was assassinated, Nov. 1963. The reason we know, is that
my husband Stew's Uncle Gene Way built the
house, as he was a contractor in Clearlake at the time. He built
the home for Edward Robey Sr. and his
wife, Evelyn (both deceased). They are the parents of
locals Ed Robey II, and his brothers
Larry and Dennis Arnold Robey. Now, of course, I knew
the entire Robey family in the early 70's when I
was married to my twin's father,Warren,
as Ed Robey Sr. and his wife were his Godparents.
I used to VISIT this house in the 70's. The Robey's, for many years,
were best friends with Warren's parents, Warren
& Dale Keeney and also had many a cocktail
party at the jeweler's house (Gordon Ness and his wife Muriel).
Gordon's son, Kevin, now owns & operates the jewelry store which
has been there since the 40's.
the Keeneys were in the real estate business together here in Clearlake.

Its Sallina & Darin's update on December 30,2005.
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR & WE WISH GOOD
HEALTH,HAPPINESS AND FUN TO
ALL!
Not anything specific really.
Perhaps to eat healthier & smaller portions and be more
consistent with
exercise. Dropping a few lbs would
be a bonus!!
The year has been pretty good overall for us. No real
drama or bad news,
thank God.
a typical hard working family.....working to pay bills, planning
retirement, investing when we can and
squeezing
in fun on weekends & yearly vacation when
we can! Life can get somewhat
mondane at times, but it is
ultimatley up to us to create our entertainment
the
best we can to avoid boredom! It can be a
challenge, but nothing comes
easy i've realized
thats worth anything of value.
We are thankful we have a nice home, jobs,
healthy family, friends and so
far our health
is good. So, in the long run, it would
appear we have it
all!!!!!!!! maybe we do!!
We have talked alot about
retirement in Hawaii the next 5-7 years and hopefully we will
make it happen! We have realized that perhaps we chat a bit to much about the
future and need to focus more on today and enjoy now.
If
all works to plan, we should be ready
to semi-retire in hawaii,
year 2012.
together if we so desire.
Darin may dabble
in something p/t to keep busy. As for me,
i will be a lady
of leisure and do
whatever i want......lounge,read,
walks on beach,
kayak,hobby,
maybe even learn to cook better & try recipes.
I bake tasty
bran/banana muffins!
auto mechanics school and
is still
plugging away towards his goal. He has 12
more months till
graduation for his AS certified
degree in auto mechanics and then
hopes to
persue the extended 3-4 month course
to get his smog certificate thru the
state. I am truly proud of his turn around,
despite all is past challenges.
His committment
to finish school is the best choice he
has ever made for
himself and his future!
We all smile and cheer him on!
awaken and say it's time
to make something
of himself!! I pray everyday he continues
his goals and
persues whatever he
wants to accomplish! He is still with the same
girlfriend Natalia, now 1-1/2 yrs.
Is she the one? who knows?
We do have a 4-5
day cruise planned the end
of April to L.A., san diego, ensanada and Catalina Island.
We might drive to Oregon near mom's 2nd home by the
beach in July to visit
the area
enjoy the surrounding tourist stops.
Or we may try to
save enough $ for a weeks vacation
sometime in September in Hawaii(Kauai)
will just go day by day and whatever
happens , happens.
until our next family update in the summer time
...........best wishes,
......3 years married this next July

Mike has a job at a local car

of education is much better
than California schools.

A poem by Sara (02/08/05)
MY LITTLE BOY'S EYES
My little boys eyes , so full of light,
Shining,smiling a sheer delight.
I wonder whats behind those eyes so true,
Oceans of sea foam, skies so blue...
Curious, laughing, sometimes teary,
My strength for him is never weary,
It comes from somewhere deep inside,
Forever flowing, an ebbing tide.
This wonder, this neverending love,
Was placed in his eyes from up above,
He gazes at me; such a sight!
My little boys eyes, so full of light.
JUST LOOK AT
MY LITTLE BOY'S EYES!
Caught making a toast to the bride & groom. 
I will have HORSES again....
One for Wyatt too!

I have spent about 7 months total overseas and have visited 10 different countries; I loved every minute of it!
Currently, I am working for the State Senate at the Capitol in Sacramento. I work as a legislative aide for a republican senator (Down with the far left...just kidding!)

Subject: New Year's Resolutions.......Phooey!
Janie thought we should excercise more this year-
so we decided to go to a mall every day and stroll for an hour or two. Only problem is every store she steps into costs me $50. Too expensive. So she decided to go by herself and eliminate the negative feedback and complaining. Today she is taking grandaughters Kelli and Kristen with her the sales are so good. The more she spends the more I save. Anyway the exercise is doing us alot of good. To save even more bucks we went to Disneyland with our annual pass (only $240 including parking). We went on five rides in three hours. We think we will do this at least once a week and be in great shape by next January. Only one problem, the pasta and pizza station was our first stop and the Gibson Girl ice cream parlor was the last. I think we are taking in more than we are wearing off!
Must modify this
behavior. But we do have more pep. Hope your good plans are working for you..............PAUL______________________________________________________________________________________________
