I LOVE CARS.

Back to the Future

My Favorite of the show.

Here are the pictures from the Canon City, CO. Abbey car show. I had a great time! It started out drizzling, but ended, sunshiney. I walked around shooting pictures, and someone even took a picture of my Chevelle/Rat Fink tattoo. They guy said, "I want one like that!" It was funny. He owned the black 70 Chevelle in the above pictures. I love car shows. I love to see how people put so much time, money and TLC in a car. And how proud they are to show them off. I just love these car shows.

VVVrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm VVVVrrrrrrmmmmmmmm VVrrmmmmmmmmmmm

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family that are MOM's.

I have no plans for Mother's Day besides church. No money to do anything big. I may go to the river and take pictures.. I have a photo gig in June I am excited about . It will be a family photo of three-four generations. Outside. Thanks Kelly!!!!

I will be laid off May 22 from my teaching job. It will not be fun. We are on job attached unemployment at about a third of our real pay. GULP. I hope to live off of income taxes when I ever get them. It sure is taking a long time.

The weather here is fabulous now. I love being outside and soaking up the rays.

This past Thursday the 7th of May my grandson Brock turned 5 years old. I sent him the movie "Bedtime Stories" . He called me to say thank you gramma . I always love hearing his voice. I miss him so much.

This week at school a little boy in my class asked me to give him a wedgie. I laughed and said "No Way." He is a funny guy, and he also sang to me this song..."STOP, IN THE NAME OF LOVE BEFORE YOU BREAK MINE HEART, STOP, IN THE NAME OF LOVE ,THINK IT OH OH VER." This kid is a hoot, and I hope he is in our class again next year. A little boy on the bus, told another boy him and I are going to get married. I just love listening to them talk, and ask questions. This is truly my calling. To work with pre-schoolers. Kim and I are blessed to be team teaching. I will miss the little rug rats over the summer. Oh but there is always Wal mart, the place to see everybody in this town.

Still waiting on my blood work I got done 2 weeks ago. Hope it comes back great. Everything else was fine. :)

So that is all for today. I have to say a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best friend Barb R. on May 10th. She is actually going to be in Colorado helping her daughter and son in law and baby granddaughter move back to IL. So~~~~ Happy Birthday Barbsie. I love you more....Then her hubby's birthday is May 13th. So Happy Birthday JIM!!!! My nephew Greg, will be 40 tomorrow, May 9th. WOW. I remember when he was just born. He has grown up to be a loving, responsible, caring, handsome man, and Christian husband and father. I am so proud.

:( May 10 is Bob and my 11th anniversary. It is so sad to me that it all fell apart. Our wedding day was so awesome on the Royal Gorge Bridge. Beautiful! I will never forget that day.

God Bless you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!! From Colorado..Gail

Canon City Blossom Fest

Our channel 5 news guy

Today was Blossom Fest in my town. It was a bit cold and rainy but fun. This year I got to walk to it from my house. I took pictures of things I liked. I saw many kids from class (one of the kids actually hung around me most of the parade.) and many friends from church and school.

I am not getting that trailer I wrote about. I had bad feelings about it and felt I jumped into it too fast. So for now I am content to be here in the house in Canon. Izzy and I are keeping each other company.

I sent Brock his birthday gift today. :) Hope he likes it. He will be 5 May 7th. Time flies. My sister Barb and her hubby Pete will celebrate their anniversary May 5th. Cinco De Mayo. Also my nephew (Bob's) Geoffrey will be 18 on the 6th. He is in the Navy Nuclear program. I am very proud of him. Then my nephew Greg will be having his birthday May 9th. Then on May 10th is my dear friend Barb's birthday...Yay! May 10th would actually be Bob and My 11th Anniversary. So bittersweet for sure, since we aren't divorced yet. :(

So have a good week and say your prayers. GOD BLESS YOU...........Love, Gail
