My Handsome Boys...Totally lovable!!!!

Geat photo after our Thanksgiving feast. Roger loves his boys and so do I...They turned out alright and I love each and everyone of them, including Michael our autistic son, who is not present for this photo but is still so very special.

So Far so GOOD.....For all my family and friends

I had my Colonoscopy on Dec. 22. He clipped off a few small polyps..I think that is normal he also went down through my mouth to the stomach area. I have a few little old ulcers which could have erupted and may be causing the Anemia. We won't know until he sends his report to my regular doctor. However, I'm thinking and hoping that is just something that I can correct with Iron pills and Vitamin B12 pills. We will see soon.

Meanwhile, I feel not too bad at all and I am glad that proceedure is over. Good things happening in the new year hopefully for me and all of us. Love to all....

Please Pray for Me......

I have been diagnosed with Iron Deficency Anemia. I will be having a Colonoscomy on Dec. 22. I hope that you will all pray for me that day. I hope they can find out the problem and fix it. This took me by surprize because my diabetic doctor told me I was doing very well with my diabetic situation. I feel almost fine although I am somewhat concerned. I would love you to pray for me along with many others who already are. I need all the help I can get. Love to all...Mom, Wife, and friend....

A Happy Thanksgiving with my Family

My family was here for Thanksgiving and it made me so very happy. Here are my daughter-in-laws Gabrielle, Amy, and Kelli.

My beloved sons Derrick, David, and Shawn...teasing me as usual....

Yes Shawn, It is my real hair. You can stop looking now.

You're still looking....STOP LOOKING!!!!

My sons are no longer my little boys...they are grown, handsome, and with families. I'm so proud of them.

Stop it boys! Enough with the teasing and Shawn you are still looking. YES IT IS MY REAL HAIR!!!!

Roger really isn't that short. He's just standing on a lower step. And boy, does he love his sons!!!

I'm glad I could give him such fine sons. I just wish he could have given me a couple of daughters. But, Daughter-in-laws are the next best thing.

Goofing off as usual............

Derrick you always look so handsome, even in your cap and scarf.

Kelli and Zac ready to head on home to Pocatello

There just aren't enough photos of these two cousins. They almost look like they could be sisters.

Myha and Abby forever friends.....

Myah and Abby with Kira the older cousin,

We had 10 grandchildren here with three others with other folks, and 8 adults...quiet a house full and a memorable special day.

The Last photos of my Oct. Cruise Aren't you glad???

Our last stop on our cruise was Ensenada. We took a tour into the city to see an old retired casino which in its day was the "Hot Spot" for the Americans during the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Infact well known movie stars came down from Hollywood to gamble. Jack Demsey the famous boxer in his day actually built the casino for his Hollywood friends. Later on, however, the town outlawed gambling. This beautiful building then became a reception center.

These were the handcarved, handpainted, wooden ceilings.

Beautiful handpainted murals adorned all of the walls displaying the starlets and night life of the era.

Next we went on a tour of the local winery. Everyone from our bus got to have a wine tasting session. Of course we didn't partake. Our tour guide couldn't believe it. She said, "Your are in Ensenada> This is the best wine in the country and you're not tasting????

Inside the winery were funny paintings of people getting drunk in the winery.

Before we got on the bus to go back to the ship we did some shopping and had something to eat at this outside bar. It was really decked out with displays and bright colors.

We even saw our state's liscence plate from the 1996 centennial.

IT WAS A GREAT CRUISE....LOTS OF FUN....GOOD FOOD...GOTTA DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!

The Animals at the San Dieago ZOO

Before heading on to Enscenda we docked at San Dieago. The weather was warm and beautiful. Gabe walked my legs off at the zoo. She wanted to see every animal in there...and we did!!

CAN YOU NAME THEM ALL??? I CAN'T........

This is a statue of an earlier mastadone.....They were huge!!!

Sweet little boy climbing on top of an earlier creature from the past.

This was most interesting...as the zoo keepers were giving a large elephant a manicure, they were distracting him at the other end with food.

Nice lettuce for the big guy to keep him distracted from his manicure.

We took the sky lift back to the main entrance to catch our bus to take us back to our ship.

Nice buildings in the distance...a conservatory and tower.

The lovely skyline of San Dieago...............

Now...on to Enscenda......are you bored yet????
