I love to yahoo
Hi, I was married to a wonderful man for 30 years. His name was Jose Valdez, we renewed our Wedding Vows on Dec 16,2002. Jose just passed away on April 17, 2006. I live in Nampa,Idaho again.
The past year was so hard and I went through too many really rough periods of time! I spun way out of control for awhile but I am getting back on track now!
I would love to hear from my old friends and schoolmates! :) I really miss everyone a great deal!
I enjoy quiet times at home and walking and fishing. I also enjoy going for rides to see the countryside, traveling and getting together with friends. I love to read and write poetry! I have had several poems published already and am working on publishing my own book of poetry now.
I am also working with Nelson Ortiz right now on a CD project! I am writing the poetry and will be reading it and Nelson is writing the background music for the CD! That is really exciting!
Winter days usually finds me hanging out at the house. I love to crochet when it is cold!
Summer days could find me anywhere! I love to swim or even just be in a pool keeping cool! I love going to the car races and Monster Truck Rallies, going to the sports events and concerts and walking.
I love to be out and about but I also love to be at home curled up with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book or watching a movie or something. I enjoy having friends and family over for BBQ's in the summer too. I also really enjoy going to church now.
I don't do the bar scene anymore but I still love to shoot pool! :) Not that I am any good at it now! :) I used to win trophies in pool tournaments all the time years ago but I haven't shot pool since about 1987! Wow a really long time ago! I sure do miss it! :)
If you remember me, contact me! I'd love to get reaquainted with all my old friends and all those that wanted to get to know me back then but were too shy or whatever! :)
I was real shy back in those days and didn't get to know half the people that I wanted to meet! I'm still shy, I guess you don't always out grow it! lol I was a loud mouth trouble maker back then but when it came to meeting someone, I was really shy! :)
I live in Nampa, Idaho now. I moved here in 1976 and met and married Jose, then we moved back to Los Angeles in 1980 and back to Boise, Idaho in 1...Expand for more
987 and back to Nampa, Idaho in November 2005. I love it here! It is very laid back here! A much slower pace than Los Angeles but I still miss LA!
The city life is so different! :) I really miss the Palm Trees and the Beaches!!! We don't have either here in Idaho.
I think about everyone I went to school with a great deal! I'd love to hear from you all again! If you have myspace you can find me out there!
Take care everyone and I hope to hear from you soon! :)
Well it is May 2013 now. I am with a good man Jerry Pedraza and I have 4 stepkids now. I am really very close to 3 of them and am very grateful for that! I'm a Grandma now too! :) I love all my kids and grandkids very much!
I'm living in Caldwell, Idaho now but we are thinking seriously about moving to Pueblo, Colorado to be with all our kids and grandkids.
After Joe passed away I moved to Caldwell then Jerry and I moved to Montana which was a huge mistake! We hated it there so much!!!!! I miss California but it is much slower pace and quieter here.
I am on Facebook now so if you want to find me look me up there! Hope to hear from atleast some of you! :)

School
I married my biggest crush! Jose Valdez :)
The teachers that inspired me the most were Mr. Black at Glenfeliz, Mrs. Douglas at Glenfeliz, Mr. Martin at Allan F. Daily High (C.T.), and Mr. Cosgrove (Cos) at Allan F. Daily High (C.T.)
I didn't like school but now I know how important it is! I wish I had paid more attention in school and tried harder!
I remember hanging out with my friends. There are lots of things I don't like or want to remember but there are times that I do treasure from my school days! I did have a lot of good friends and I miss my true friends! :)
I do really remember Drivers Training with Cos! That was probably my best memory of School! I really enjoyed that class and Cos was great! Carlos and the other people I had that class with were a great group to be with! :)
Nampa High was a time to remember too! The Homecoming Dance was my first date with Jose! :) What a night! I remember hanging out with my friends.
Where is everyone at now??? When I was going to school, I never dreamed that I would be looking back on those years so fondly! The memories of those years will always be with me! If any of you remember me and want to get back in touch with me, I would love to hear from you! :)
