My Heart is Breaking~

My brother-in-law Richard (Dick) Martinelli passed away suddenly on Jan 8th. My heart is breaking for my sister Cindey. A little over 4 years ago they lost their oldest daughter Angela. And about 5 years ago Cindey had breast cancer. I just think she has had enough suffering. Anyone who happens to read this please pray for her.
Richard was going to retire in May. They were going to move back to Arizona. She will probably move back sooner now. I will love having her closer to me but I sure wish Richard would be with her. Also my other sister Gloria & her husband Eddie, our Mom & Dad still live in NM. I know they are going to miss her so much.
We had just went on a trip to Tombstone and he seemed fine. We were planning another trip after they moved back to AZ.
My Dad's health has went down so much in the last month. I am afraid we will be losing him soon. He has bounced back so many times, we are praying he will this time too!

Here is a link to a video of Richard being silly. What he does best. Love you Richard, we will sure miss you!

*I dont' know whats up with Blogger I tried to add pictures but it wouldn't let me. I haven't been on here in a while probably some new changes I am not aware of.

My Trip to Tombstone AZ

 

 

I was born and raised in Arizona but had never been to Tombstone. It has been on mine and my sister's bucket list for a while now. So finally last week my sister Cindey her husband Dick, my son Jeremy and myself when to Tombstone. We really had fun but wish we had more time to explore this interesting town. We started at Boothill Graveyard.

 

These graves are the most famous ones because they were the men who died from the shootout at OK Corral. (Which really wasn't at OK Corral but was real close)

 

 

Next stop was the Bird Cage. Which is why Jeremy wanted to come. See my son is a big fan of Ghost Hunters. They filmed a episode here.

 

 

The stage inside the Bird Cage. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. You can see the uper box seats to the left and right above.

 

 



 

One of the rooms on the bottom floor where the "Ladies" stayed.

 

 

 

 

Big Nose Kate's Saloon. We had lunch here. It was very good.

 

 

The stage inside of Big Nose Kate's. It was small too.

This is the site of the famous gunfight at OK Corral. It was behind the actual corral area, in an alley.

Liquid Diet~

 I am so crazy about these two drinks. I could have one for lunch and then one for dinner. And I would be so happy! I have never felt this way about a drink before. I wonder what they put into them that keeps me coming back? lol
Anyone else have something you crave?

Nicky's Halloween Pumpkin

I had Nicky for a while yesterday. I sure have missed this boy. He told his mama the other day she needs to go back to work so he can spend time with Grandma! Made me smile even though I know he's a big mama's boy.
I got little pumpkins the other day so the kids could decorate them. Here is Nicky's he did yesterday. He is just so cute I love this little guy and his pumpkin too!

Enjoying my time with Allyssa

Allyssa was off this week for her fall break I am so happy I got to spend 3 days with her. I really enjoyed spending time with her. I know she is almost at the age when it is not cool to hang out with grandma. So I am enjoying every precious moment with her. I took this pictures of her at the Buckeye Park here in town. She is so beautiful! She doesn't think she is but I know she is.

Randomness

 I can't believe it is almost been a month since I was on here. Really nothing to report except I had a blood vessel in my eye pop. Since those pictures look so bad I wont post them. So just a few random photos of Nicky. I hope everyone here in blog land is doing ok. I'm sure the few who did follow me have left since it's been so long. I will try to blog more after I get home from visiting with my parents. My dad is once again not doing so good. But he has bounced back lots of times, so I am hoping he will once again.

 

 

Oh this is my playboy blanket not his lol

Living in an Oven

Can you believe it is after 6 in the evening and we are still 115 degrees! I am wondering why I live in this oven? Oh now I remember my grand children live here  :)
I also notice with this picture I really need to dust the inside of my car....but not in this heat. lol
