May 29 Future Son-in-laws and Homeless in SeattleI have a photo posted of my "future" son-in-law... Gabe, he's 4 yrs old and in love with my oldest daughter (she's 16). LOL
His older sister a friend of my daughters. Their family was talking the other night about how important it was to find the right person, and falling in love... He spoke up and said, "I already found MY girl... Alaura!"
I took their picture last year, so, I told them that I needed to take their picture again. Nate is all for it, Gabe starts to walk away saying, no.... I tell him, "it's for Alaura..."
He turned right around and posed nicely...
My son Nick is a big Jimi Hendrix fan, so, I took him to Renton, where he's buried and they have the Memorial. I posted a few photos of that too.
On a different note... The other night when I was in Seattle, I went down to Pikes Place to show Amber (she's never been.) Parking there is a nightmare. I found a lot that was 10.00, but it was only open for 2 more hours. While I was reading the info on the pay box, I had a homeless guy come up and tell me that for 3.00 I could park on the street for 2 hours and some one was just pulling out. He offered to stand in the space so I could get to it. I took him up on his offer.
He didn't ask me for anything, and he reminded me of a friend of my husband's who's bipolar when he's off his meds.
Amber was freaked out that I would even talk to him. I appreciated his help.
I bought him coffee and a sandwich. While I was inside the place he found Amber and was talking to her. He asked where she was from and she told him, Santa Rosa, CA. He was familiar with the area... which really freaked her out.
I was going to go find him to give him the food, but he was with Amber. I could see the panic on her face, so I gave it to him and we left.
He was so excited and grateful for the food. I know I don't have to deal with homeless all the time, so maybe that's why I can be calm about it, but it was embarrassing to hear what other people were calling and saying to the homeless in the area.
Just thinking.... BIG HUGS, Steph May 28 I'm back... I think!Within a space of 2/3 weeks I've, flown to Santa Rosa, CA, drove to Oakland to rent a mini van, drove that mini van from Santa Rosa, through the state of Oregon up to Seattle, WA, with my son, his girlfriend and their lil guy Gauge. While in Seattle, he got a great job and we found, after days of searching, what seems to be a nice apartment for them to live in. We then turned around and drove back to Santa Rosa, CA.
While I was gone my other grandson, Dekeon was in the hospital, but he's doing great now.
I'll save you all the drama/headaches and crying I've done. I will say that I have no respect or understanding for Parents, Adults who are judgmental, hypocritical, and who verbally abuse not only their daughter, but my son, and then try to lecture me and mine about family values.... uh huh, I sure listened.
My son, Amber and Gauge have moved to Seattle. I know that Nick is excited and I hope that Amber finds she likes it too. It was hard for her to move because her mother and father did everything they could to make her stay behind without Nick.
It wasn't pretty.
I wish I had pictures from Oregon, which reminded me over and over again why I love the Oregon Coast so much, but, we had to drive at night so the baby would sleep.
When I flew back to Idaho, we turned around and drove to Twin Falls, Idaho. My daughter's fast pitch softball team made it to State again, and that's where they have the tournament this year.
They didn't place in the top 3, but did a great job.
My daughter was awarded, "All conference, 1st team." Which is a huge honor. The award is voted on by all the coaches in the conference.
I'm always proud of her, and tell her that as long as she's having fun that's what counts.
"State" lasted 4 days, and although Twin Falls is out in the middle of sage brush land... it does have the canyon and the Shoshone Falls. When the water levels are at it's fullest, the amount of water going over the falls is the same as Niagara Falls. While we were there it was at approx half.
There were some guys base jumping off of the bridge so I stopped to watch and take some photos.
One guy landed to fast and hard.... broke his leg and ankle.
Another guy who was one of the last to jump, got caught on the bridge. He was still hanging there when I left. I'm not sure why they hadn't pulled him up yet, it was a good half hour.
I came home to pot luck banquets, end of school stuff and a dirty house... oh joy.
The last day of school is tomorrow!
Please have prayer and send good thoughts for Nick and Amber. She really did have a very difficult time deciding to move. She was even threatened to be cut off of her family.
I have no idea how some people behave the way they do.
I love you all... thanks for being here for me and checking in. BIG HUGS, Steph
