I had planned to turn this blog over to Rebecca so she could keep everyone updated as to her comings and goings, revelations and scintillations, but... it appears she has been way to busy getting her life back together and figuring out which direction to turn in creating her new future to even attempt to learn this new fangled thing called Blogging.
So, here I am with more news to post.
Rebecca is in the US visiting her mother. Our son Evan, my wife Beverly and I picked Rebecca up at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport the other day on a layover during her trip to Walla Walla, WA where her mother is in an assisted living home. It is such a relief for all that she is there and able to visit with Hilda as she approaches her 89th year.
So, we pick her up during her layover and Evan treated us all to a great dinner at Bahama Breeze in Southcenter. Great food and beverages, fun conversation and a very healthy and mentally stable Rebecca Roth. It was great! She had some stories to tell and news to share.
One of the biggest bits of news was that she had made her way back to Puerta Vallarta to assess damage done to her home by the "caretaker" that was given free rent to care for her home. After some assistance from local friends in getting the back utilities paid, she was able to wade through the debris of her belongings and home fixtures and attempted to put things back in order. For the most part, she did a good job, as she related the story. It is such a shame that a "friend" would take such advantage and treat her personal property as so much junk. Very sad.
On a much brighter note... She's got dolls! As we were checking her bags back into the airport, she broke into one suitcase to reveal what appeared to be about 30 dolls of all shapes, sizes and themes. Many of them were absolutely beautiful. In some circles in Mexico, these dolls have been purchased and recognized as works of art. Each one is hand made and unique in style and design.
Here is a handful of pictures of some that she brought with her. So far, I have heard that she has sold about ten of the dolls to the residents and family memebrs of the people that her mother, Hilda, lives with.
I will be posting all of the pictures of dolls that I have received from Rebecca's sister Barbara over the last few years so that you can see them all in one place.
If anyone would like to purchase a doll, the prices range from only $25 to $100. Of course, prices vary depending on detail, etc. To order a doll, contact Barbara at eslbjm@hotmail.com or call her at 323-786-9819.
Note:
Rebecca has no idea I am writing this part, but...
After all that she has been through, her assets have been depleted, her business run out of business and her home literally ransacked... not to mention legal bills that have consumed funds. She could use some help. If you would like to make a difference, a donation in return for a handcrafted piece of art would be a great way to do so. Your unique doll will be a conversation piece and an investment in a new beginning for Rebecca. Contact Barbara to find out how you can help, please.
