  • A Favor, Please!


    Several of you have exchanged e-mail addresses with me.  I have lost all of them.  I thought my Outlook Express was backed up on my external drive, but it wasn't.  I lost everything in my e-mail.


    If you could leave me your e-mail address,either by "messaging" me, or e-mail it to me, I would really appreciate it.  I had a list from my old computer, but so many of the addresses have changed since 3 yrs. ago, most of them are useless.  I have heard from Sunny C and Josaju, so I have theirs.


    Thank you ahead of time.


    ---------------------------------------------


    Talked to son, Jeff, late yesterday afternoon.  I answered the phone, and he said "Guess where I am?"  I knew he could be anywhere in the southwest!!  Dumb question!!


    He said "I'm at the Crystal Palace."  Took me a couple seconds to remember where that is----Tombstone, Arizona.  He said they had been just walking around the main street, and turned into this place.  He said to Judy and kids, "I remember this place.  Mom, Dad, Greg and I were here in the 70's, when we were on our way to Mexico."  I figure he was around 10 yrs. old at the time.  It is an old-time saloon. Very old, dark wood and ornate bar with tin (copper?) ceilings.  The Crystal Palace dates back to about 1880.  The original bar was purportedly sold to a Mexican cantina during prohibition, and burned a couple years later, but was reconstructed in the Crystal Palace Saloon in the early 60's.


    Anyway, from Tombstone they were going down to Bisbee and on to Las Cruces, before going to Carlsbad Caverns. 


    He had gone to the two sign companies in Sierra Vista, but neither place could use him temporarily.  But both were interested in him permanently.  Told him if he decided to live in SV permanently, they would like to hire him.  I think it will be quite a while before he decides where he wants to live, though.


    ---------------------------------


    Sometime I will have to blog about our trip to Mexico.  Quite a saga.  A trip none of us will ever forget.

    Don't forget to give me your e-mail addresses!  Thanks!!  You all are the best!

  • Ok, yes ma'm!  Right away, I will do it. 

  • The trip seems to be going well. Is the purpose of this trip to find somewhere to live or just to see the country?

  • Sad to hear that I hope you get your friend's emails back.

  • Your son's adventures continue.  He'll have many stories to tell the rest of his life!

  • Yikes, losing all that info would be scary; I've gotta hope that doesn't happen here.

    I've never been to Mexico, but my brother has - he loved it.

  • RYC: Families can be so crazy sometimes.
    *sparkle

  • On our last trip to Yuma we came back through the Organ Pipe Park deal and went to Tombstone. Not a place I'd be interested in living or really even visiting again.

  • Sorry about the loss of the email addys. They are going to have a tough choice of where they want to live after visiting all these places

  • I remember our trip to Tombstone.  Touristy but...lots of fun.  I would go back.....I really like Bisbee.  In fact, I loved all of AZ!  So much beauty there and history!! 

  • Do you have an external hard drive.  It's probably a good idea.  Also when you get a new computer, it will be easy to transfer all the information.  Isn't modern technology wonderful?(except when it's not working)

    Sending some sunshine your way.:sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny:

  • Will do!  do you think winter will ever go away!?  This is just crazy.  Dan needs to prune the apple trees and they are still surrounded by 3 foot snow drifts!

  • Grass, you mean you have no green grass there? . . . but you have all that pretty snow. We have barely any snow this year.

  • I loved Old Tucson, but that was eons ago!  lol.  Would love to go back and see how it is now.  Probably much the same, or it would lose it's flavor.  Don't know if I would like to live there or not, though......thinking of the heat.  But doubt there is an ideal spot to live.  lol

    Hugs, Ethel

  • I'm so impressed that he and his family are doing this.  What memories they are creating!

  • I really have enjoyed his and his family trip/lifestylechange and I have stayed home.  I am glad you are back.  I think I need more external memory. Shoot!  I just need some more brain cells.

  • It's amazing how much we have come to depend on these dang machines!! When mine goes down I am lost !!

    I enjoyed hearing about your sons trip--I hope to do that someday--if the price of gas every goes back down !!

    RYC--as for your kind offer to share your zero temperatures with me--NOOOOOOO--THANKS----lol--this snow and 28 degrees is about all we want--LOL

  • It ' s certainly a place where people in 1880 were wearing blue jeans !!!

    I will send to you my address as you ask , Nancy .
    Love

    Michel
