My Dad and Farrah Fawcett

You are asking yourself what does my Dad and Farrah Fawcett have in common. Nothing at all. So more about Farrah in a minute. This is the picture my sister texted me of my Dad on Father's Day. He looks so amazing since I saw him last October. 

I talked to Dad last night and again this morning. He telling me he's so tired and doesn't know how much longer he will be here, He says he can't wait to get to Heaven because he will have his perfect body. I want to tell him please Daddy hold on a little longer I will be coming to visit next month. But I don't say this because I know I will start crying. Like I am crying now. So I change the subject to my sister, because today is her birthday. I am Daddy's little girl. I would miss him. I know he's tired he has to go 3 days a week to dialysis but I want him around longer.

So enough about this crying stuff

So on to Farrah. I just finish reading Ryan O'Neal book on Farrah. I really enjoyed reading about their love affair that lasted many years. They were the "golden couple" both so beautiful. I was a teenager in the 70's and I so wanted to have her hair. I think everyone has their one true love and I thinks she was his and he was her's. I read Ryan's book first then I read Farrah's close friend Alana Stewart's.

I absolutely loved Alana's book. This is a true friendship, the greatest love you can give to a friend. She basically put her life on hold to be with Farrah. I know I said no more crying stuff but this book did make me cry.
I highly recommend Alana's book it is so worth reading. I want to be this kind of friend.

Joshua's 8th Grade Graduation

My Grandson Joshua graduated last week from 8th. I can't believe he is going into high school next year.

 Him and his group of friends

 He is so handsome and I am very proud of him

 Dad (my son aka Josh Sr) in red stripe & Allyssa (sister), Nicky (brother) and the 2 great grandma's

 Above photo Grandma (me) and his 2 great grandmother's (my mom in white Grandma Shaw in Blk & white) and also little Nicky who wanted in all photos. Do all divorced couples do this Dad's side of family and Mom's side of family?

Joshua's Mom Christina in blue dress and also cousins and aunt. 

 I am just glad we all get along.

These are the cupcake I made him. Very time-consuming but the kids loved them.

Hulk Nicky

My grandson Nicky (3 1/2 years) old is crazy about the Hulk. He wants all the toys, wants to watch all the movie. I found this website that I could add his picture to the Hulk. He loves it!

Pinky Promise

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and Happy Birthday to my Dad. Dad turned 84 today! I love them both so much and I know I am blessed to still have them with me. Mom is flying down for my grandson's 8th grade graduation this week. I can't wait to see her!

Mother's Day

Today Nicky and I worked on an art project for his mommy for Mother's Day. Here is the artist and the finished artwork. He doesn't want to wait til Mother's Day. He wants to give it to her today. I told him when his hands were all green he looked like the Hulk. lol Which he is all into now. 

Excessive Heat

I can't believe it we are in the middle of April and we are already breaking heat records! I think as I've gotten older the heat had really effected me more. Its seems crazy but my rheumatoid arthritis always fares up more in the heat. You think it would be just the opposite, but no. At about 4pm yesterday my back porch was still 104 degrees. I am just trying to stay cool and out of the sunshine. Hoping the next 6 months go by fast. 

In Memory of the RMS Titanic

On the night of April 14, 1912 the RMS Titanic was on its maiden voyage from Southampton England to New York City

It was a beautiful ship inside and out. It had many luxuries.

It hoped to make it to New York faster then any previous ships. But its fate was already sealed when it struck an iceberg which ripped open the side of the ship. It had boasted that it was unsinkable. The tragedy claimed more than 1500 of the 2228 passengers and crew on board. There was not enough life boats for all on-board. Many of the life boats were launched only partly filled that night.

Titanic struck the iceberg about 11:40 pm on April 14th and sank just a few hours later at 2:20 am on April 15th. People were shocked to hear of the sinking because it was thought to be unsinkable.

John Astor and his wife where one of the wealthiest people on board. This above picture is of John Astor's funeral. Madeleine Astor & unborn son survived the tragedy.

The wreckage of the Titanic was not discovered until 1985.

Since then many artifacts from Titanic have been recovered from the sea bed.




Millvina Dean was only 9 weeks old when she survived. She was the youngest on board. Millvina passed away at the age of 97 in 2009.

Death has now claimed all of Titanic's passengers.

The Titanic tragedy has inspired many books, films, plays and artwork. I believe as the years so by it will inspire many more.
