To: Mom & Dad, Rodrigo & Jovanni; Ismael, Ish Jr. & Meghan; Steve; Abel, Delia, Josiah, Caleb & Jared; Sergio; Suzie, Chuck, Zaq & Ani; and Tonie


From: Your daughter, sister (in-law) and Tia Mia or Lucy Lowry


I am excited to give this gift to our family this Christmas. I had been wanting to gift this to you two Christmases ago, but I did not have it together. I still have tons to add to it and this is where ALL of you come in with this gift. It is meant to be the gift that keep on giving.

Ok, so I have more to say about this blog; so, please read on and if I repeat myself I apologize. I feel really awful and can't really think straight right now. Getting use to the local germs are a killer and I am currently under attack. Normally, I would review this post, but to be perfectly honest, I just don't feel like it right now. So, I know there will be mistakes in this blog.

All of you have data/memories stored in your minds of events, history, etc... pertaining to our family's history that I do not have. I would like you to send me an e-mail and I will happily add it to the blog. You can leave it as a comment, but then it won't show up on the sidebar under 'posts' and I would hate for your contributions to not be part of the main blog. I would like the comment sections of the posts to be for additional insights on a particular 'post'/story. You know, like if I said it was so-and-so sister who did something when it was so-and-so brother. Know what I mean??

I do hope you like this idea and enjoy reading what I rushed to put together. Please forgive the type-os, but PLEASE let me know about them and I will correct it. I want to eventually add ALL of the family pictures Mom has, Tonie, Suzie, or anyone else has onto this blog. If you can help by scanning them since I am no longer in Arizona then send it via e-mail or disk would be better. I would really appreciate it! Then we will all have access to her pictures to enjoy them whenever we desire to view them. :)

I want our blog to be as factual as possible and it is not meant to embarrass, hurt or cause any negative feelings. This is not only for us, but for Mom and Dad's (great)grandchildren. They will not have the opportunity to know Dad or anyone else who will die before they are born. This is meant to preserve their stories, their history for all of us to enjoy.

So, my hope and desire is that ALL of Francisco and Lucia's children will contribute (and yes, this means grandchildren too!)to this blog with their stories. All it takes is at least 5 minutes or so to write a story you remember about anyone in the family. It can be short, long or however you want to have it be shown on the blog. Just please contribute to it.

I love you and really miss you all. I wish I could see your faces when you see this, but then again, you might hate this idea and if it's the case then I am glad I won't see your faces. hahahahaaa

Oh, one more thing....this blog is private. You can only see it if I let you. So, I have to give you permission.

Merry Christmas!
