Chloe Paparazzo

-
Now, to introduce you to my favorite member of this household. I know the other members of this household don't mind her being my favorite. My daughter, Chloe Marie Paparazzo. She'll be 15 years old on August 29th. She will be a Freshman at The Community School here in Spokane. She's one of the most talented people I know. And probably the wisest young person I've ever met. And, I raised her. Shocking, I know. She plays the violin. She and I are hoping to soon play something together. I play the flute. She likes to ride horses as well. She competed in barell racing and pole bending a couple of times. Not too mention dummy roping. That is something she also has in common with me. We both love horses and rodeo. Actually, I'd lost sight of that passion in me until she got interested. She is an honor roll student and is also very active in church. She helps me in the nursery with the itty bitty babies. They're adorable. She's very independent and always keeps moving, like me as well. It's not normal to see either of us sitting at home watching tv and playing on our phones all day. We get really bored with that. Not that I don't do that, but not all day like some people do on their days off. She has the most amazing laugh and she's always smiling. She doesn't even see the cloud, just the silver lining. I'm sure in the future I will tell some stories about how she sees the world. It's fascinating, really. But right now, it's late, and I need to settle in for the night. So, that is Chloe Paparazzo in a nut shell. Not a peanut shell, cause she's allergic.

Who Would You Most Like To Meet And Why?

-
I would like to meet my great-grandmother, the one that died on the same day as my grandmother's birth. I never knew that until my grandmother died. I wish I had known what she was like. My grandma never talked about her family. It was like she was trying to hide her tragic life. I wish she hadn't. I'm inspired by tragic beginnings that end beautifully. I would like to know what her family was really like. I didn't even know that her mom didn't raise her. Why did I never ask? Probably because I was a kid and had things to do. I wish I had been more interested in my relatives' lives. I know kids who were. I wanted to run around and I didn't want to slow down.

May Update

Hopefully life will slow down a bit this summer and I can write something other than updates on my life. I've decided I am definitely going to Eastern Washington University. At this point it's just a matter of when. If I can't get financial aid, I'll have to figure out another way to pay for it. But one way or another, I'm going. I've completed and turned in all my assignments for my class so far, so that's a good sign. Now that I'm into Algebra in the math class it's a lot harder. There are some things I'm still trying to figure out. But little by little I'm starting to figure out how to do each thing. It's a process. I refuse to give up. That is one good thing about my stubborn personality. Which is why I know I'm going back to school. There's nothing else I've ever really wanted to do. So, I'm just going for it. So, I'll be in my 50's by the time I graduate. Who cares. It's something I've always wanted a

My grandfather passed away in 2009, if I remember correctly. My grandmother had passed the year before or so. Anyway, when I think of my grandparents I think about what their house seemed like when I was little. They lived in this huge house on top of a hill just outside of Tekoa, Washington. It seemed like a castle to me, towering over the much smaller houses beneath it. And the King and Queen lived inside. Those were my grandparents. As you entered the house usually the Queen (my grandmother) was in the kitchen preparing something. And then you went into the living room and the King (my grandfather) was on his throne with his feet up either watching tv or checking the back of his eyelids for holes. He wasn't sleeping. Not at all. And some people thought that throne was just an ordinary recliner. Nope! It was a throne. But make no mistake, we all knew that when it came down to it, it wasn't the King that was in charge. You wanted anything you went to the kitchen and asked the
