Good Place for sure!<br />
<br />
Some of the best lessons in life I've learned have come from working hard on something. I mean anything. There seems to be something magical about "the process" of achievement. Sometimes, even the shortfall of achievement has been a learning experience and was to my benefit. Those powerful lesson are never forgotten, always rather sacred, always rather special, and always rather unique to our own progress of sorts. They are the defining times of my life. Sigmund Freud once said "One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful"<br />
<br />
Recently, I've had the occasion to help a nice man with some life decisions. Even though he asked me for help and advice, my advice and counsel was not taken and actually, it was offensive to this person. I struggled with this for an entire day until I got the feeling "Hey Holmes, this isn't on you at all!" Sometimes, we're not ready to hear, willing to change, willing to pay the price, willing to sacrifice, willing to humble ourselves, willing to trust, willing to accept, willing to admit to ourselves that we're wrong, or willing to welcome a change. I'm certain that we've all been there.<br />
<br />
I remember one particular hot summer afternoon when I was out selling door to door back in the late 1980's. I remember working a road that flanked the Snake River here, north in Idaho Falls, where many nice homes existed. I remember that period because it was very hot and uncomfortable, I hadn't made many sales that particular month, I was working among a bunch of successful folks in this neighborhood and maybe having a bit of a pity party for myself. No one was wanting a demo of my product, a product I'd sold for many years up to that point. I remember knocking on the door of a fella who owned a successful business here in town. He looked at me with discerning eyes and asked me if I'd like a soft drink. I accepted one, which I rarely ever did as I was always rather careful about hitting my numbers (door knocks and demos) because they always equaled results.He'd asked me how sales were going. For some strange reason, I responded with the truth and opened up to him. He was after all, in the "selling" business. I told him that I'd had better months. He asked about my family, and a few questions in general. He was feeling me out. He then asked me if I'd do anything for money. I told him as long as it was legal, but that I was happy doing what I do too, just not that particular day. He then asked me if I'd weed his garden for 25 bucks. It wasn't a particularly big garden and $25 back then was a nice sum for a hungry family. I looked him in the eye and told him I'd do it. He left me alone for about 30 to 40 minutes while I weeded a garden in dress slacks and nice shoes and shirt. I was sweating but I was so mad at my situation, mad at the Lord for not extending his hand out to me, mad at myself. All of this seemed to melt away as I got closer to the end. My mindset started to change. I was grateful for the gift I was given of having a drive to succeed on my wits. I began to understand that the Lord was there with me all along. It was me and a particularly bitter attitude that was hindering me. This gentleman stopped me before I was done, sat me on his porch with another soft drink and told me words I'd never forgotten to this day. "You're going to be successful!" "This slump will pass and so will all the others you'll have" "You showed me that you were willing to work, willing to do anything for your family if necessary."" You're going to be just fine!"<br />
<br />
Nearly 30 years later, I am fine. I'm blessed with an abundance, and I'm surrounded by a loving family, beautiful, dear and wonderful friends, and countless other blessings. Everyday, I begin each day on my knees with gratitude for all I've been entrusted with. For all the little things and for even the down times. And, hey, those times do season with age and become beautiful. Never give up, Keep on doing just a little more each day. I don't achieve success everyday, but I do strive for it every day, just a little more, just a little more. It's days like today that make me realize, that my reservoir is full. What a blessing.<br />

I never forgot those words. I truly believed them. I went on to have a decent month in sales and I never looked back at the failures I'd experienced. I trusted myself, I trusted the Lord,</div>

My sister Karen and her family left earlier this morning. It's unbelievably quiet in our home now and we're almost feeling like we're missing someone. Well, we already miss Marissa and Tom and they just left. I think most of us that are parents understand the feelings we may be feeling right now. We're so grateful for our family and all the fun they made here in our home. We love you tremendously and want the best for all of you. <br />
<br />
I'm grateful for the traditions we have already started to develop and that each and every child of ours contributes to the good feelings and the care for eachother. It's fun to sit back and watch these grownups do their thing. I do have to say, the schedule was packed. There was no wiggle room. Christmas programs, caroling, present exchanges, meals that were huge and in general, just family time at it's fullest was the order of the week.<br />
<br />
I guess I just wanted to say We Love You All and Thanks for a great holiday week. I'll let the slideshow say it all.<br />

We started with a visit to family in Richfield Utah and continued on through to Kanab, to Page AZ, then on to Cortez Colorado. We hit Mesa Verde National Park the next day and drove on from there to Colorado Springs where we spent the next few days with the most beautiful twins in the world. We loved every minute of our trip until we headed home and through Wyoming once again, slide offs and blowing winds and snow.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a beautiful drive, saw the most unique and beautiful redlands, the movie set from the Outlaw Josie Wales in Kanab, Glen Canyon dam in Page, and the drive through the Navajo country was spectacular. The best way to view america is on a two laned highway. forget the interstates.<br />
<br />
The Denver Aquarium is an excellent place to go if you want a great aquarium experience. The Rykenzies loved it and Dave & Steph are the best little parents ever. <br />

I traveled alone because Annette was in school teaching and is saving her days for our trip to Colorado Springs to visit Davey and Stephie and the RyKenzies. It was a fact finding trip and a trip that helped to understand human behavior and how we, as the people we are, deal with consequences. What I learned wasn't harmful or mean, it was just revealing and helped me to understand those I love and admire.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

He shared with me how we in this life because of our choices, are always dealing with consequences.From start to finish, we make choices and then we deal with the consequence from that decision whether it is a good, bad or indifferent decision. Anyway, it was a time for me to plan and reflect upon my life and goals that I am working on as well as my business plan too, which is really nothing more than a goal or set of goals to accomplish for the year.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I woke up to a beautiful morning where I awoke and saw Troy off to seminary, Kevin heading to work and Karen got ready putting on her War Paint for the day. it was fun. After they left i took an hour plus walk/hike along the little buttes around North Edwards. I saw coyote, bobcat, and quail tracks. I also saw quail too. Then I traveled in to Lancaster to see my folks. They are so funny in that their schedules are so mixed up and are so unorganized. They seem to do everything rather last minute or in a fashion that is opposite to the way I'd do given the same choices. Anyway, it was a fun day with them and spending the glorious time together. We topped it off with a meal in Victorville at the Marie Calendars. Everyone was there except for my brother. We had a real good time.</div><br />
The next day was spent with the Old Fuzz band in Tehachapi. Martin came up from Woodland Hills and we traveled together to Steve and Ellens home where we met up with Steve and the very frail Dale. it seems as though life has dealt him some serious business. But, even with all the challenges he faces, he stayed a full 8 plus hours to record 4 songs together. There will be a link to see at least one of themm. It was fun and the feelings shared where ones never to forget.<br />

You can see all the Youtube videos of us if you type in HEPLAR in the search. it should populate all of our videos.<br />

The above picture was back in 1995. Ever since she was a little girl, she was always dressed to the hilt. Annette always made the best clothes (all homemade) for our girls. Marissa was always the ham and loved showing off.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />She was also always my bright spot in life. I don't want anyone to think that she was my favorite at all. Many think that and it's not true. I will say, Marissa and her dad communicated well. We were always on the same page. Unless I was never given "The Book" so to speak! ha ha ha.. We only disagreed on a few of the boys she dated and maybe about a few teenage things. I took care of the first boy that asked her our with a pair of Bull Balls that my friend Scott Bowman had taken from a bull turned steer. I would place these testicles on the table and ask if he ( the boy) knew what they were. I waited for their response while Marissa would cry out "MOM...He's talking to my date!!!! I used those balls to intimidate boys by telling them that if their's were bigger, they would be welcome to try to do something wrong to her. If their balls were smaller, then we were going to have a nut brunch and they were hosting! Marissa hated me for doing that! I'm not sure the boy ever came back for a second date. The two gate keepers were Tony and myself. Somehow, the balls dissappeared by the time the second boy came around.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Tommorrow my baby girl turns 25. She is an absolutely beautiful girl and fun to be around. I love her very much and I wish her a happy birthday tommorrow and I'm happy that her and Tom are getting married this month! I'm sure Marissa will have a wonderful family. I'm seeing boys. More than one. Heaven forbid there should be a girl in her family!!! That would be competition! ha ha ha

I enjoyed our family vacations to Virginia City Nevada or even to Knotts Berry Farm which had a sort of Pioneer feel to it. Even traveling to El Paso Texas with my Aunt on the train traveling across New Mexico and Arizona via the train was enchanting in my mind. I would envision wagon trains and individual riders and basically anything that resembled somthing I saw in the old west movies of the day.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWR2fw7ndUSgqnjyixDUp3SEEbkgSCX19Tfin_-34bS90anDcumRYV_gmA4zSARMI7klksGadLcElymUNJYbCzw3bRdM4kTkag7H8EX1ON3cNM5zFD7w1EG8g3HfcAL7WGGsTZ70lCKLE/s1600/Mountain+River+Ranch+%2332.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487241333823496530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWR2fw7ndUSgqnjyixDUp3SEEbkgSCX19Tfin_-34bS90anDcumRYV_gmA4zSARMI7klksGadLcElymUNJYbCzw3bRdM4kTkag7H8EX1ON3cNM5zFD7w1EG8g3HfcAL7WGGsTZ70lCKLE/s320/Mountain+River+Ranch+%2332.JPG" /></a><br />The terrain across much of the West is so very picturesque that it was easy for me to imagine ( as I did a lot as a kid).<br /><br />As I grew older, my travels with my dad to Fallon Nevada from Lancaster California had us crossing old pioneer trails and old outlaw laden country ( in my mind). i grew to love the Old West and was grateful to live in the place where it all really happened. Life in Fallon was at least 50 to 100 years behind life in L.A. County and i welcomed it. Thanks to my dad to help me be able to let my mind just wander in my youthful daydreams.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLOog1_zjq_I6khIZdwhNOBkZbIYb0UcBynYja-R_mL7apaikcNMeqr4fBfWvZ7TiOH_jncOAfHSdaVFKlAuR_3x6mj8FYl4s_-nIRLvS8Wy9t85u4SYB3m8iaCqzMm7Dsmkz3fcGDCx0/s1600/Mountain+River+Ranch+%2316.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487241813884064050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLOog1_zjq_I6khIZdwhNOBkZbIYb0UcBynYja-R_mL7apaikcNMeqr4fBfWvZ7TiOH_jncOAfHSdaVFKlAuR_3x6mj8FYl4s_-nIRLvS8Wy9t85u4SYB3m8iaCqzMm7Dsmkz3fcGDCx0/s320/Mountain+River+Ranch+%2316.JPG" /></a> Anyway, that still continues to this day. I enjoy going to Lagoon to the Pioneer Village and anything where there is a Pioneer theme. Today we went to Mountain River Ranch and enjoyed the company of Critter & Ellory. Ell loves horses and wagon rides. Critter deplores it but Ell and I have a common thread. We love outdoorsy stuff and live for it.Ralph Perezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17343820795872599457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581653398378833753.post-57925163510214393712010-04-24T09:57:00.010-06:002010-04-24T10:58:34.537-06:00Thoughts on April 18th 2010, but a week late<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXvE9gX5XQKiF6xoVIdJTXx8T-7xV7rrNf1zuEF_ZuUmubNtA3MyVkhe9T_cqbGbX4eaygT58SkQRXixez72TpvYYrXbU1xPWIphqqh-N-hMySXzJ2ld7c3k9Ra8rF5zLmBbw6BHnSN4/s1600/22.+Hwy+101+Otter+Crest+Ocean.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463745298421997266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXvE9gX5XQKiF6xoVIdJTXx8T-7xV7rrNf1zuEF_ZuUmubNtA3MyVkhe9T_cqbGbX4eaygT58SkQRXixez72TpvYYrXbU1xPWIphqqh-N-hMySXzJ2ld7c3k9Ra8rF5zLmBbw6BHnSN4/s320/22.+Hwy+101+Otter+Crest+Ocean.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">So, in the year 1980, the month of April, and the day 18, a beautiful girl of 20 years from Utah and a boy from the California desert were married in Manti Utah in one of the most beautiful LDS Temples that has ever been built.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Over the years we experienced joy in so many ways and heartaches in so many ways too. We've loved each other, been really mad at each other, wanted to SHOOT each other, told each other to go to (someplace really hot!), held eachother through difficult times, held each other when loved ones past on. We've made common goals with each other for our family and ourselves both collectively and independently (albeit, many times we took different routes getting there), stood behind our children when tough choices needed to be made, shared with non family members perhaps when we really didn't have that asset or commodity to share. I could go on for hours and tell stories for days. That part I'll leave in a book that I have been writing from time to time called "My Life History". I'm certain ,my kids won't care about it but perhaps my grandkids will find something of value in it at the time that they elect to read it.</span><br /></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 323px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463742154906054786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw1CtAglS9L808DmqcB0FhtSABeXc2xE93RLquEvKiq1CxL3hv2a9KT1a6nBn9ho7ZgeO0a05n0DTAyoR8TtUc9J0yOem8-jGGJKHPDbGixb02bY0p0js0x-4IvYcGAvbIgyWkmLEkWLM/s320/f.+Hwy20+Oregon+between+Harper+%26+Juntura+%233.JPG" /> <span style="font-size:130%;">Anyway, back to Annette and Ralph. We spent our 30 year anniversary here at home, me doing domestic chores and Annette suffering with strep throat. Not the glorious 30 year anniversary I had anticipated so many years ago. We did celebrate an evening out to the movies with Ellory and Critter by going to see Oceans, a Disney Nature movie last night, a week later. Will we celebrate another day?

It also got me to thinking of each of our children and how they are doing, surviving, coping, struggling, dealing with life, and how they each are doing emotionally. In fact, the week has been filled with emotions for me that have ranged from panic for some of my children to a state of peace in my mind for the others.</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">I've wondered how each deals with their very own life challenges. I think the most interesting part is how each of them responds so differently to their own situations and circumstances. For one, there is peace in putting one foot in front of the other. For another, there is loneliness and an unsettling feeling of being family-less for the present. For another it's dealing with a world of less than honest people causing huge personal necessity of going without. For another it's working through huge emotional stress and committments mainly imposed by that very same person on that persons own self. For another it's the perfection and absolute accuracy and attention to detail that consumes that persons time and energy perhaps for a population that may or may not even care if that person is doing his or her best. Interestingly enough, each of you could say to yourself that I'm defining you in each of those observations. Maybe I am.</span></em></strong><br /><br /></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Well, as a parent, I wish I could take all of your pain and struggles away and carry them for you. I've got broad shoulders that the Lord blessed me with and I'm no stanger to the cruelty of life and it's stress and I would do that for you. Unfortunately, we all know that it doesn't work that way. Each of us must rise to the occasion and just do it ourselves. The only thing we as parents can do is at times, provide a bridge to get you there. But you alone must walk the path and come out on top. Good thing we have a Savior huh?</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">My hope is that each of these loved ones always and I mean always never forget who you are, where you came from and where you are going. I love all of you so very much and I pray for you daily. I pray harder now than I ever have in the past! So does your mom. This is good. I'm certain my folks prayed for me too. At least I hope they did!</span></em></strong><br /><br /></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Keep making good choices family. For those of you who are struggling with sin. Move away from it. It never makes you feel good in the long run. Short runs, maybe but the cost of that short gratification carries with it an enormous price to pay for the rest of your life. You can either pay it yourself or let the Savior pay it for you. By the way, he already has. He's just waiting for you to give him permission to pay for it. Don't be fooled into thinking that you're too far gone! It's a LIE! The worth of souls is Great. Don't forget that.</span></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong> </div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">I love you all!</span></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong> </div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Papa Ralph</span></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382927385621010338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3TsLauqVBrmzF6L_EYBfNbeTAmyPCc9Jj55iBVKRyljdTcDIXsZ24byTxgImm_RW4bN329i0Uw85a5Qft8O1li3tJIr3vXnvGvLjk_8HlJYnGuYh-Qy5ZkT5iF9YSlrnA3xTXIQxvFM/s320/Family+003.jpg" border="0" /></span></em></strong></div></div>Ralph Perezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17343820795872599457noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581653398378833753.post-18805939308168966422009-09-07T07:30:00.014-06:002009-09-07T08:18:42.524-06:00Labor day Fun with Tony and Julie's Fam 9-5-6-2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rqWTf-qCk3H_mik2jdS669LZ2Wj8EDBNcT-hqOI9uMIkXnIsJnU3ZgXIVPXpB_Bn3J_QWr6fuvLGXyE7ndHePes161Az-RTSicBCV7J5AKoEiYfg8aSf__RSk4wb0My6tO_q30YiVw8/s1600-h/Labor+Day+Breakfasst++with+Tony%27s+Fam+%231.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378722508630491378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rqWTf-qCk3H_mik2jdS669LZ2Wj8EDBNcT-hqOI9uMIkXnIsJnU3ZgXIVPXpB_Bn3J_QWr6fuvLGXyE7ndHePes161Az-RTSicBCV7J5AKoEiYfg8aSf__RSk4wb0My6tO_q30YiVw8/s320/Labor+Day+Breakfasst++with+Tony%27s+Fam+%231.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><em>Tony and Jewels asked if we would come up and play with them and their family on the Labor day weekend.

Work is still quiet, relatively speaking), life is good and our biggest news is that i've been called to be 1st counselor in the Young Single Adults Branch of our stake. I made the mistake of going fishing with my good friend Deano (second counselor in the Stake Presidency) and mentioned to him that the best kept secret in the church is teaching Sunday School and how there are no early morning Priethood Leadership , nor Auxillary meetings to go too. Well, that was a mistake. After a mere two weeks, I got called. It's cool though. I'm serving with my good friend s Lamont Hanson Pres. and Roger Harshbarger 2nd counselor. We will have fun for sure. I know most of the kids from when I was their Stake Young Mens President and or the High Council talk assignments.<br /><br /><div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341015878001128466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhhO0nGi_FfJiSl_rzl-4Yc7ja266g1mtdXYxaGq4qrOZI8ZBLOL2ijNpKvtZHRTlQ79DPROMuVEqB33y77uR1EjxG3PaaAYvxBo2FAQ1CKTMvSfv0fX5MsNYXWNDaI-l219OOgAZRBg/s320/100_0748.JPG" border="0" /> Also, we had fun working around the house on Memorial day weekend.

She would never admit to it but she missed them so very much. She spent most of the time by herself just moping around quietly and out of everyones way. Kinda cool to see an emotional little girl again. Anyway, she was in the upstairs bathroom taking a 2 hour soak and I came in from outside and spoke to her through the door. I yelled out to her "<strong><em>Hali! Who loves ya?"</em></strong> She responded, "<strong><em>You do</em></strong> <strong><em>Gramps"</em></strong> rather discouragingly. I asked her again "<strong><em>Who else?"</em></strong> She responded <strong><em>"Grandma!"</em></strong> I added, well i think everyone loves you. She proceeded to tell me about a girl at school who hated her and turned many of her friends away from her. ( I think she was just down and needed to vent!) I said to her <strong><em>" She really doesn't hate you Hales!"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzbFIjIWLpe0HQsyJX0nIf2-6M7ueIdaZUKz4bRCWm1C4d0hO7Tx3kNPpB7rGv4D1WNzwhL32eZTizHq7_cC1Ln-c-jgVhzsaJbQqCaSIUniOkPibQ9Hb35td_X41PKgulo0IzCUZU0Q/s1600-h/100_0770.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341017687447603218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzbFIjIWLpe0HQsyJX0nIf2-6M7ueIdaZUKz4bRCWm1C4d0hO7Tx3kNPpB7rGv4D1WNzwhL32eZTizHq7_cC1Ln-c-jgVhzsaJbQqCaSIUniOkPibQ9Hb35td_X41PKgulo0IzCUZU0Q/s320/100_0770.JPG" border="0" /></a></em></strong> She responded that she was sure she did in her best Eyore tone. I responded by reccomendeing to her <strong><em>" Well, tell her</em></strong> <strong><em>to go to Hell!" (Grandma did not approve)</em></strong> Hali just started laughing her loud deep from the bottom of her belly laugh and she had me laughing. She thought that was funny and then she quickly said to me, "<strong><em>Hey Gramps, you owe me a buck" "I almost forgot because I was</em></strong> <strong><em>laughing so hard"</em></strong> Ya see, everytime I cuss, I owe her a buck.
