Street Vibrations SAturday September 23, 2006



Merrill and I took Saturday off and went to Street Vibrations. We did something we have never done before, we did the "CatHouse Poker Run" For those of you that may not know, brothels are not only legal in many parts of Nevada, it is a thriving business. Well, once a year they are open to women also....during Street Vibrations. It was really not as bad as I thought it would be. We rode for hours, going to the different business' collecting our punch for the poker run. It was actually quite fun. I have never in my life seen so much chrome, leather and Harley Davidsons. Merrill loved all the attention that his Boss Hoss attracted. It is hard to believe that even after 28 years of marriage, I never know he could talk so much. The only other place he talks this much is in elevators.....just ask my sister, Tammy.....LOL. Neither of us won, but we enjoyed a full day of just the two of us. It was nice. We also took the time out earlier in the week to enjoy a dinner out for my birthday. It is funny how the older one gets, the more birthday's take on different meanings. This time we took McClain and LisaMarie and the focus was more on them and doing a few things they loved doing. It was great. More later...Love to all.

Boy,that's the truth. I never knew anyone could say that many words in such a short amout of time in an elevator. Not to mention he was talking to complete strangers! You go Merrill, you go. Love you Tammy

JUNE 30, 1978

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho

We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email....

JERICHO'S LIFE MATTERS

These three little words that I posted on Facebook evoked a lot of emotions. Jericho's life matters. Why did I post those words?? Reality, Jericho had emergency surgery on July 8th. As I am writing this, he is still in PICU on a vent with no end in near sight. He is one sick boy, not a little boy, but soon to be an 18 year old man. I felt that the ones who should care about Jericho, did not. I felt that the ones that should be visiting Jericho were not. Bottom line, I spoke out as a mom in pain, hurting and tired. But you know what, God is in control. A wonderful person reminded me not to let negative thoughts enter my mind. She was and is right, but still, Jericho's life matters. Jericho has Cornelia de Lange. He also has PICA. PICA is what put him here. It is the uncontrolled need to eat things that are non food items. We spend each and every day pulling things out of Jericho's mouth. Even the younger kids know to holler when they see Jericho trying to eat something. It i
