A portrait of me

My husband's boss Paula Villanova made a portrait of myself. I was so surprise that of all she can think to paint she thought of me.  Honestly this is more like a wish comes true.  I have been wanting to have a paint of my image but I know i can't afford it.  or let me say I am so cheap?

Thank you Paula. This is a great presents.  Taking the effort. I love it.

Thanksgiving 2011

It was a pleasant day for us. We stayed home. For 11 years of marriage it was the 2nd Thanksgiving that we celebrate at home. For a change just us Roger, the girls, mama and I. I cooked Turkey, stuffing, green beans casserole and potato scallop. We also have rolls and for the dessert chocolate cream pie, pumpkin pie and carrot cake. According to everyone food were delicious. Yeheyy am I a good cook now?

The most great for this day was we all had more bonding time. We all set down and watch movie together and we did Karaoke as well.

We are thankful for everything we receive through the years. Thank you god for foods, shelter and clothes that you provide for my family. We hope and pray for our family who is suffering from illness like Denise and Dave that both are having brain cancer. Please cure them. We also pray to keep my family in good health. We thank you oh Lord for all you have done to my family.

Missing Someone

"Life is too short" a simple quotation that keeping my husband and I try to do some fun and memorable things with our family. We learned our lesson when after mother-in-law past away. We thought we will be having her for a long time.

When my father-in-law passed away we lived together with my mother-in-law. On that year during her last year of living we focus on fixing and cleaning the house. We had a plan to have our vacation on the following year because we thought she was that healthy. But surprised as on the month of October 2004 we noticed jaundiced on her eyes. But she wait to go to her doctor after she hosted a birthday party for her son Mike Roger's brother. She was diagnosed with liver cancer. That she only have 3 to 6 months to live with chemo. But that was not the casethe day before thanksgiving of 2004 we burried her. It was not a good thanksgiving for all of us.

Every thanksgiving we always remember that we burried her day before even that she died November 21st. This year will be 8 years lving without her. Spiritually she always in our heart. I love her so much. She was one of a kind person we get along so well. She treated me as her own daughter. She had been telling everyone "she could never pick a better wife for her son". That meant a lot to me. I hear her at least many times telling this to people infront of me.

To you Mom Annette you miss you so much. We will see you but not in the near future.

Happy halloween

Another year of trick or treating!!! Girls dressed up as Hermoine Jean Granger from Harry Potter for Leona and Frankie Stine for Angel. They got lucky because weather was not bad at all considering we have snow day before and snow still on the ground.

As usual we went to Norton reservoir. This is great place to do trick or treat. People are really into it. Houses well decorated, people acting up. Overall a safe place for everyone. Kids ended with a bunch of candies.

We able to see Mike and his family. Did visit Steve and buddy and surprise Liza at her work. O am sure that made her night.

Once again everyone had great time. The girls had a good amount of candies. Now I just have to make it sure they will only have to eat 2 candies.
