Hi Lora,
Wow you are an amazing lady and an amazing mommy too. I love reading your blog and seeing Griffin's beautiful face. 11,000 miles whoa!

K.C.'s mommy,
Tina

That was really neat. I can't believe you like Brussel spouts though - I thought they were just a necessary evil in this world ;)

I'd say..."Holy cow, youlike Brussell sprouts?", but that would be coming from a person who liked lima beans. Thanks for playing!!! What an interesting life you lead. When I retire to Montana (in many many many many many years) we'll get horses and meet in the middle (is there a middle?).

Hi Lora

Brussell Sprouts EWWWWW. Broccoli is about the only vege close to that family i will eat.

Okay, now lemme get this straight. You were a brussel sprout-eating undercover ballroom dance instructor for the FBI? :) (This from a Brussel sprout-hating, two-left-footed klutz who can't even make the FBI's Ten LEAST Wanted list.) And our word verification is ijbxx, the dumber cousin of the ibyx.

About Me

My Photo
I am the mother to the most amazing child whose name is Griffin Blaise and he was born Jan. 31,2002. He is named after the mythological creature,the griffin which was half eagle and half lion. Griffins were in Greek mythology considered to be a symbol of integrity and protection,and are said to protect hidden treasures. His middle name, Blaise, is an ancient Celtic name for fire. Griffin is half Samoan but his dad has been absent since he was born. We live in North Carolina presently but I lived in Alaska for 18 years, that's where Griffin was born. I am a former exotic dancer, I worked for the FBI undercover, I have been a ballroom dance instructor, and have worked on a commercial salmon fishing vessel. I hope that you find this blog delightful, informative, humorous, and perhaps at times a tear jerker. Share in our joy and pain as you read the chronicles of the life and times of Griffin Blaise and Lora.
