Another person at the concert!

This is Michael McLean... Bad picture of him... but he doesn't stand still for very long. He went extra long because another artist had an emergency and couldn't come to the concert. He really listened to what he thought the Spirit was telling him. He sang songs that he thought people NEEDED to hear. Learn from, get inspiration from. It was amazing how many tissues were used that night.

At the concert!

ok... Hilary Weeks is so cool. She was sitting a piano, I couldn't see her very well... but the big screen and sound system was amazing. I loved it. I learned a lot and cried a lot.

One of my Dreams come true!

Last weekend I went to seminar down town called, Time Out for Women. Hilary Weeks... Sang, spoke, laughed... it was wonderful... I was standing in line to buy her newest CD... and my friend... (I mean Dick's friend) Gail saw that she was coming out and standing by herself. She pushed me over to her... I said... " I can't talk to her, she's famous." But I did and it was so cool. Gail took our picture. My hair looks stupid... but THAT is HILARY WEEKS!!!

Better, healthier, me

Still a self portrait. But I'm feeling better this day.

Finally here is a picture of me.

It's a self-portrait... not too bad...

More of our house

This is the view of the living room from the dinning... it is actually one huge room. The couch has to be in the middle of the room so I don't fall down. It is all so cute.


Another picture

This is our new dinning room... Those are my spiders I'm working on the table. We don't having pictures on the walls yet. That's a lamp on the left side of the screen.

Some New Pictures

This a lovely holder of our plants and knick-knacks... because having a fire is totally OUT OF THE QUESTION. It's cute!!!!

July 26, 2008

This what my brother changed my wallpaper to on my cell phone one day while he was visiting San Antonio when my mom was sick. He is always doing things that remind us that we are glad that we only see him every once in a while... just kidding... we love him.

July 25, 2008

This was the best birthday present I ever gave. This is my niece E's Build-a-Bear, Serena. She got to pick a toy at the Dollar Store the other day and she picked a new shirt for Serena. She has many outfits. It is very funny to see E take care of her dog Serena. She got to pick the name and everything. Her brother got one too, he got a monkey. He named his, "Way to Fast" ... he is too funny...

July 24, 2008

It's such a small picture. This is an old picture too. A few weeks ago my sister sent it to me. This is my niece and my great-niece. 6 and 3 months. They are both so beautiful.

July 23, 2008

This is part of the freeway coming out of downtown. It is 5 lanes wide. I think it's cool. My mom doesn't.... I love being able to go faster and having the freedom to do something different than the other hundred people besides me. But there are times when we all get to sit there together... that is not fun... honestly, I haven't done that hardly at all. But San Antonio is HUGE.

July 22, 2008

This is proof for my brother's that the "Great White Scout" does know how to get to I-10. West
West goes to my house. :0)

July 21, 2008

This is City Hall... and the Spanish Mansion is behind it. We were still driving. San Antonio has a lot of history in the city.... of course the Alamo and all the Missions... but Mexician stuff and German stuff and then plain white stuff... That's me... ha, ha, ha.... I guess I'm german too???

July 20, 2008

Ok... I don't know why there is a cowboy on top of a building... but there is... and he is COOL! It is downtown also. Across the street, kind of, from the court house. We were driving and I suddenly reached acrossed my mom and got this GREAT picture. He's so COOL!!!

July 19, 2008

There are palm trees sproating out of the sidewalks. On the left is the parking garage... on the right and up and little is the court house. I'm not going to take another CASA case for a while. Not until I can drive again. I can follow the rules if I can't drive myself. I will wait. I want to help children but I want to do it right. I have to be healthy myself first.

July 18, 2008

We were driving down town and there are bushes all over the places that are so beautiful. But you can't just stop and take a picture... so my mom is driving and I'm trying my best to roll down the window and turn the camera on and get it straight. This is the best I got of the these beauties. There was a whole roll of them in front of a tire store.... I thought it was a funny place for such a beautiful thing.

July 17, 2008

This is the court house and a neat building behind it. It is neat. I don't know what it is. It is just part of the San Antonio sky line. Another interesting part of a cool city.

July 16, 2008

Here is my adempt at being art-ies... This is the empty hall in front of the court room where my CASA case is. It is complete. It turned out great. He is going to be adopted by his foster family. It is a great situation. It couldn't be better for him. I'm happy for him.

July 15, 2008

This is a funny little coffee spot. It's across the street from the court house... It's called the "The Docket" I was still in the parking garage when I took the picture.

July 14, 2008

This is the court house in down town San Antonio. I was across the street in the parking garage on the third floor. It was a cool sight. I had one of our last hearings for CASA last week. Trial starts on Thursday and then I'm done with this case. One year done. Wow.

July 13, 2008

This was in front a Chick fl'A ... They have funny commericals. Cows are advertising to eat chicken... I think they are very funny. This was a blow up thing on the lawn in front of the store.

July 12, 2008

She is pretending to drive a race car. She is eight. She always has funny faces.


July 11, 2008

For some reason... licking your hand is what you do in a picture.... it as gross... Can you tell how hot we were?


July 10, 2008

I know this is an awful picture of me. But cute of the "new hair cut" ... It was really, really hot that day... and we were sitting outside.

July 9, 2008

It looks like he's in trouble... he's not. I'm not sure what he's doing. oh... also he decided that he didn't need pants. O.K. He's a funny little man.

July 8, 2008

These are the curls from the first hair cut... they got saved for her baby book. Lots of cute curls...

July 7, 2008

Here is the after... she is so cute. About an hour after it was cut... she asked me, "Am I still cute?" she was worried... I laughed and hugged her... and reassured her that she was still cute.

July 6, 2008

This is the before picture of my best-est friend's four year old's hair... she's never had her hair cut before. EVER. So this is the before....

July 5, 2008

Here is the same tree... just a different position... I realized that it was July 4th... we never even left the apartment that day. We watched some fireworks on t.v. But that was all the excitiment we had for our nation's birthday. We are feeling better every day. But not back to our old selves yet.

July 4, 2008

This is a bend over tree that is still growing in our parking lot. It's a cool looking thing.

July 3, 2008

This was hair cutting day. This is my best-est friend's eight year old. She is showing me her new shorter hair. She loves her long hair. It still seems really long to me.

July 2, 2008

It was really hot this day... He was trying to tell me that his seat was hot in his "Go-Go" but I didn't get what he was saying... He wasn't very happy with me. He's not quite 3... I understood later.

July 1, 2008

I finally have some other picture besides animals :0) This is my best-est friend's little guy. He is showing me a rock from his "Go-Go". He is a very intense young man. He makes me laugh.

June 30, 2008

If you look in the back ground there is a HUGE rodent. (like 160 lbs.) I don't know what it was called. But it was kind of scary... there were two of them, I saw one of them, but I didn't expect the other one to be swimming around... I jumped A LOT. It had huge teeth. When it gets scared it swims away. I just push my brother in front of me... they really like that. Ha, Ha!

June 29, 2008

He was big, beauty... the last time we were at the zoo we saw two birds beating each other up right below his perch. He doesn't really move from his spot. Those birds were increditably mean to each other. Like trying to drown each other. MEAN!

June 28, 2008

These were the only babies we saw besides the kangaroo. They are kind of the ugly ducklings. I don't really know what they are. But they were cute, this was soon after my walker got poop on.

June 27, 2008

The otter's were very playful. They went back and forth... A lot. I promise I'll run out of zoo pictures soon. But they are cool.

June 26, 2008

It was kind of sad to see the Bald Eagle. He was on the ground. Not flying. But he looked cool.

June 25, 2008

This is my oldest brother being a flamingo... he has some work to do to be able to blend in. Two brother's, two sister's, grandma, one aunt, and one cousin came to San Antonio, Texas. It was coozy at my house. We had a great time together. Unfortunate that they had to come because my mom almost died. She's fine now... hasn't gone back to work yet. But she's getting stronger everyday. Everyone thought that Texas was TOO hot. They decided that you should take a big breathe before you went outside... they were funny.

June 24, 2008

This is some of the flamingos... There were orangey ones and pinky ones... these are the pinky ones. This day is actually the day my mom got REALLY sick. She went into septic shock, one of my sister's come that night, then everyone else come the next day. It was quite an adventure.

June 23, 2008

More proof that it was really hot... it's a really ugly hyena.

June 22, 2008

Here is "Mommy" Kangaroo... we watched the baby jump in the pouch. The sign said he was born in November. He was a tiny little thing. The mommy jumped around got food and water... It was so cute. It looked quite warm though. I told my sister that she had quite the "hooter hidder", my niece, with the new baby has a cute one. Not so hot though.

June 21, 2008

Here is a silly duck... I'm not a fan of birds. A bird pooped on my walker while we were in the zoo. The napkin hunt took a really long time. There were tons of different birds, not to bad.

June 20, 2008

Even the Lions, who live in Africa, thought it was increditably HOT. When my niece and nephew were here we never made to see them because the six year old was always complaining to much to actually get there. WE MADE IT! Yeah!

June 19, 2008

Here is a BIG huge wart hog. He's getting ready to roll in the mud. He had big old tusk on him.


June 18, 2008

Here is the "left over" animal... I don't know what it's really called. It has all the left over parts the God didn't know what to do with. :0) Just kidding... at this point, my sister and I were really tired and sat down. My brother broke down and bought ANOTHER water for $3.00. WOW!

June 17, 2008

Here is a very friendly rhino. He wanted people to touch him. There was a security guard stand right next to the fence telling people not to touch him. He would reach his nose up to touch people. The fence was about six feet down from the regular ground level. You could just reach down and touch the rhino's horn. The security guard had a first aid kit... a BIG one... he just stood there yelling at people... not very nice. The rhino was nice ;0)


June 16, 2008

Here are the hippo's they were really close together... they eventually move apart. The closest one stuck his hiney towards us... we got a lot of hiney's that day. But they were still neat.

June 15, 2008

Here is the beauty again. He's still precious.
