Family Reunion Memories--Winning a Car!

-
The newest member of our family
is Filiberto Hinojosa, Jenny's husband.
They were married in March and Fili
is just a super guy that we all fell in love with immediately.
On Saturday night, a large group of the family went to a
Skysox game. They are the minor league baseball
team who make their home here in Colorado Springs.
Someone had heard before the game that there were going to be
10 used cars given away at the game that night!
Guess who was the FIRST person to win a car?
That's right--Fili--the one and only family member
to be so lucky. Of course, there were a couple of
problems. Jenny and Fili had flown here, and they
both already had cars. So on Monday morning
they paid the taxes and sold the car.

I'd say the newlyweds had a pretty good story
to tell from their first family reunion
as a married couple.

It was so fun to be at the snack bar with Stacie and hear her yell over the din of people around us, "Fili just won a car!" We were so excited. Kelly

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
