12-31-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
Glad you liked the fake fireplace?
I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and truly hope your wishes come true for 2011. I am working on one New Years resolution which I believe may make you happy if I can achieve it, and I will keep you informed as to my success.
How are you coping with the snow fall from last week? NY has made the headlines here for the amount of snow and the trouble it has caused. From what I remember, the main roads are probably clear, except for Market lane. Please be careful if you are shoveling. Don't do it.
So, do you have any plans for New Years festivities. As for me I am planning to do two things. One is at 9:00PM to watch the Times Square ball drop on TV, so I can share the New Year coming in with you on the east coast. Then, three hours later, I plan to go for a walk some two blocks from the mobile park, which has a super clear view of the hotels on the Strip because they are going to have a fireworks display from the top of some of the hotels. So, my idea is to walk around the "desert" and watch the fireworks and bring in the New Year, then go home.
Well, I dare say that my new years resolution has been broken already. I tried to make the resolution to think less and less about you. Oh what can I say, we both knew it would not last. I do mean it when I tell you that I wish you the best for yourself, for your happiness health wise, financially, and mentally stress free. And I also want to thank you for everything that you have taught me, done with me, and shared a part of your life with me.

Hi Babe:
As always, be careful with the coming snow storm. I know I should not worry so much, you want your independence, but I will still worry for a while. Hope you had a good Christmas, Santa was good, and everything is well with the boys also.
I do have a story to share with you. First, Vincent Ciano, the guy who gave me the book, closed on his loan on Friday. I saw him, and he is happy to get rid of his mortgage payment. The story I have to tell starts with a guy named Terry, 79, from England (a PIP), who is buying a home here with a Reverse Mortgage. His claim to fame is his wife, 77 whose name is Phillipa! (that’s how she spells it). Well, as you can guess we hit it off right off the bat. Although he was not completely sold on the idea of buying a home and having no mortgage payments to make, by the time we shared stories about his wife and you, well, lets say, he is buying the house. And yes, I did show him a few pictures I still have on my phone. Guess I should owe you part of the commission since because of you, that he is going through me for the mortgage.
Another story I have is about Russell Schoeneck. This guy is in his 70’s, has a serious case of Parkinsons, and his wife who is a lot younger than he is, is divorcing him and taking everything she can from him. According to Russell, she has a lawyer who is taking all of the proceeds from a Reverse Mortgage (that’s about half the value of the house) plus another $10,000 for a new car for her, plus most of the furnishings from the house. Russell says, says she is moving to Texas and leaving him here by himself with his disease to fend for himself. How cold can a person be? He looks at it that by her leaving, and his getting the Reverse Mortgage, he can keep his house although he will not have any equity left in it. He says he will be dependent on the Government and the Senior organizations here in Vegas to care for him. Sad!
See, I always say, plan ahead. Be able to count on someone else to be with, who you can love, and depend on. Seek out happiness, Babe. Don’t grow old by yourself.
Again, be careful with the snow storm, be good.

12/13/10 Babe to Me
Hi,
Sorry to hear about Jose. What a terrible thing to do to him after so many years. I feel very bad for him and his family. I hope something good will happen for him.I'm happy to hear you are moving forward with your life. It will definitely take some time, but I absolutely think it's a healthy decision. I enjoy reading your stories, so keeping emailing if you want.Talk to you soon,
Me
12/11/10 Me to babe
Hi Babe:
Certainly I have placed my life on hold for the time we have been apart, but please know that was my decision, and I did it because it was right for me. Never have I regretted a day. And as for my obsession, I would like to call it; love. I can only hope you find someone who can love you a fraction of how much I did, and you will be happy.
I received a call today from my friend Jose Henriquez from Oceanside. Remember him? Well he told me that two weeks ago, he took a week’s vacation from his job at the Nursing Home which he had been working at for over 39 years, and went to El Salvador to visit his family there. Well, when he returned last week, the Nursing Home fired him. Just like that. No reason other than they did not need him anymore. What a thing to do to someone, to make a decision while they are away on vacation. Jose has a mortgage on his house paying over $2700 per month (and never been late), but now finds himself not knowing what to do. So he called me for advice. Me, for advice?
He certainly does not have the money to pay off the mortgage nor make further payments. He will have to be forced to sell the house quickly, and move into an apartment. He may be able to move from the US to El Salvador to live. Or he can move in with any of his kids if they have room for him. If he sold the house, and paid off his mortgage, he would only walk away with about $40,000. I could not believe that he had refinanced his house over and over again over the years since I got him his mortgage to where now he has no equity left. What a shame. What a position to be in. Hope he gets out of this situation. I did want to tell you about him, because I knew you knew him.
As for me, I’m trying to look at life a little different, but it’s going to be hard, and take some time. Especially during the Holidays now, I will still be thinking about you. After the New Year, I will have to change things around at work. I currently have you down as the beneficiary for my insurance and other things with Wells Fargo. I will also have to change my Will, in which I left almost everything to you. And what should I do with all my passwords on my computer, which I use your birthday as the password? Guess I’ll have to change that too?
Do you still want me from time to time to send you my stories of some of the mortgages I do for the Seniors? I’m doing one for a Doctor whose wife has Alzheimer and he needs the cash to take care of her at home instead on in a nursing home. He told me that it was worth it for him to keep her close to him even though she does not recognize him. He really loves her, and needs her near him also. He will be devastated when she passes. Some of the cases I see would qualify for a TV episode for the Hallmark channel. What is very heartening is the love people have shared throughout their lives. It’s fantastic to see this.
Hope you are okay, and the boys too. Be well. BTW, be careful with the coming storm on Monday.

12-4-10 Babe to Me
Hi,
Thank you for your email. I'm glad you had a good time here. It was really nice seeing you again too. I'm sorry your back was hurting. I hope it feels better. You definitely were lucky to be back in a warmer climate. The temp here is now only in the 30's to upper 40's and chillier at night.
I want to clear something up about what I truly believe is an obsession. I meant what I said about it being unhealthy for you. You've put your entire life on hold for something that was dormant for nearly 6 years. I never wanted us not to be a part in some way of each others life. I just feel that by you not socializing whatsoever with anyone, you hadn't taken one step further along from the day you left. I want you to enjoy your life in Vegas. If you find someone to share it with even better, however, we will always share the memories of many years together. I'm glad you want to remain friends. I told you I feel much more open and comfortable with you now than before. Try to keep positive and upbeat. You can still call me babe if you like. It's fine with me. Let's keep in touch.
Me
12-4-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
It was wonderful seeing you again after such a long time. And I do want to thank you again for inviting me to Thanksgiving dinner with you and your family. It was good to see everyone, but specially your Mother. She does look good, even though she had fallen that day, and I hope she has many more active years in her.
The boys also looked good. Michael has not changed much in the past 5 years, but John has. Guess his time in the gym and weightlifting has changed his body.
What can I say about you! You have not changed either. I know you won’t agree with me, but you haven’t, except for your hair. Stay healthy, and you will always look beautiful. Also, I must thank you for your truthful opinion about me. Although I was, and would always want, to hope there is something between us, I realize that is not what is in your best interest. As I told you, I have already started to take down some of your pictures and although I cannot do all of them “cold turkey”, I will promise you a change in me about how I feel about you.
Two things, I do want to ask you is if I can still call you Babe, and for you to know you can reach out to me for anything you ever need in the future. As per your decision; always friends.

11-22-10 Babe to Me
I think you're overreacting about the body scanning thing....you're not going off to the torture chamber....you're going on a short vacation...let's try and see the bright side of this.... Have a safe trip. See you on Wednesday.
11-22-10 Me to Babe
Babe:
I got a copy of my reservations today. I had to call Delta, to get it, but they were accomodating. Im finishing packing tonight, and tomorrow after work, I'm be heading for the airport, (to get groped & fondled, or get X rayed) lets see what happens with the TSA.
See, I will give up all my rights as a human being, (and as an American!) and allow anyone to do anything to my body, be subject to all kinds of physical abuse (around my "junk" parts) and ridicule by the flying public, and allow myself to be radiated by X rays, photographed naked, and be displayed digitally forever in some computer, just to see you. It's a small price to pay.

Hi Babe:
Did I tell you, I hate text messages? Well, I still do not understand them. Maybe you can give me a crash course on how to do them. Sorry about the last one I sent you. And, thanks again for getting the U-bet syrup. That was so nice of you.
What I did figure out was that when I receive a text message form you, since I do not erase the previous one, the new one shows up right after the last one received. So, when I looked at it, it was connected to the one which had your picture in the kitchen. And, of course, in my wildest dreams, I wanted to read there was another picture coming my way. Okay, so let me dream!
Did I tell you, I already started packing? Have way through. See you in a few days.

11-6-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
Sorry I could not talk to you this morning. This couple I had just gotten to their house 6 or 7 minutes before your call, you would love them. They are in their mid 60's, great looking house, have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 fish tanks, and 2 birds. The house was like a zoo. This was a strange case, where their financial planner had told them to look into a reverse mortgage. This very seldom happens. Most financial planners are not well versed on the reverse mortgage product. Must try to meet this guy and thank him for the referral.
After I finished, I drove around the perimeter of Vegas on the 215 loop, hoping you would call back. Then went to Walmart to get a yogurt for lunch, ate it in the car, and drove around some more. Then decided to come home. I'm here now doing my reports for work for the week. Sitting outside on the deck, it is beautiful here. No wind to speak of, the temperature is in the high 60's, and its so, so quiet.
Hope you are okay. Do you need anything? And, thanks for calling. Started to make the list of what to pack, you know me, I get airport sweat, but there is really very little to bring with me.
Me
10-30-10 Me to Babe
Babe:
Made the reservations with Delta. Arriving on Wednesday at 7:48am. WIll go pick up the car and then go to the motel. Made that reservation also, at the Red Roof Inn in Westbury. After that, I'll have lunch, and wait for you to call me after you get out of work. If you and the boys want to go to dinner, or we can go anywhere you want. Your decision.
I leave on Saturday at 10am.
Me
10-28-10 Babe to Me *
I'll let Jackie know that you've decided to come for Thanksgiving. Just one thing....we wanted to invite you because of everything you did to help my mother get back here quickly and so you don't have to be alone for Thanksgiving. There is absolutely no other reason, please don't come here with any other thought about that. This is supposed to be a nice visit for everyone. Also, unfortunately my work week is the same. I'll only be off on Thursday for Thanksgiving and Friday. Saturday, I'm back to work. Let me know when you're thinking of arriving. I think you should stay with Mike. I'm sure he won't want to take up all your time. I'm glad you decided to come, but please respect my wishes as well.
10-28-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
Yes! Yes! Yes, I do want to come to NY and see you for a week, a few days, even for one day. As soon as I get off this email, I will start to look for a flight, and car, and a motel to stay.
Even though I can stay with Mike, as I said, I don't want to have to stay with him and do things with him. Im going to see you, not him, so I would rather stay at a motel nearby. I will also work on time off from work, so I will be able to tell you by tomorrow a more definite schedule. What will be your work schedule that week?
I do want to thank you and your sister and mother for extending this invitation for me to be with you. I know they are not doing it to see me, but rather so we can see each other. Thank them for me.
Will let you know more soon.
Can I bring my camera?

Hi,The busy season is starting at work now, so it's a little crazy, but it makes the day go quicker....I'll try and call you later and we can talk about the email....it's been a while, so I'm not as overwhelmed as before..but you know how I am about privacy....I don't necessarily think it's a terrible idea to put your feelings down on paper...but having the immediate world reading about me is a different story...we can find a compromise...
Also, I wanted to talk to you about something else...nothing bad, but I ant your honest thoughts about it.

Hope work is a little bit under control. Didn't mean to overwhelm you with the letter, but when you get a moment, please, let me know what your answers are.
If you don't have the time, a little bit at a time will do. I will always wait for your answer.

Hi Babe:
Sorry I could not talk to you this morning. This couple I had just gotten to their house 6 or 7 minutes before your call, you would love them. They are in their mid 60's, great looking house, have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 fish tanks, and 2 birds. The house was like a zoo. This was a strange case, where their financial planner had told them to look into a reverse mortgage. This very seldom happens. Most financial planners are not well versed on the reverse mortgage product. Must try to meet this guy and thank him for the referral.
After I finished, I drove around the perimeter of Vegas on the 215 loop, hoping you would call back. Then went to Walmart to get a yogurt for lunch, ate it in the car, and drove around some more. Then decided to come home. I'm here now doing my reports for work for the week. Sitting outside on the deck, it is beautiful here. No wind to speak of, the temperature is in the high 60's, and its so, so quiet.
Hope you are okay. Do you need anything? And, thanks for calling. Started to make the list of what to pack, you know me, I get airport sweat, but there is really very little to bring with me.

Babe:
Made the reservations with Delta. Arriving on Wednesday at 7:48am. WIll go pick up the car and then go to the motel. Made that reservation also, at the Red Roof Inn in Westbury. After that, I'll have lunch, and wait for you to call me after you get out of work. If you and the boys want to go to dinner, or we can go anywhere you want. Your decision.
I leave on Saturday at 10am.

I'll let Jackie know that you've decided to come for Thanksgiving. Just one thing....we wanted to invite you because of everything you did to help my mother get back here quickly and so you don't have to be alone for Thanksgiving. There is absolutely no other reason, please don't come here with any other thought about that. This is supposed to be a nice visit for everyone. Also, unfortunately my work week is the same. I'll only be off on Thursday for Thanksgiving and Friday. Saturday, I'm back to work. Let me know when you're thinking of arriving. I think you should stay with Mike. I'm sure he won't want to take up all your time. I'm glad you decided to come, but please respect my wishes as well.
10-28-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
Yes! Yes! Yes, I do want to come to NY and see you for a week, a few days, even for one day. As soon as I get off this email, I will start to look for a flight, and car, and a motel to stay.
Even though I can stay with Mike, as I said, I don't want to have to stay with him and do things with him. Im going to see you, not him, so I would rather stay at a motel nearby. I will also work on time off from work, so I will be able to tell you by tomorrow a more definite schedule. What will be your work schedule that week?

10/2/10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
As for the Community Property issue, I will refrain from saying anything to John as you wish. However, in the future, he should be made aware of the consequences not because of any negative thoughts about the two of them, but as a financial decision especially if he uses all his own money to purchase a home. By the way, this does not affect any situation between you and me, because everything I have is yours anyway!
"I just hope someday I can be stress free and not worry about money, or getting sick because I don't have health insurance. I'm keeping positive thoughts that this will get better.... " Babe, Babe, Babe…the day is here! There is nothing you will ever need. As long as you let me, and I am capable, you will have everything you could possibly want. Health Insurance, if we are together, I can cover you with Wells Fargo. A job, you can work whenever you want, and have no one looking over your shoulder…work with me in the Reverse Mortgage field. I need you to do a lot of the “office” things that takes too long for me to do, and follow ups, which I am not too good at. Stress; what is that? Let’s plan vacations like we used to. Go on (shorter) lunches from time to time. When can we go shopping? Let’s find a farm to pick our own tomatoes for sauce, or fruits for pies. Be part of my Senior world. You will love dealing with these older people on a daily basis. Imagine working like it was the Levittown Senior Prom every day. Great stories we can share and live through. As for money…there is plenty out there. Let’s go earn it together. Wells Fargo has given me an opportunity to make a lot of money, which I can’t spend by myself. And there is always the opportunity to start another company and be involved in Real Estate and Mortgages again if we wanted to. I do have both licenses here already, just in case.
Then there is love. One thing that should be clear to you by now, after knowing me for 18 years, and for the 5 years we have been apart, is that I love you. As for the “bumps in the road”, I promise you I will not lie to you ever again! I'm sorry for my mistakes. As for other issues, let’s talk them out. Tell me which ones bother you in order, and I will address each one for you. I am getting too old for feeling like I am 35 years old, and reality of life is the focus is more on Medicare, Doctors, and illnesses than on anything else. My focus in life will be to take care of you, to make you happy, and to see to it that you are healthy.
Remember when I used to tell you how jealous I was of John because of the relationship you had with him. Well, that feeling is still there. One thing which I cannot wrap my mind around is why you let him do everything for you, and as far as I can tell, you cannot accept things from me? Is there something I am missing? Whether it’s love, money, security (both mental and physical), a home, financial debt, our lives; why can’t we live for each other? The only thing I can think is that you do not love me. And, that, is, the only thing I can accept. But, if it’s not that, then, why? I must be missing something!
Thanks for believing in me, and counting on me for any needs you may ever have. It’s a long road for me to travel, but I need to gain your trust, and love. And I need it, I need you in my life.
Me
10/1/10 Babe to Me
Thank you for sending me the info about Nevada being a Community State. I would rather not give that info to John because I don't want him to think I'm already being negative about anything he's doing, or I have any thought that he and Melanie will eventually break up. Hopefully, he'll learn as he goes, but thanks for always thinking in their all of our best interest. I trust what you tell me.
It has always meant alot to me that I can depend on you no matter where you are, how far or what time of day, night or year it is. I probably should have told you that more often instead of thinking you knew it. Feeling secure and safe is something I've missed for some time now, but I know even though we're had our bumps in the road, one thing was certain...you will take care of me no matter what. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I can't just stay home from work. I don't have that type of job. I wish I did, but it's too late now. I just hope someday I can be stress free and not worry about money, or getting sick because I don't have health insurance. I'm keeping positive thoughts that this will get better....you know I've said many times.."there is always someone who has it worse off than me"....but I feel like I'm nearing my limit. I 'm sorry to vent..I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself..I'll be fine tomorrow.
Talk to you soon.

10/1/10 Me to Babe
Babe:
Thanks for letting me know how you are during this storm. Hope the boys are okay too. And, why did you have to go to work this morning if the weather was so bad???? Nothing is as important at work as your health. Some days you just have to be able to stay home and not have to brave the elements and a possible accident. Be safe.
One thing I did realize last night, when I woke up at 2:00am, was that if you are ever scared or afraid of something, or don’t feel well, or something is bothering you, or something has happened around the house, please call me at any time. Even in the middle of the night! I usually don’t sleep the whole night anyway. I have one good ear to listen, or if you need, you know how much I like to "fix" things. I still have some friends in NY I can count on that will take care of you and do anything you need.
On another subject. I want to discuss something with you as John’s mother, before I send him any information on this. You know I would do anything for either of your kids. I love them as if they were mine, and as my children, I would want them to know this before he makes a decision to move to Nevada. He should be aware that Nevada is a Community Property State. Since NY is not a community property state, he may not be aware of the circumstances or pitfalls it may bring. Although he may be very much in love with Melanie, and since they are not yet married, he must know what the consequences are of buying property in Nevada by himself or with her.
In Nevada if a single person purchases a property alone, and eventually another person, spouse or not, lives in the premises, that person is entitled to part of the equity in the property even though that person is not on the Title. So, if John will be buying a home here with Melanie before they get married, or even after, and he buys it in his name only, she may have a legal right to half the house anyway. For his protection, he should discuss this issue, and have a pre-nuptial or seperate legal document written up to protect himself in the future.
I will try to find a copy of the law and send it to you to read. I wasn’t sure if I should send this information directly to him before you had a chance to know about this and get any more details for yourself before informing him. If you don’t have an objection, I can always send him a letter explaining this Community Property State Law stuff, or you can just pass this on to him. Whatever you want.
I’m always thinking about you,
Me

Hi,Well, I hope the worst of it is over. It's still raining and windy, but died down a lot since last night. The drive to work this morning was horrible.

Talkk to you son.

9-24-10 Me to Babe
Hi Babe:
Want to share a story with you of a man I met with the other day, that in his own way, he has affected me in my life. This is a story about a man in his late 70s who lives alone in a one-bedroom condominium, and whose wife has passed about five years ago. After ringing the doorbell, he opened the door, and I faced an old man with a dingy dirty white T-shirt. My first thought was, this is not going to be a good appointment. I felt this might be one of those situations, that people are not clean, they don't take care of themselves, and you know me, I do not want to be sitting among filth. However, as I walked into the guy’s condominium; he had decent furniture, nice tile floor, and from what I could see, which was the living room, dining area and kitchen, it was fairly decent and not dirty. I sat down at the dining room table to discuss with him about the benefits of a reverse mortgage, as I always do with everybody. After talking to him for almost a half hour, to 45 minutes, I noticed that there was a double picture frame, one of those that fold like a book on the table. It wasn't facing me so I did not notice the pictures in it. But after our discussion about the mortgage was over, the gentleman’s, name is Vincent Ciano, that's when he told me about his wife passing five years earlier. Since that time, he has had very little motivation to live, and to continue on with his life. He showed me the pictures in the frame, and they were easily taken in the 1940s early 50s. He spoke about how much he loved his wife, and what she meant to him. He told me a about their life together before they got married, and about their 63 years of marriage. As part of the conversation I told him that he was very lucky for having had such a wonderful relationship with a woman, his partner, during those years. He told me, that he was blessed for the time that they were together, things they did, places they visited, and yes, even the memories they shared. He mentioned that after her death he had written an article for a publication which was read by a woman who contacted him to give him praise about the article, the style of writing and the way he was able to put thoughts to paper. During the conversation with this woman, he mentioned about his wife, just like he had mentioned it to me, I suppose he talks to anyone and everyone who will listen, so he can keep the memory of his wife fresh and alive. She convinced him to put his thoughts and experiences on paper, which he did. This woman took all this information and made it into a book which she had published for him. He was also asked to put some of his thoughts and experiences from the book on some web site on the Internet. This I'm not sure how it developed but he got many, many responses. Anyway, I told him that his life story, or part of what he told me about it, was very exciting and the thought he was able to put it in writing and turn it into a book was fantastic; and I told him how much I loved the idea of what he did and I told him how lucky he was to have had her in his life for all those years. Then before leaving, I asked him where I could buy a copy of the book, so I could read and feel the love that he shared with his wife. With that, he went to his desk, took out a copy of the book, and proceeded to autograph it for me. I was so touched by this man's story, about his life with his wife, about the love they shared, I promised him I would read the entire book and get back to him. I believe, in the long run he will get the reverse mortgage, but that is of no consequence anymore. I will do whatever I can to help him and then some.
After I left, I went to Dunkin' Donuts to get a cup of coffee and read part of the book. Then, if I tell you I could only get to page six, because my eyes were tearing so much, that I could no longer read. Know that in those six pages, I've only read the dedication of the book of his wife, and some responses that he received to the article that he wrote on that web site I told you about, from complete strangers who read his story and had to respond to him. Later on that evening, I tried to read some more, and again only got through a couple of more pages before I was crying. I was crying, not so much for the story of his life, but for the love that is showing in the words he uses. Somehow, at some point in time, I will get through this book, as I will get through getting him a mortgage, and I hope that in the future years I can keep in touch with Vincent, and perhaps even, God willing, have you meet him. I will also, if you would like, send you the book so you can read it yourself and see just what I’m trying to say in this letter to you.
Babe, throughout our relationship, I have done some crazy things for you, like putting your picture on four credit cards, or putting your picture on a postage stamp, or naming a star after you, and getting you everything and anything that is pink (like a silly thing such as a pink knife) or have so many pictures of you throughout the house or even having your pictures on a video frame on the kitchen counter, or even something new I'm working on which is a video made up of your pictures put to music lyrics. Yet, I hope I get the inspiration in the near future to possibly write one about you, about us, about the times that we were working together, going on vacations, going shopping and even to be able to put in words what you have meant to me in my life, how much I have loved you. Maybe if I put this in writing, maybe after I'm gone you will understand what you meant to me and what we have missed by not being together: it's a shame, it's a shame that we have even missed one day apart. But maybe that's what I will have to do; is follow in Vincent's footsteps and find out how to get something published to leave it for you and your kids and whoever you want, so that everyone can know just how much I love you.
Me.
Oh, I forgot to tell you he has a Dachshund dog. A male, 13 years old. Called Rambo. And they live for each other, now.

Thanks for the beautiful card and its message. As you can guess, I made a wish! Can't tell you what it is, because it may not come true, but its a good guess what it could be.
I'm waiting for it to come true!!!!!!! God is with me.
Thanks again, and thank Mike also. I miss you guys.

Hi Babe:
Its Saturday night, and I am bored. So, Im working on a map of Vegas to send to John. In it, its highlighted the different areas and what they are know for, good areas are marked, and bad crime areas are defined. Also, there will be a list of good neighborhoods with each zip code for him to look up individual zip areas on that web site I sent you a few days ago. All he has to do is log onto the web site and enter the zip code he wants to look up, and the available houses or condos will show up.
Please pass this on to him. It will be a couple of days to get everythign ready and I'll mail it to him. And, please, let me know if you got your computer yet.

Hi Babe:
Please tell me if you have gotten back your computer? Is it working perfectly right for you?
The reason I'm writing is to share with you a real estate web site I will be sending John for him to see what is selling here in Vegas. With this site he can view houses, or condos, and by individual zip codes. I'm working on sending him a map which has the zip codes and my estimation of which ones he should look into and which ones to stay away from. The web site is: TeamTaylorLV.com the agent which he will eventually deal with is Spencer Walden. I'll send him this info over the weekend, or you can share it with him.
Must tell you the weather in the evenings is just perfect. You know me, I can't easily say good things about anything, but the weather and Vegas are just great. I am trying to take short walks at night to breathe that "fresh air" you always wanted me to take in. Because of my foot, I must be careful and not over do it, but its just so nice, its indescribable, and it must get done. I wish we could take these walks together.

Hi again Babe:
There is a product called "Great Stuff" sold in Home Depot & Lowes that comes in a can with a plastic nozzle which you attach to it, and it sprays a kind if liquid foam which expands upon hitting the air. Its purpose is to spray this stuff into opening from outside into the house, around pipes entering the home, in fact anything you may think a mouse can get into. Spray a bit at a time because this thing expands to fill the hole and is water repellent. After it dries into a solid you can cut so its even with the hole or pipe.
The can cost about $3.88, and it may help close up those pesky holes with are like highways for these tiny creatures. Try it outside before applying it so you (or Mike) can get the hang of the spray, and how much to apply, before actually plugging any holes. If you need any more information on this, call me.
See, I write almost every day even though I may not send them all. And, thanks for your kind words about my "rotundness", although I am not happy with the way I feel.
Write soon,

Sorry, but the pictures did not go through the first time. I'm trying something new to get them to you. Hope this works.
I took these myself using a tripod this weekend at Red Rock. This place is near here (15 min) off Charleston Blvd. The place is just beautiful. You would love it also.

Hi,I read your email. I definitely do not want another credit card. I was able to get a Capital One card with a $500.00 limit so I keep that in case of emergency. Please don't get any cards in my name at all. I'm working very hard to get out of the credit situation and I'm doing OK. Thanks. I'll let John know about the age limit at the park, unless you've already emailed him. Thanks again for everything and all your help for John and Melanie. Talk to you soon.

HI Babe:
Must say, your picture has made a big hit at work. Since I placed it on my desktop on the computer, some of the people at work have seen it. They also noticed how differrent I was acting at work, so I told them about your picture and what it means to me.
Anyway, the reason for todays email, is to tell you that I have a credit card I can send you for you to have. I know you are saying, "no", now, but think about it for a minute. Can you use one in case of an emergency? Or if you need something to get and don't have the cash at the time, then you can use it. I'm ordering one in your name, so if you say, yes, then I'll send it to you. If you say no, well, I don't know what to do with a card with your name on it. What do you think? Are you using the PH or he F, in your name now? If it the F, then I will have to change my insurance since its under PH.
Oh, and don't worry about charging anything, remember, its only money. I can handle it, especially if you need it, want it, or deserve it!
I found out about the age limit in this park. The minimum age to live here is now 35 years old. That will help John make a better decision. The one thing, Im going to do in the next day or so, is to go to a Realtor and see if I can put my license with him, and be able to get Listings over to John.
Okay, enough for today.

Hi Babe:
And, you said, you did not takle good pictues. Thank you again for sending me this beautiful picture of you. If you look this good on film, WOW, how you must look in real life. Now, I add, your special smell, and pretend to touch your magnificent skin, and the feel of your lucious lips. My compliments to whoever took the picture.
The lighting is just right. The angle is perfect. The focus is just right. The eyes in the corner, looking at the camera. The model is gorgeous. The smirk in your smile is to die for. And, you are beutiful! Guess you can say, I can't stop looling at it. Oh, yes, its now my wallpaer on my phone.
When I come down from my "high", I will send you one of me. I have been taking a few of myself to give you, but its in no way going to compare to yours. First, Im not a pretty as you! Im getting older, you are not. I have gained a few (okay, a lot) of pounds, you have not changed. My hair is grayer, your is blonder. Also, just got a haircut so its very short for practicallity. Yours, although a bit shorter, it looks beautiful. If I did not know you, I would fall in love with you all over again, immediately!
Thanks for giving me Christmas in September. Should I ask for more?

Hi Babe:
Want to share a story with you of a man I met with the other day, that in his own way, he has affected me in my life. This is a story about a man in his late 70s who lives alone in a one-bedroom condominium, and whose wife has passed about five years ago. After ringing the doorbell, he opened the door, and I faced an old man with a dingy dirty white T-shirt. My first thought was, this is not going to be a good appointment. I felt this might be one of those situations, that people are not clean, they don't take care of themselves, and you know me, I do not want to be sitting among filth. However, as I walked into the guy’s condominium; he had decent furniture, nice tile floor, and from what I could see, which was the living room, dining area and kitchen, it was fairly decent and not dirty. I sat down at the dining room table to discuss with him about the benefits of a reverse mortgage, as I always do with everybody. After talking to him for almost a half hour, to 45 minutes, I noticed that there was a double picture frame, one of those that fold like a book on the table. It wasn't facing me so I did not notice the pictures in it. But after our discussion about the mortgage was over, the gentleman’s, name is Vincent Ciano, that's when he told me about his wife passing five years earlier. Since that time, he has had very little motivation to live, and to continue on with his life. He showed me the pictures in the frame, and they were easily taken in the 1940s early 50s. He spoke about how much he loved his wife, and what she meant to him. He told me a about their life together before they got married, and about their 63 years of marriage. As part of the conversation I told him that he was very lucky for having had such a wonderful relationship with a woman, his partner, during those years. He told me, that he was blessed for the time that they were together, things they did, places they visited, and yes, even the memories they shared. He mentioned that after her death he had written an article for a publication which was read by a woman who contacted him to give him praise about the article, the style of writing and the way he was able to put thoughts to paper. During the conversation with this woman, he mentioned about his wife, just like he had mentioned it to me, I suppose he talks to anyone and everyone who will listen, so he can keep the memory of his wife fresh and alive. She convinced him to put his thoughts and experiences on paper, which he did. This woman took all this information and made it into a book which she had published for him. He was also asked to put some of his thoughts and experiences from the book on some web site on the Internet. This I'm not sure how it developed but he got many, many responses. Anyway, I told him that his life story, or part of what he told me about it, was very exciting and the thought he was able to put it in writing and turn it into a book was fantastic; and I told him how much I loved the idea of what he did and I told him how lucky he was to have had her in his life for all those years. Then before leaving, I asked him where I could buy a copy of the book, so I could read and feel the love that he shared with his wife. With that, he went to his desk, took out a copy of the book, and proceeded to autograph it for me. I was so touched by this man's story, about his life with his wife, about the love they shared, I promised him I would read the entire book and get back to him. I believe, in the long run he will get the reverse mortgage, but that is of no consequence anymore. I will do whatever I can to help him and then some.
After I left, I went to Dunkin' Donuts to get a cup of coffee and read part of the book. Then, if I tell you I could only get to page six, because my eyes were tearing so much, that I could no longer read. Know that in those six pages, I've only read the dedication of the book of his wife, and some responses that he received to the article that he wrote on that web site I told you about, from complete strangers who read his story and had to respond to him. Later on that evening, I tried to read some more, and again only got through a couple of more pages before I was crying. I was crying, not so much for the story of his life, but for the love that is showing in the words he uses. Somehow, at some point in time, I will get through this book, as I will get through getting him a mortgage, and I hope that in the future years I can keep in touch with Vincent, and perhaps even, God willing, have you meet him. I will also, if you would like, send you the book so you can read it yourself and see just what I’m trying to say in this letter to you.
Babe, throughout our relationship, I have done some crazy things for you, like putting your picture on four credit cards, or putting your picture on a postage stamp, or naming a star after you, and getting you everything and anything that is pink (like a silly thing such as a pink knife) or have so many pictures of you throughout the house or even having your pictures on a video frame on the kitchen counter, or even something new I'm working on which is a video made up of your pictures put to music lyrics. Yet, I hope I get the inspiration in the near future to possibly write one about you, about us, about the times that we were working together, going on vacations, going shopping and even to be able to put in words what you have meant to me in my life, how much I have loved you. Maybe if I put this in writing, maybe after I'm gone you will understand what you meant to me and what we have missed by not being together: it's a shame, it's a shame that we have even missed one day apart. But maybe that's what I will have to do; is follow in Vincent's footsteps and find out how to get something published to leave it for you and your kids and whoever you want, so that everyone can know just how much I love you.
Me.
Oh, I forgot to tell you he has a Dachshund dog. A male, 13 years old. Called Rambo. And they live for each other, now.

Babe:
Thanks for the beautiful card and its message. As you can guess, I made a wish! Can't tell you what it is, because it may not come true, but its a good guess what it could be.
I'm waiting for it to come true!!!!!!! God is with me.
Thanks again, and thank Mike also. I miss you guys.

Hi Babe:
Its Saturday night, and I am bored. So, Im working on a map of Vegas to send to John. In it, its highlighted the different areas and what they are know for, good areas are marked, and bad crime areas are defined. Also, there will be a list of good neighborhoods with each zip code for him to look up individual zip areas on that web site I sent you a few days ago. All he has to do is log onto the web site and enter the zip code he wants to look up, and the available houses or condos will show up.
Please pass this on to him. It will be a couple of days to get everythign ready and I'll mail it to him. And, please, let me know if you got your computer yet.
