FOOD, MOVIES, AND MEMORIES
In a lot of ways this month December is filled with memories of both my dad and mom. I find myself at the grocery store looking in the freezer case for dad's favorite tamales. I spot them and remember...he's not there to buy them for. This year was a little different. This time when I found the...

WHICH ONE IS MOM?
I was looking at this picture of my mom and her friend, Lulu, walking down the street. I think I posted it once before cause it's such a neat picture with them both smiling they look so happy.

Ice Cream for Mom
I was just thinking, "I'll have a dish of ice cream at ten o'clock and eat it while I watch the news." Then in the back of my mind I heard my mom ask, "Is it ten o'clock yet?" <> She loved ice cream. I'll have a scoop for you mom! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I love you! Does this link work?...

ONLY IN NEW MEXICO!
Dad and mom would have laughed and nodded their heads at most of these! You know you're from New Mexico when: You don't think it's weird that everybody stares at you when you walk into the Frontier. You snicker whenever someone from out of state tries to pronounce your last name. You've had a school...

The ' L I T T L E ' Things
I got this in an e-mail. It reminded me of the way both dad and mom looked at life. Me too! So I am posting it here. I think they would like it. The ' L I T T L E ' Things As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that day. Another fellow was alive...

LAUGH ME A HALO
I was thinking about my dad last night as I watched Jay Leno. Dad used to call him Jaw Lean-Oh! So every time I watch the "Tonight Show" and hear them introduce Jay Leno, it makes me smile. Then late last night I was watching an A&E biography of Gene Tierney. When I saw a silhouette picture of one...

MOM: THE BEST EVER!
I was driving down the street that passes by my Jr. High School. It's called a Middle school now. Even the sports' teams have changed names. They used to be the "Madison Mohawks," now they are the "Magic." Nothing really unusual about that. I find myself driving down this street at least once a...

No it wasn't a long lost boy friend it was...my dad. I just got a glimpse of him rounding the corner in...

How Fathers Were Created
If this isn't the way it happened it is the way it should have: When the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A female angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that? If you're going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high? He won't be...
