CHURCH HUMOR

Familia,

The Daily Avocado Bloggers have been rather quiet the last couple of weeks. So, I'd like to share something I just received from one of my High School Friends. It's GREAT!

Have A Laugh!

MO'S MOUNTAIN

Familia,

Joe, Josh and I went up to Westcliffe yesterday and we got to walk Rancho Morales again. We hiked for almost 3 hours and the smells, the greens, the wild flowers, the breeze ....ALL the elements.......were, once again Amazing! (I'm so Amazing!).

The Ranch is presently called "Bo's Mountain". So, we've changed it to "Mo's Mountain", until closing time, at the end of the month; and until we come up with the Perfect Name for this BEAUTIFUL Piece of Land.

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Overdue Post

Hi all! It's been a while... "Susy, ay gara tel ia, ui gara ge raora hi-ar!" (Colombian/New Jersey accent) At the end of June, Raquel and I did a voiceover together in Boulder. She was supposed to leave for Germany the next day to join Joe Sr. when I was informed that the client needed a second female voice, and called my Handy. They believed me that she was awesome, but still had to present a demo of her voice to the client. She called it at the last millisecond and went for it, driving to Boulder and recording a sample of her voice, which was sent immediately via email to the client. They of course loved her articulate authentic Mexican voice and hired her on the spot. Poor little thing earned boo-coo bucks for one day of reading. It was wonderful having someone to talk with on the drive and a loving family member with whom to share some wealth. I feel very wealthy in the department of Love of Family and Friends. Happy times right now.

Speaking of Happy times, I have to include this not so good picture of Perry, my Yellow Naped Amazon, or "Green Chicken". I got home from the grocery store and was filling the birdfeed bin with parrot food when Gabe said, "Mom, look at Perry!" That little rascal had climbed up the blinds' string and was swinging and cackling like a crazy bird. Gabe took this photo with his cell.

Love you all,

Suzanne

Calendar

I've also added a family calendar so we can track family birthdays, events and performances of our artists. I have made this private so it is not viewable by the entire world. Becuase of this, you'll need to sign up for google calendar to see it. You can do this at:
