Its September 17, 2009. I am off to work but wanted to do a little update. I love Fall. I like to wear jackets.................That sounded stupid.

Life is going. I am doing okay. I know a few people with H1N1 right now. It hasn't hit the pre-school I work at yet. I know it will come. I have to get a Flu shot. I just want the kids to get better fast and get back to school. They are precious and I want to teach them.

I have a new fun in my life. Karaoke nights. I don't sing, I just watch and sing from my seat. I love music, and love when someone can belt out a song with feeling and not look stupid. I am a regular now at Griffin's in Canon City. Thursday night Karaoke!!! I meet the coolest friends there. Plus the DJ guy is a stitch. He changes the words to some of the songs and we all crack up. I have even been goin out to the Night club places around town. Dancing, me? Yes. Watching the younger crowd and being asked to dance is a great way to have fun. I am loving this kind of exercise. Sweating off the calories. I loved it. Last week a cowboy ( about 25 years old) asked me to dance. And we did. Ok the funny part was when he said to me..."I'm not much of a dancer,,,,,,,, Ma'am." Nothing gets me more ticked off than being called Ma'am. Oh well. I am old. I am having lots of fun. Dancing, singing, and being with friends.

Oh, I better get to work. My weekend starts today at 4:30 pm. BRING IT ON....... :)

MY FUNNY LIFE..............................

Happy Saturday August 15. It has been one week since I was photographer for my nephew Phil and Elizabeth's wedding. It was beautiful!!! I was proud and honored to do the pictures. It was so fun to see my sisters, their families, Molly , Mike, Brock and old friends. I had a great time. It was very short, but great.

I am officially, legally divorced from Bob now. I have so many emotions about this. Still feeling like, what did I do wrong, and feeling lonely at times. Not knowing how to fix something. I do have many friends who have helped me fix things, or done something BIG for me, and I am grateful!!!! Jerry, Jeff, Ben, Bill, Tye, Tara, Zach, Tanya, Kim, Amanda, and John. You all rock in my book. I thank you all for being there.

I must say I have really bloomed in many areas. I took two college classes, and got 2 A's. Yay me. I have made more friends, and acquaintances in the last 3 mns. I have done more in the photo area of my life. And I have seeked God more than I ever have, ever. He has guided and helped me in every area of my life. I am truly blessed. I love my church!!! So many caring, and wonderful people.

So life is good. I am good. I am strong, and able. A new chapter is the odd but true life of Gail continues....................PEACE!

CRAZY HAIR DAY

Jeff's kids today on CRAZY HAIR DAY AT KID'S KLUB. CHECK IT OUT.

Today in my Life

me not riding a motorcycle
Yo Just a quick hello. I am done with classes. I hope to get my grades next week. I loved the teacher. She was very fun.

I have to share this story. This week I was taking pictures in the park of a family. For them not just because. I was hired. Anyway. I organize all 22 people standing in front of a bridge. Well out of no where a lady walks up the stairs with a donkey. It was so random I was shocked. I had everyone turn around and watch. Very strange. I was in such shock, I didn't take any pictures of it.

I am still driving my friend Jeff to work and dropping off his kids at Kids Klub. And picking them up too. Its fun to hear the kids stories. Today the boys went to the Insect Museum. I would hate it. I do not like bugs. But they did. So cool.

Tomorrow July 23, will be the anniversary of the day my wonderful mom passed away. I will miss her til I see her again. 5 years since she died. If you still have your mom or dad, cherish everyday with them. So be safe, please pray for my friend Kelley to be healed, and my friend Jeff Rudnik who is in Iraq now. Peace.

Here is Olive and her stick.

Time to update. This day started out by me being dorky. I was turning on the water, in the shower, and you have to lean in to reach the knobs. I felt myself starting to fall in slow motion. AAGGHHHH And I did. I twisted all the way around from the way I was leaning over. My body sitting in the bath tub with my legs hanging out of the tub. Yes, I looked pretty stupid. No, I didn't take any pictures. Thank goodness. DUH.

After I did take my shower, I got dressed and drove to my friend Dirk and Leah's house. This is 7 a.m. She is the one with a baseball field in her backyard. That they built. Its so cool. They have 3 black labs, a cat, 4 children. Gayle, Ben, Hank, and Claire. Gayle is the one I video taped her recent wedding. Then Ben is 18. Hank is 3, yes 3, and Claire is almost 2. Yes, all their kids. Leah rocks!!! I love going to their house. You can sit on the porch and hear goats, horses, dogs, birds, children and feel the love. Leah and I drink coffee and chat. Her hubby sleeps. We go in the back where she milks her goat Holly. I got to try. It was different. You know when you have a friend who makes you feel so comfortable? That is Leah. I love her!!!!! Hank and Claire bounce around and smile, cuddle and laugh, and jump on me. Hank is one funny boy. He eats dandelion flowers right off the grass. It blows me away. He knows it too. He'll say "Gail, look at me." Then he pops the dandelion in his mouth and chews it all gone. I brought some of my Hot Wheels cars over to their house so Hank could see them. He liked them. It is so fun.

After I finally left their house I went to see my mother in law. Betty. I don't like to say ex, because I didn't divorce them. Bob divorced me. She hugged me and we sat and talked a while. She has turkeys, chickens, ducks, peacocks, a dog, a cat, 4 goats, and three beautiful horses. Yes I love the country. After I left there, I went to the car wash and saw Art, my dad in law. Just wanted a hug. He is so sweet. It was really HOT today. 96-100 degrees. I had the cooler on in the house and all is fine.

Now I am off to the Veteran's Park for live music. I love my life. I will include photos of Hank, Claire, Gayle and Leah, Izzy and Sage. Happy July!!!! Love and Blessings. Gail

HEARTS

My new tattoo!!!!! It represents the nieces in my family. Heidi, Katie, Mandy, Kristin, and Laurie. Each heart is one of them. Hearts make me happy. My friend Tye and I designed it. He did the work on me. He is pretty good. I love it. So just wanted to update my blog. Things are good. Happy 4th of July. Enjoy the Freedom we in America have. Peace.
