La Nina Fresa

I had to post something because I know my sisters read this at least once a day and they get sick of looking at the same picture over and over. First of all, thank you Alex for the lemon curd. It was so good and so appreciated. In return, I'd like to share this with you...........

This picture is old. One of the kids took it as I was walking through our old house and they love it because they think I look like I'm dancing the robot. It's a favorite around here. Below, you will find one of two restraining orders Oscar has served at school. This is the new thing in elementary school boy/girl relations. As you may guess, it was Oscars buddy I've talked about before that spurred this. Pete said he may use this idea at work.

Oscar has been saving his money for some time now. He is good at that, not like me. He loves to think about what he could buy. Usually, he ends up "lending"it to Siobhan so she can go out with her friends. I am not happy about that but he still does it. I do recall, however, talking my sister Luisa into "lending"me money once to get an ill advised perm. It didn't even take. Anyway, Oscar made me so proud, or as Hans likes to say, prouded me up, when he took all his saved up money and asked if I would take him Christmas shopping. He bought a present for his brother, both sisters and each one of his cousins that will be here Christmas morning. He really thought it out and I thought I'd cry just watching him think out if each gift was really right for the person. He had a difficult time when he walked past the Star Wars section and saw some new figures he doesn't have but wants. I told him it was his money, but he held tough. He came home and wrapped them all himself and put them under the tree. So, I think that I will have to get back to my blogging. I have been in a funk, and it's hard to get anything done in such a state. This makes me happy though so I plan to post everyday this week. My Mom will be here by Monday so that will be great. Now,as a last thought for today I would like to revisit a period in my life where my sister Alex and I were the best of friends. She was still in high school and I was not. I had a car and she did not. I weighed about 280 and she wore polyester bendin' easy pants. We both had red hair. And, WE HAD FUN! We played music so loud in my truck that we blew the speakers, I sang along to everything. This was a favorite, kind of an anthem to those days,so Alex may I present the video....

P.S. The red suit and tie will be an absolute must for Pete this Christmas. I call this song!
