You'd be 72 years old now, wow. I'm 66 now, seems weird. I retired 3 years ago and it's the greatest thing ever. Me and my dog Snoopy, are still in the Senior apartments, I love it. Chelle's retired too, almost for a year now. Her and Sam bought a house in Sun City, and sold their house in Nuevo to Destiny, who's divorced with 3 kids. Charity has a little boy and a big beautiful brand new house with her fiance' Jay. Trinity is still in Texas with her husband and 2 kids. Ty and Karen are the same, thank God for their stability, right?!! Andy is still in Victorville with his 2 kids and Tabatha. Justin is still in Washington State with his Wife and 2 kids. I love and miss you so much, more than words can say. I miss Mom and Michael too, more than I can express. And Dad too for that matter. I'll see you in Heaven my Brother.

Not sure why I haven't visited here in almost five years, but maybe due to overload at work x past 4 or more years. I know, poor excuse, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, by the way!
Hey, guess what? I retired last year, so awesome, right?
Anyway, we miss you here, and wanted to let you know that you are always in my thoughts, even though I don't come here very often to express it. I'll try to be better about it now that I have more time on my hands.
See you at the rapture when the Lord comes for his Church. Until then, love you Brother!
Willy!
Enough of that - now on a good note - Sissy is having a baby girl and this Saturday is her baby shower in the park at Lake Elsinore. It's supposed to be very hot that day. I would rather have it at Chelle's home where it's nice and comfortable, but her husband Sam doesn't like to have us over there anymore. Christmas and Thanksgiving is all he's willing to tolerate. Can ya really blame him? tee hee!! No, really, I do understand, him and Chelle both are probably tired of all the preparation that goes into a family gathering.
Steven - I see that Pee Wee has cleaned up his act - wow that is a wonderful thing to hear. He said you helped him by visiting him one night in his dreams. That was a very Fatherly thing to do, Brother. You may have just saved his life. Way to go Brother!! I'm sure Mom had many prayers go up for him as well. Mom loves all of us so much. She's a good Mom. We were very fortunate to have her and Dad as our Parents growing up. So many other children are so much less fortunate, we need to count our blessings.
It's a rainy Sunday, I love it!! It's so cozy and comfy to be inside peering out the window seeing the rain drops drip from the awning. I remember last year, the last week of the year, new year's eve week, I was sick with the flu and I had the yule log scene playing on my TV the whole time, with the curtains wide open, and there was some rain. Even though I was sick, I enjoyed that week so much! I medicated myself with lots of Alka Seltzer Severe Cold & Flu so I only felt tired, the flu symptoms were totally masked. Snoopy would be on the floor right by me the whole time as I lay on the couch. My neighbor would stop by three times a day and take him for a short walk. I was kind of bummed at first b/c I had so much stuff I wanted to get done, but I'm glad the Good Lord made me stop and just relax, and create those warm and fuzzy memories. Funny how other people have their favorite memories of like a lavish European vacation, or their big beautiful wedding. And then my latest favorite memory is one like this. The Lord has satisfied me with the simple things in life. Good thing though - cuz he knows I just got a huge rent increase that is restricting me immensely. I'm lucky if I have a hundred dollars left for the month after all is said and done. I'm learning to be very very frugal. I go from store to store for groceries. My latest was pork roast for 69 cents a pound. When I cooked it and put all the meat in a bowl, wow, it would have cost me about 40 dollars for all that meat, and I only paid less than 9 dollars!! It was a lot of prep work though, like separating the bone and fat from the meat. Snoopy loved it, he was right there to catch any scraps that I threw his way. And I take advantage of "rewards" points that I get from my "Shop Your Way" membership with Sears and KMart. So far I've got 2 Christmas presents with my points. Last Christmas Chelle told me they weren't buying gifts, so I didn't buy anything either. On Christmas day, there I was at her house, and they all gathered in the living room to open gifts!! I freaked out and was never so embarrassed. I couldn't even sit with them, I went and hid in the bedroom until they were finished. Now I know I shouldn't have acted that way, but Steven, I was never so embarrassed in all my life. It has always been important for me to have gifts, but I trusted her that what she said was true and I was kind of relieved b/c you know, it's somewhat of a financial hardship on me to get gifts for everyone on such a limited budget. So never again, I will always have gifts no matter what anyone says. I certainly don't want to go through that ever again. Besides, I do love buying gifts - finding the perfect gift and using my rewards to buy it, it's a real thrill for me to get such a good deal! Mom used to get so mad at me when I would buy name brand drug store items instead of the generic. Michael would always tell me that she was rather disgusted by it and that I thought I was too good for the generic ones. Well, now she can't say anything about it cuz I'm the generic queen!! God has really humbled me by giving me a tiny budget.
I just had a thought - the income I make isn't shabby and I'm having to scrimp, it's gotten so out of hand with our society. The illegal immigrants are taking over the areas that I can only afford to live in. Oh my gosh, Steven, if you were here I know for sure that you would be a Trumpster!! I know you would definitely be voting for a President Trump! You would love him, he's so much like us, even though he's a billionaire, you'd never know it. He's such a breath of fresh air. Hillary Clinton hates him and she has done every imaginable wicked thing to discredit him. I can definitely see that God is on his side, and I pray to God "may the best person win" and I'm getting the feeling that he just may have a good shot at the Presidency. If he loses I will have lost all my faith in humanity. If he loses, then that's a sure sign that the good Lord is making way for the end of the times.
Hey Brother, Snoopy is staring at me wanting some kind of attention and I have to go to the bathroom anyway so I'd better get up and start taking care of my "business"! Gotta get things ready for the work week. Looks like the rain is letting up so I might just have to take the old mutt out for his walk.
Tonight I'm taking one of my neighbor's to Walmart. Even though she's a Hillary fan I do this favor for her. I have to pray real hard to not hold it against her, even though I can't imagine how anyone would possibly ever want her in the Oval office is beyond me. She should be in jail if you want to know the truth (that was a Michael statement!). He always said "if you want to know the truth".
Well, if you want to know the truth, Brother, I love you and miss you so very much and am anticipating the day we will be reunited in Heaven. Until then I will keep plotting along, doing my Christian duty of shining God's light within me, helping to bring all of humanity to Christ. On that note, I'll say toot-a-loo for now and I will be talking with you maybe on Thanksgiving, but for sure at Christmas time. Love Love Love to my Dear Wonderful Brother, your loving Sis, Cherre (& Snoopy).
Your son Willy!
Pee Wee!
You son Willy aka Dorko!
love your son Willy

The best Dad
As a kid and a adault, I remember my Dad really living it up and enjoying his life to the fullest. He was into really cool things like rock music, Harleys, Hot Rod cars, Speed boats and having good times with his friends and family especially his brother Tyrone. Dad would take me to partys where live bands would be playing, I have fond memories of him of me and him riding around in his 69 Roadrunner fishtailing down the road as he laughed and i cried it was so fun though. It was important to him that i had a good time too. I really enjoyed the time we spent together in Washington out in the forrest cutting fire wood for the fireplace. We were Father and Sone together enjoyin life in the fresh air in the beautiful forrest, spending time on the waters in his speed boats watersking and really enjoying life together on so many occasions. He would bring me with him in his Big Rig truck, I thought it was so cool! The most fond memorie of my Dad was when he sat me down one day and looked into my eyes while he cried and told me " Son I love you, your Dad loves you so much" I will never forget that. He really wanted me to understand that. And I did and i will never forget it. The last time I saw my father, those were the same last words he said to me. He was the best father a son could ever want. I miss him so much. Love you Dad!
I will never forget the short time you stayed with me and my family. You spent alot of time with my 3 girls "your neices" and you made them sit and watch Beaves and Butthead with you. They will never forget those times. You always lit up every room you entered with your happy go lucky personality.
You seemed to be off on some new adventure having fun and enjoying life. I miss you. Hugs and kisses always and forever.
My Brother, Steven - "Too Much!"
I can't express enough the fond memories I have of Steven. He really left an impression on my life. He was my perfect image of what an older brother should be. He always looked out for his younger siblings, me, Michael, Ty and Chelle, then later, Justin and Andy. But then, of course, typically, he would always tease us too, in a fun-loving, brotherly way. I remember him always making me blush with compliments when I was a young girl. I remember him to always be so positive minded, and he was always so happy and smiling - "Too Much" he would say a lot, I love that memory of him! I saw Steven to be the kind to make good of any situation, he had his ups and downs, but I never saw his personality "down". I never heard him speak negatively about anyone or anything. He was such a breath of fresh air for me! I so desparately miss going to visit with him and Trish. I miss his presence. I miss the ora of happiness that would engulf me when I was near him. He brought a lot of happiness through the years to a lot of people. He is truely, deeply missed by me, and everyone else, I'm sure. I love you forever and ever, Steven! See you in heaven!
