SEI. 17, 2006

SEPT. 17, 2006 WAS THE DAY THAT JIMMY CAME HOME FROM PRISON..............AND WE STILL REMEMBER THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE, THAT DAY...............VERY WELL...............

JIMMY WAS ACTUALLY IN A HALF WAY HOUSE ....VOA...IN CAMDEN, NJ.

HE WAS  RELEASED AT 8AM, THAT DAY.  FORTUNALY, WE HAD SOMEONE TO DRIVE HIM HOME.........IT TAKES 1.5 HR.S, TO GET HOME.................IF HE HAD TO RIDE THE BUS, IT WOULD EVEN TAKE LONGER.

NOW, ALL YOU PRISONN WIVES, LISTEN TO  ME......

THE PRISON SYSTEM MAKES IT VERY HARD ON EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED............

ALL PRISONERS HAVE TO REPORT THAT SAME DAY TO THE PAROLE OFFICE IN A DISTANT CITY...........

SO.  JIMMY GOT HOME AROUND 10 AM............WE ASKED THE PERSON TO PLEASE DRIVE US TO THE NEARBY CAR RENTAL PLACE...........WE GOT THERE, AND WHAT A HASSEL!.....THEY WPOLD NOT ALLOW US TO RENT A CAR, BECAUSE I DID NOTHAVE A JERSY LICENSE............I OMLY HAD A NEVADA LICEMSE, AND JIMMY JERSEY LICENSE WAS EXPIRD...........WE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE OUR JAGUAR, SINCE THE PLATES WERE STILL NEVADA PLATES..........AND TRUTHFULLY I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF MY EYESIGHT......................

WHAT WERE WE TO DO!

WE HAD TO GO TO RED BANK, NJ...........WHICH IS AROUND 40 MINUTES AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVE!.................and, it had to be today!

WE WENT HOME AND ASKED SEVERAL NEIGHBORS..............A MAN HAS A CAR DIVER SERVICE.................EVERUONE LET US DOWN.

I CALLED JIMMY'S FATHER AND MY SISTER...........NO.THEY COUNDN'T DO IT...........

then my aunt who lives nearby, called me to see HOW I WAS DOING...............WHAT A BLESSING!

A FEW MINUTES LATER SHE WAS AT OUR DOOR, IN HER BEAUATIFUL WHITE LINCOLN, WITH HER BOYFRIEND DRIVING, AND HER LITTLE DOG...A MALTESE...MIMI.......AT HE SIDE.

THEY TOOK US TO RED BANK, AND HAD TO WAIT OVER  2 HOURS,AT THE PARLE OFFICE................WE WERE SO THANKFUL...

JIMMY TOLD ME, IN THE PAROLE OFFICE, SOMEone  MUTTERED, "OH, HE FINALLY GOT HERE."..............he said nothing....(JIMMY ALWAYS LEARNED TO SAY NOTHING)

AS U CAN SEE, IT WAS STRESSFUL ALL ALONG THE WAY........WE ARE HAPPY THAT WE ARE 2 YEARS INTO THIS, AND ONLY AROUND 10

MONTHS To GO!

A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT, JIMMY'S PAROLE OFFICER SHOWED UP AT THE HOUSE, ALONG WITH ANOTHER MALE OFFICER..............EVERYTHING WAS OK.........THEY LOOK ALL AROUND.............EVERTHING WAS NEAT AND TIDY.........SEVERal WEEKS LATER, JIMMY'S CURRENT PAROLE OFFICER SHOWED UP AND WOULD APPEAR EVERY 2 WEEKS OR SO.

ONCE YOUR HUSBAND GETS A JOB, THEY STRETCH IT OUT TO EVERY MONTH....THEN 2 AND 3 MONTHS TO REPORT TO PAROLE....

YES, THAT FIRST DAY, AND THE DAYS FOLLOWING, WERE VERY STRESSFUL////////////

BYE FOR NOW............TIME TO SPOON!

................love, fran

 

CRYSTAL AND PRINCE

JIMMY TOOK BOTH DOGS FOR A REAL LONG, AROUND OUR COMPLEX THIS MORNING......................HE HELD PRINCE ON HIS RIGHT ARM, AND CRYSTAL ON HIS LEFT...................BOTH JUST LOVED IT!..(WE LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY, AND THE COMPLEX IS ON A CIRCLE)

THE ONLY THING IS THAT PRINCE LOVES TO SMELL EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY, AND CRYSTAL JUST LOVES TO KEEP RUNNING, AT A FAST PACE!

CAN YOU JUST PICTURE THIS LITTLE 10 LB. DOG, A WHITE MALTESE, AND PRINCE A 60 LB. OR MORE, BLACK LAB COLLIE!................SO CUTE...................AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!

WHEN I WAS A CHILD , I LOVED "NANCY DREW BOOKS.".  I READ JUST ABOUT EVERY BOOK, AND COLLECTED THEM ALL.  I STARTED WHEN I WAS AROUND 7 YEARS OLD, READING THEM.......... HOWVER, THOUGH THE YEARS THEY JUST ABOUT ALL DISAPPEARED, EXCEPT FOR A FEW.

NOW,MY LATEST HOBBY IS COLLECTING ALL THE ORIGINAL BOOKS...............THE BOOKS DATE BACK TO THE 1930'S............THERE ARE 52 ORIGINALS.................SO I GO ON EBAY, AND MAKE A BID.............SO FAR WE HAVE 25 OR MORE OF THE ORIGINALS..............IT IS A LOT OF FUN, AND JIMMY HELPS ME TO BID FOR THEM!.

WELL, BYE FOR NOW!

............................................FRAN AND JIMMY

CRUSTAL RUNS ABOUT

I AM SITTING BY THE COMPUTER, AND CRYSTAL IS RUNNING ABOUT THE HOUSE.................SHE RUNS TO ME AND LOOKS AT ME, AND THEN RUBS TROUGHOUT THE HOUSE!..............SHE IS SO CUTE!

MISTY, THE CAT, IS ON THE BED, AND LIKES ME TO PET HER...........JIMBO, THE OTHER CAT, IS IN THE KITCHEN, LOOKING FOR FOOD, AS USUAL.............THAT IS HIS MAIN POST, AS HE ALWAYS LIKES TO LOOK FOR FOOD!...........AND OUR BEAUTIFUL DOG PRINCE IS UNDER THE BED, ON JIMMY'/S SIDE, WHICH IS HIS FAVORITE SPOT!.........AS YOU ALL KNOW, PRINCE WAS WITH ME THROUGH THE 3.5  YEARS OF JIMMY'S INCARCERATION, AND HE PROTECETED ME EVER MINUTE OF EVERYDAY.........EVEN NOW, EVERYTIME SOMEONE PASSES BY, HE IS UP AT THE WINDOW AND BARKING.....JIMMY WALKS PRINCE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.................AND ALL THE DOGS ARE PRINCES FRIENDS......THIS MORNING HE MET "MARIA," his girlfriend dog, whom he just loves!...JIMMY ALSO PUTS PRINCE ON A TETHER OUTSIDE, AND HE JUST LOVES IT!  (for short periods of time)...........PRINCE IS AN 11 YEAR OLD LAB-BORDIE COLLIE,,,,,,,,,,BLACK, AND WE HAVE HIM SINCE HE WAS 3 MONTHS OLD............HE WAS ALSO AN ABUSED DOG, SO IT TOOK A LOT OF PATIENCE AND LOVE........................NOW, HE IS THE GREATEST, AND JUST LOVES HIS LITTLE SISTER, CRYSTAL.

MAYBE LATER JIMMY WILL BE ABLE TO PUT SOME PIX IN HERE.

BYE FOR NOW!....................FRAN AND JIMMY

2 YEARS HOME

HI EVERYONE!

SEPT. 18, 2008 WILL BE 2 YEARS THAT JIMMY IS HOME.  AS U ALL KNOW, JIMMY SPENT 3.5 YEARS IN PRISON.........AND GUESS WHAT!  ONLY 10 MORE MONTHS TO GO, AND HE WILL DONE WITH PAROLE!!!!

WE HAVE A VERY NICE PAROLE OFFICER.........SHE VISITS OUR HOUSE WHENEVER SHE WANTS..............AND SHE LOVES OUR DOGS AND CATS!

ALSO JIMMY REPORTS TO PAROLE EVERY 2- 3 MONTHS.  ACTUALLY, WE CAN;T WAIT TILL IT'S ALL OVER!.........BUT BEING POSITIVE PEOPLE, WE DON'T LET IT GET IN THE WAY OF LIFE..........WE DO THINGS, AND GO PLACES!

WE ENJOY GOING OUT TO EAT, GOING TO THE OCEAN AND TO 6 FLAGS...........THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND BOARDWALK IS ON LY AROUND 10 MILES AWAY!

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE SLOWLY  PLANNING OUR RETURN TO LAS VEGAS...........AFTER PAROLE IS A;; OVER, THAT IS.

NOW, WOMEN OUT THERE, REALIZE THAT ONCE YOUR HUSBAND COMES HOME FROM PRISON, IT IS MANDATORY THAT HE WORK..................A LOT OF JOBS DON'T WANT A FELON............IT IS ALWAYS PART OF THE APPLICATION......BUT PLEASE, DON'T WORRY.........THERE ARE PLENTY OF JOBS OUT THERE..........help your husband to be creative in looking for jobs1

JIMMY AND I CURRENTLY OWN 38 GUMBALL MACHINES.  THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ..........TOGETHER WE GO AND REFILL THEM............IT IS SO MUCH FUN!.........WE DO THIS FOR "THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION OF THE BLIND.".........AS YOU ALL KNOW, I AM LEGALLY BLIND, AND CARRY A WHITE WALKING STICK.

JIMMY AND I STILL SPOON IN BED EVERY NIGHT!.....AND AS KELLY, IN "REGIS AND KELLY," SAID, "SPOONING IN BED LEADS TO FORKING!"

NOW I HAVE SOME VERY GOOD NEWES TO TELL YOU!

3 WEEKS AGO, WE GOT A NEW LITTLE DOG.............SHE IS A 4 YEAR OLD MALTESE..........ALL WHITE AND SO BEAUTIFUL!........HER NAME IS CRYSTAL!...............SHE IS A RESCUED DOG..................THIS DOG WAS FOUND IN THE CITY OF ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY, TIED TO A POLE IN THE CITY...........ALL MATTED AND STARVING...........SHE AS AN ABUSED DOG..............HOW THEY EVER DID THIS TO HER, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.............

ODDLY ENOUGH THE RESCUERS NAMED HER CRYSTAL....MY SCREEN NAME.

WE WENT TO PETCO, BECAUSE WE WANTED A LITTLE DOG, AS A FRIEND FOR PRINCE OUR 60 LB. BLACK LAB-COLLIE..........

THE TENTS WERE THERE WITH ALL THESE DOGS FOR ADOPTION..............................AS SOON AS WE SAW HER, AND HER NAME WAS CRYSTAL..........I SAID, "THAT'S THE ONE!"

WE TOOK HER HOME AND MADE HER A PART OF OUR FAMILY.............

CRYSTAL SUDDENLY DID THINGS THAT SHE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE!

SHE RUNS THRU THE HOUSE..............SHE EATS FOOD.........SHE HAS PLENTY OF TOYS, AND PRINCE JUST LOVES HER.............MISTY AND JIMBO JUST LOVE HER TOO, AND ALL 4 PLAY TOGETHER...PRINCE IS VERY PROTECTIVE TOWARDS HER.

CRYSTAL IS ONLY 10 LBS...........WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!........WE PET HER......... WE KISS HER....WE GIVE HER SO MUCH LOVE!

SHE DOES HAVE ALOT OF EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS NECAUSE SHE WAS ABUSED............BUT GRADUALLY WE ARE WORKING THAT, AND SHE ISGETTING BETTER EVERYDAY!...........SHE JUST LOVES OUR HAPPY HOME!

BYE FOR NOW!..................FRAN AND JIMMY
