HOW FAST......

How fast the years pass......A fun summer trip up to Virginia City, Montana one summer while staying in Idaho at the Panniers cabin.......which they have sold and now own a traviler house! I guess this was five years ago because Aaron started school this year.....Betty Marie.....Pamela Marie....Tiffany Marie and Aaron.....four generations!  Love you guys. I fell in love with this quaint old town with its wooden side walks and redone stores...it was an old mining town....would like to go back.

VACATION TIME.....

PANNIERS IN CORANADO.....

Grandma got to baby sit Bree while Pam joined Rob in Calif for the Labor Day weekend.....He had to work in CA for three weeks and was lonesome......one more week to go......I went up to Christenson's cabin for the day and had dinner and a fun visit with Sher's family and the Bains.  Beutiful drive up the canyon and the leaves are barely starting to change colors......Libby went to Cedar City with her brother to tell their grandpa good-bye.....he died two days later and will have his funeral this weekend....so sweet Brayden took care of me....I guess it is officially Fall!

WEATHER CHANGE.....

How can the weather change 30 degrees over night.....?  One day 100 degrees and the next we turn on the heat as we are freezing.....snowed in the mountains already.....So excited.....decided to put my back yard in pavers like the neighbor....make one big patio.  I will start looking for a fun round table and chairs and we can enjoy it more this fall...will get a bid tomorrow and ok from the HOA...the bar-b-q is so big no table room.....I guess if I spend my money....the kids won't have to fight over it.

I finally did my ironing this morning!!!  Forgot I had all those fun clothes....now to clean the bed room......Yesterday I got a flue shot.....now waiting for the shot to take care of the viris to be invented.....hurry up you guys...we need it.

T00 TIRED...

BOY IS THIS TRUE.......Don't tell me it is just old age......but i guess it partly is....but every thing is an effort....Yesterday went in and got another shot in my shoulder.....arthristis is really getting me down.....today did the laundry....PATTY came and stayed three hours...love it but don;t get anything done.....empty the dishwasher and take a nap......missed Dr Phil.....but just a rerun....Need to water the plants and I'LL be ready for bed......and yes it is 6:30......

BIG DAY OUT....

Big adventure of the summer....Libby...Suzanne and I had a fun time riding the ski lift at Park City last Friday...thanks to Brayden's freebees....beautiful day and fun adventure....It was a test for me and they had to stop the lift to get me and off ....but I hung (joke) hung in and made it....then down to the Mexican restrauant for lunch and a 20% discount on the lunch.....Suzanne said we couldn't go home without stopping at the Chocolate Factory for desert....soooo a perfect ending to  perfect adventure.

SAD BUT GLAD.....

This is my youngest grand-child preparing to fly off on a two year church mission to FORT COLLINS, COLORADO..... Saying good-bye is always hard. Scotty spent the last 6 weeks in the family basement doing his MTC work of learning Potugese.....he was first assigned to Brazil...so? So proud of him and he was anxious to be on his way.....and get to work.  Big brother Richie served his two year mission in Mexio....and getting ready for a mission was different then....before the viris!

Good Luck Scott....we love you and will miss you.

WELCOME SEPTEMBER......

THIS IS ARRON HORTON.....MY OLDEST GREAT-GRANDCHILD....ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.....HIS MOTHER SAID ..."OTHER THAN I FORGOT TO PICK HIM UP???  HE SAID HE MADE A NEW FRIEND AND WANTS TO GO BACK TOMORROW."
           When I started to school.....I went to seven different ones my first grade and was always the new girl in class.....and had to make new friends easily to survive....maybe the reason I have always been a people person.....the worst one was Walsenberg Colorado....a railroad town with mostly Mexicans....who all spoke Spanish?I didn't!
