Logan High School 1980

I was ready to save the world at this point. I am proud to say I did save just a small portion of it - just not the part I intended to.

Momcollage

I made this collage for my mom a few years ago.

(top left)my Granny Farley and Mary Ann standing with my cousins, Toni, Little Man and Bunky in front of my cousin's house.

(2nd. top) Mommy beside of her house plant. She loved that plant. (plastic) She gave it to me when I left home.

(3rd. top) Mommy beside of car the time we went swimming with my cousins in Gilbert.

(4th. top) My Aunt Edna and Mommy on the front porch of Edna's house. That is Toni holding the puppy on the stairs.

(bottom middle) All of us kids playing. I don't know whose adult bottom that is?

(bottom right) Picnic in Gilbert. Edna and Mommy. I am sure my dad or Don took that picture to embarrass them. They are fixing sandwiches for us out of the trunk.

I don't know who this is

I don't know who this is, I am hoping someone from my family identifies who it is someday. I found the picture in one of my Granny Brennan's photo albums.

10th. anniversary picture (1992)

This picture was taken for our 10th. anniversary. (1992) We were just starting to make it in the greyhound business. We had just had our first litter of puppies and everything we had worked for was coming together.

Soon after this I talked Bobby into shaving his head. (He looked much better bald!) We went to work the next day and told everybody that he came home drunk and I shaved his head to teach him a lesson. Everybody believed it.

I was furious with the girl who took the picture. Everytime she walked past me she would flip my hair back over my shoulder. I guess she was jealous.

My Granny Farley told my dad...

"the devil owed me a debt, so he paid me off in son-in-laws!"

Bruno Who?

Several years ago when I was working at a kennel in West Palm Beach the trainer I was working for transfered to a kennel in Miami. I was saying good-bye to him with a friend and the last thing he did before he pulled out was to reach over and grab me and lay one hell of a kiss on me. He kissed me so hard I got rug burn from his beard.

Jeannie and I went to the commissary after he left to hang out a little and many of the trainers were hanging out as well as my husband. One of the guys asked me if I had seen Bruno leave and I said yes.

Jeannie piped in, "Boy, oh boy, did she ever say good-bye to him!" She said it in such a way that of course everybody honed in on her and wanted to know what she meant by that. She laughingly told them about the kiss and everybody started to tease my husband. He took the kidding as good naturedly as any many could who was just hearing that his wife had been kissed by another man. The other guys spent the day making sure that they didn't let him forget about it either.

I got home from work last that night. Bobby met me at the door. He had flowers waiting and we had a very romantic night. Every so often when we were involved with each other he would stop everything and say, "Bruno, who?"

He made sure that Bruno was the last thing on my mind that night. It was a wonderful evening.
