You Just Have To See It To Believe It :o)

As some of you may know, Street Vibrations was just this past weekend
in Reno. Many of you may have scene the thousands of bikers everywhere you went. We are talking leather, chrome, tattoos, body piercings, Hells Angels, women showing themselves to the crowds up in Virginia City, the poker run to the Cat Houses....I mean, the biggest, the baddest and some just downright ugly.

But would you believe, in your wildest dreams that in all of that mess you would see this.....

Yeppers, that is Merrill and I and the baby swing we bought in Reno. We rode with it tied to the back of the bike for about half of the day. All over Reno and then up to VC.

A Mom and dad have to do what a Mom and dad have to do. Maverick needed a swing as the other one broke. Parents first, Hells Angels wannabes second. LOL

Hugs to you,
Roberta

Cool! I just woke up a few minutes ago, and checking the news before I get ready for work -- seeing you and Merrill on the bike with the swing strapped to the back, is a nice way to start my day!

Hugs,

Roberta,
You totally ruined it for me with the picture. I had envisioned a swing that didn't fold down-swinging in the breeze as you rode along...sticking up like a flag.
You all are our kind of people. K

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

TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. 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.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA

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
