, I thought I would stop by and say Hello!! I have been really running crazy lately. Steve finally passed his kidney stone. Poor guy, he was in so much pain. Thank God he didn't have to have surgery. I did go to the attorney and I didn't make enough money in the certain quarters to draw any disability. Oh well, we will be OK, we always are, it will just be tight for a while. While Steve was in Modesto at one of his Doctor appointments, I ended up going to their Urgent Care, because of extreme stomach pain. I had recently had a colonoscopy. They didn't find anything. Thank God. But the stomach pain persist. I went back to my GI, and he thinks I have IBS., and I am lactose intolerent. Damn never realized how many things have lactate in them!! So, for four weeks I have to be lactose free to see how my stomach feels and have a CT scan, to check my Gallbladder. Wow, what a ride August was!! Hoping for a calmer September!! At least, my Bday is coming, hoping Steve and I can afford to at least go out to dinner. It would be great to get away, but, I really doubt that's gonna happen.

This past weekend I went to my great nephew's bday party, it was nice. I will be sharing pictures soon!

I hope everyone is doing well. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I will keep you posted on my stomach condition. Darcie and Kary I appreciate the thoughts and prayers...., right back at you!!!! And to all who read my blog!!

Oh yea, someone elses bday is this month....., Happy bday month Natalie!! Hopefully you read this or someone passes well wishes on to you!! And Corinna I miss the hell outta you sista. I really wish I could afford to come visit on my bday, all of us could celebrate together. Natalie and I could be the bday Queens!!!! LOL! Miss you all, WB ASAP!!
