We’ve all been there, that feeling that nothing is going right, the day is just plain Crappy. Crappy,,,what a word. I remember the day Sergio asked me about the word Crap. For those that don’t know Sergio is a 25 year old that works with us and we’ve known him since he was 10 years old. There are times he hears words spoken and he’ll ask me what the meaning is. So any way,,,that was fun talking to him about Crap, and it even sounds funny talking to you about Crap. I explained it as something we have to do every day,,,well hopefully everyday, and some at night and some in the morning. Some eat or drink certain items that inspire the movement of Crap, such as me! Awwweeee Nothing like a cup of Coffee in the morning. Read the rest of this entry »
We take many walks in our lives but very few seem to really stand out. There was the time I walked down a church Isle when I went to accept the saving grace of Jesus. There were the walks on the beach I took with Debbie when we were young Teenagers falling in like with each other, and yes the eventual walk down a church Isle as I held her arm as my new young Bride. And I’ll never forget that walk I took through a small wooden gate as I helped Debbie to the car as we prepared to head to the hospital to finally be able to say hello to our first Born daughter,,Nicki! There were sad walks as well,,, I’ll never forget walking the halls of hospitals knowing that my parents did not have long to live and trying to hold on to Hope and that things were going to be OK,,,by far the saddest walks of my life. But I must say that this last weekend I had the most incredible walk of my life. It was so incredible,,,,I’m having problems trying to put in into words. It’s a walk that I would hope every father would get to have,,,yes, it’s when you get to walk your Daughter down the Isle as she walks to her her Husband to be. Read the rest of this entry »
We love this time of year! A little time to get away, Football season is well on the way, but I just wish them Cowboys were doing better. One thing we love about the fall is that HOCKEY season begins and we have come to make it a special time. Debbie and I are huge LA Kings fans and for us one of the saddest times of the year is when Kings finish their season, and of course we love it when it starts up all over again.

Yesterday we had a very unusual Church service here at our home church in Ensenada and usually I just sit at my little spot behind the sound board and do my thing, but on this morning I was directed to sit next to Debbie. I’d say all in all it’s most likely been about 3 years since the last time Debbie and I sat next to each other, so yea, felt different and and it was just a strange kind of setting. We had some friends from our home church come down for the weekend, and I thought it was kind of strange that they came all this way to spend a Saturday afternoon with us, and then leave after church, but they are special friends and we love having guest come hang out with us. So there were a lot of little things going on that had me thinking OK,,,this is weird, not sure what is going to happen next, it feels funny not doing sound… Read the rest of this entry »
The projects I let come into my life are just plain getting the better end of me! Today is Mexican Independence day and we did the going to town for the parade and I guess I wish I would have stayed home as the parade was like all the other parades every year and they just don’t change,,,but another story for another day. I’m looking at everything I need to work on and it’s just getting to be a little to much, but when you don’t have the $$$.$$ to hire someone you learn how to do stuff, and some times the hard way. So as much as you might not find this very interesting, I’m going to list some of the stuff I have going on and if anything it can serve as my little on-line check list. Also who knows, maybe someone out there in cyber land can become my little “Project Accountability” person,,,checker-upper,,,yea…OK here we go………. Read the rest of this entry »
For those of you that don’t know,,,I’m a Texan,,well I was at least born there, but only lived in Texas for about 2 years, so I’m not sure if I can proudly ware the Title Texan,,,or can I? We made many trips from our home in Southern California back when I was little and that was long before the days of smart phones, and portable DVD players ( I feel so sorry for kids these days), but we had all of America to look at on them long trips, well,,,actually just a desert in a Pontiac Grand Prix with no A/C. Those trips were fun (once we got there) and I mostly remember playing in the dirt streets in front of my Grandma’s Read the rest of this entry »
This last summer we came into it with a rather heavy feeling being that I had just lost my Mom to Cancer. There was much to get done and lined up for the summer to happen and at times we just wanted to crawl under a rock. The summer did come, it had to happen, and we had the simple desicion as to just get on board, make the best of it and have fun, and actually that’s what happened. We were blessed a great staff year and they would seem to be the blessed crew that at times pulled me through the summer and often made me laugh and to look at life in a simpler way. Cesar has been working with us for two years now and he also a very accomplished bike rider and has a WALL full of trophy’s to prove it. Cesar needs to always be in shape and so one afternoon the guy approached me and invited me to Read the rest of this entry »
Odd to look at my own blog and to actually see how long it has been since my last blog entry. Life seemed so normal until the night of February 28th and that is when our world turned upside down. I’ve actually grown to hate late night phone calls as they usually mean something is wrong, and for that night it was that case exactly. The weeks, days, hours, and minutes that followed were very unreal and at times it’s hard to realize that it actually did happen and to know that this world is minus your own Mother. Many things have become very odd,,, Read the rest of this entry »
