It's been a long hard Spring, Summer and partial Fall...

Well, I go to pick up Ronny in two weeks. Yup, his time is up. Finally. I hope he learned something. I'm not sure what, but I hope he learned. I think he spent much of the time sleeping from what I gathered in our last conversation. I would have chosen to read everything I could get my hands on and write. But that's the choice I would have made and I cannot disrespect him for doing it the way he did.

In the meantime, I'll be happy to have my friend back. At least for awhile!

One Friend at a time

An update on "Ronny". He has served 6 1/2 months of his one year (reduced to 8 months) sentence. I guess he finally showed up.

Time flies --- I didn't even miss my one friend.

Stoli & I

I Am Changing

Look at me, Look at me
I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
I'm trying to find a way to understand
But I need you, I need you
I need a hand
I am changing
Seeing everything so clear
I am changing
I'm gonna start right now, right here
I'm hoping to work it out
And I know that I can
But I need you, I need a hand

All of my life I've been a fool
Who said I can do it on my own
How many good friends have I already lost?
How many dog nights have I known?
Walking down that wrong road
There was nothing I could find
All those years of darkness
Looking for some light
But now I can see

I am changing
Trying every way I can
I am changing
I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend
To help me start all over again
That would be just fine
I know it's gonna work out this time
'Cause this time I am
This time I am
I am changing
I'll get my life together now
I am changing
Yes I know how
I'm gonna start again
I'm gonna leave my past behind
I'll change my life
I'll make a vow and nothings gonna stop me now

Three Generations

Yep, here they are. My biological Mother, my half-sister and her daughter. Pretty amazing! I guess you could say I come from good looking stock. Mom is 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Dutch, German, English & Irish. My father is 100% Italian. And the talent...whoa! The three of them took tap dance in their little town of Walden, Colorado. The picture was taken at the recital where they performed to "The Way you Look Tonight!". I saw the video and they were the stars.
