Joy Garrett (Chessher)
LOL...I have been tagged twice today!!! Okay...being the shy, secluded, introvert that I AM NOT...here goes! 1. I have only had one spanking in my life from Daddy because Janie and I were playing on the water fountain at Lake Jackson Cinema!!! Oh yes we were in trouble with Mr. Heubel, and hid in the restroom!!!! Daddy spanked us, and then cried because he did!!
2. My greatest influence in the whole world was my Grandmother, Mammy Garrett.. aka "Tildy!" She was 5'1", and fit right under my arm pit!!! She was hilarious, and loved Janie and me... like we were her daughters!The police loved her...she was always running red lights in Lake Jackson, and they never gave her a ticket!!!! LOL...they don't catch me!!! heh heh!!! We lost Mom to a blood clot in junior high, and from the bottom of my heart I thank GOD for Mammy...She is the only woman that I wanted to be like!!! I spent the night with her every weekend until I went to college! 3. I worked at my Dad's pharmacies from the time I was 12-23! We had competitions with the downtown store to see who could sell the most at Christmas...Janie and I always won!!! Daddy always said the Eskimos would buy ice from me!!! LOL!! I attribute my muscular back to mopping thousands of square feet of flooring...my title "gopher!!" Just kidding...I loved every minute, and all of the beauty products!!! My signature cologne is still Channel #5!!!! 4. My Daddy hated slumber parties, and I had to really make over him to go! He always said that it was for slumbering, and we did not sleep!!!Yes, Julie your Mom was right!!! We did wrap houses!! Oh, and one time I busted my knees running away from a teacher...had to clean it up the next day and couldn't hardly walk!! 5. I married the man of my dreams, Randy Chessher, and because of his influence I have a relationship with GOD. He was my prince in shining armour...and he did rescue me!!! Being married to him was on of the greatest gifts that GOD gave me!!! Janie has always said that he was the best looking man she had ever seen. For me it wasn't just his looks, but who he was!!! WOW WOW!!!! 6. A gift from GOD...my beautiful granddaughter Jolie Elizabeth Chessher!!! Wow what a beauty she is!! The other day she said, "Nanny, GOD made me!" I said, "you are right Jolie!" She said, "and GOD made me to be very special!" "Oh, yes HE did Jolie!!!" She is 2 1/2!!! She is a talker like her Nanny!!! I am presently dedicating my life to her!!!! 8. Randy and I have 4 sons! They are handsome, and all different from each other! I stayed home with them...managed my own company from my shop...can you believe I put together pneumatic tool kits?! I also repaired my garage door opener...by rewiring it!!! 9. I love to cook...and my title MRS FHA really did come true. Randy and I built two houses, and never once had an agruement! Janie and Frank live in the first house in Georgetown! 10. I have done so many things...taught school Special Education and sixth grade social studies and art, managed thousands of apartments in Austin, and taught the training school for the managers, owned and managed a tool company that sold to outside plant of telephone companies, partnership in a telecommunications company managed by Randy Chessher, owned a salon, owned an oil company and managed oil leases, raise Whitetail bucks at my ranch...big boys,worked in church youth, benevolence, and crisis care, skin specialist, owned a spa...Faces of JOY...that is another story..., and now I am interested in refurbishing houses and selling them.I am also contemplating nursing school! I have a gift to help people through the worst of the worst! 11. I am extremely adventurous and have traveled extensively!!! My favorite...Bora Bora....the water is the most aqua I have ever seen!!! LOL I was always scared of drowning since I was held under one time! I prayed to overcome this fear...and have been diving in Bora Bora, Moorea, and Cozumel!!! I have some great stories, and have met some great people! 12. Vices...Dr Pepper my pepper upper!!!! 13. Love to shop...love to decorate and make it all pretty! 14. One of my favorite people...Edith...she cleans my house!!! She is the only person I have found that cleans better than me! 15. I love my family, and spent my life dedicated to them, and my husband. I learned that GOD wants my dedication, and I have changed... 16.. I love my sister Janie...we are great friends..she is my confidant, and we laugh until we pee in our pants!!! I really love to laugh, and people this really works to keep your face from drooping and causing wrinkles!!! 17. My worst tragedy is losing Randy to brain cancer, and watching someone you love go through the worst of the worst right before you! I learned the true meaning of love, and not parting until death. I know that GOD put me in his life, and I was the person that would help see him through...until the LORD came to take him HOME...I have some great GOD stories!!!! 18. I am happy most of the time, but if I am not you will not see me.. I spend time with GOD, and he fills me back up with all of HIS LOVE!!! 19. One of my favorite things to do is go to the ranch and road hunt...no I don't shoot them...I just call it that when I shine flash lights and night romping in the Ranger!!! Yipppppeeee. I love to take pictures of them...Bojangles went to deer heaven, but I still have Barneo..wow wow! I now am improving the genetics. See Atlas on the internet...type him in google! Wow, he is a 254 class with two drop tines!!! I have the full sister to him!!! Keep in touch so you can see my babies!!! It is so true that Texans want the biggest!!!! Fun!!! 20. I almost married twice...one was bipolar and the other 11 years younger...GOD saved me from both!!! The worst thing that could happen to Joy Garrett Chessher is to look over one morning at someone and realize I made a huge mistake!!! Met many...but no boat floating...one man woman!!! 21. I love children, and I am a child advocate for children with cancer! I have lost one of my adopted sons to colon cancer at 31 on October 17, 2008. His name was Colin Lyman Carr. His brother has colon cancer too, but is doing well thank you GOD! 22. I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with love and respect. I am the type of person most people open up to, and you wouldn't believe what they tell me!!! OMG, but also I don't tell what they tell me if they want it private! 23. If I died today..I have been blessed and know I will live forever with JESUS, and my loving family...never separated again..FOREVER!!!! YIPPPPPPPPEEEEE GOD has taken good care of me...and believe me this is not easy! I am trouble with a capital "T"!!! 24. To see you all means so much to me. We had a great class BHS 1969!
