Sometimes

Sometimes life gets in the way of what Life is supposed to be,,,,I was letting the little bumps in the road get me down and didn't even try to struggle out of it.I was wallowing in all the "stuff" and forgetting what is important~ FAMILY~ While I sit in my mess I let family down I let things slip by that I shouldn't, I let everyone , including myself , down. I hate missing things, I hate being so far away I hate 'forgetting' I should be there for you all instead of apologizing for not. Things will change and will change NOW. My 'stuff" was in the cellar but I have hauled it all out into the sunshine to either blow away or blow the stink off. I am sorry to have missed important dates, times and people and this will be fixed!! I know it's hard work to get things done but I must dig in and do the work. I love you all and will do my best to let you all know it in more ways than one!! Forgive my mistakes and let me make it up. NOTHING is more important the my Family!!

I wish everyone reading this a wonderful Christmas,

The Holidays are upon us!!

The hustle bustle of Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas rush is upon us. I had a house-full for Turkey!! Small people are wonderful, makes me happy I am "the Grandma" Now the house is empty and quiet but I did love the noise and miss it, I haven't quite wiped off all the little finger-prints around the house, makes me smile to see them, knowing our house is warm and loving enough to welcome in all the family! It will be quiet for awhile till Christmas where we will once again have little people here. Still have to figure out where the tree will go so Santa knows where to set out the gifts!! Can't wait till then!!

Good-byes & Hellos

Today was a day of good bye and Hello. I bid farewell to a dear old friend as she went to join her family and friends in the Celestial Kingdom. It was a beautiful Memorial to a good women's life. 7 children, 27 grandchildren and 18 great grand children. I had only known this woman a few years but she was always a ray of sunshine when I saw her. I was blessed to have known her.
This evening I attended a Shower for a brand new baby boy!! Born premature a few weeks ago and lovingly given in adoption to a wonderful family I know.. Sweet souls exchanging greetings on their ways past each other. I am blessed by all the people in my life and all the wonderful things awaiting me as I continue on my path!

Sunday Afternoons

Here we are on another Sunday afternoon, Church all morning,Wonderful, Spiritual, I am fully fed with the Gospel!! I taught the Relief Society lesson today on Agency, so why do I want to 'force' all of our children to move within a block of our place?? I have friends whose children all join them for Sunday dinners and some who have their children right on the block, I feel envious, our sons and daughter have their lives somewhere else than here. I know this is right for them but I am feeling pangs of grandmotherhood! And mothering too. Hopefully this feeling will never go away, it just means I love my children and want them around!

Temple Blessings

Today is the 9th anniversary of Mark and I being sealed for time and eternity at the Las Vegas LDS Temple!! We went back today and had a wonderful,spiritual time there for a few hours!! Love it! We are truly blessed to be able to attend the Temple whenever we want to because it is so near by. I am so pleased to be sealed to my wonderful husband Mark!! We are a forever family!

Getting Better

The Doc said I am healing very well and can go back to work. Don't know if that's a good thing or not but am going back this Friday. There is some remodeling going on and walls coming down at work so Friday they will have my AP office all set up!! It's been over a month and I am not so sure I really want to go back to working but we will give it a try,,,,funny I was bored to death at first but find I like the time to my self now! Ya just never know what can keep ya happy from day to day!

Rain

OK so my wonderful Mark washed the truck yesterday and what does it do that it hasn't done in about a month????Rain,,,Figures!!!

Temple Day

Lacie and I got to go to the Las Vegas Temple yesterday! Uncle Mark met us in the parking lot and took my truck with the kids for an afternoon of Mickey D's and ariport plane watching. Lace and I had a wonderful spiritual time at the Temple and it was great. We met them later at Fry's and looked at IPOD's but didnt get one YET!! Gotta shop it for a month or so till we find the best price! Anyway it was a good day!!

Warning

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along the public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick flowers in other people's gardens

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Being Home!

Well I have been home after my hysterectomy for 3 weeks now and am about ready to go back to work but the Doc said not till after the 10th of October after I see him again!!!UGH I am so ready but I know I can't push it or I will be sorry. I have my wonderful Hubby here helping me everyday and my beautiful neice and her kids are here for a few days keeping me on my toes!! AHHH the young were meant to be parents!!! I can't keep up! Love them all tho!!!
