NEVER TO LATE........

INTERESTING.......HOW AT 61 YOU FIND A REWARDING JOB?

MY SWEET SON-IN-LAW ROB WENT TO WORK FOR AMAZON A FEW WEEKS AGO TO HELP DETER THE HORRIBLE HEALTH INSURANCE HE WAS PAYING....IN SIX WEEKS HE HAD ADVANCED TO A LEVEL 3 AND LOVING HIS JOB......HE IS FUN AND FRIENDLY AND MAKES EVERYONE SMILE AND HI-FIVE.......

HOW MANY PEOPLE WORK HARD AT  CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS ONLY TO FIND IT IS LEANING AGAINST THE WRONG WALL???

LEADERSHIPS FIRST CREATION....MANAGEMENT......

SECOND CREATION......... MANAGEMENT IS DOING THINGS RIGHT......

LEADERSHIP IS DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AND MANAGEMENT IS EFFICIENCY......IN   CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS......LEADERSHIP DETERMINES WHETHER THE LADDER IS LEANING AGAINST THE RIGHT WALL.....???

TALKED TO BEST FRIEND PATTY AND SHE HAD BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL A COUPLE OF DAYS....DID I GET LEISA'S TEXT????IS SHE KIDDING?????I NEVER READ A TEXT!. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE I AM STILL IN THE STONE AGE!!!!  PHONE OR WRITE ME A LETTER IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT WITH ME!!!!

I

BEST OF PLANS.......

WE I KINDA HAD MY SATURDAY PLANNED......SLEEP IN!  BREAKFAST.....SHOWER AND WASH MY HAIR....... AND GET KEN TO HELP TRIM THE FLOWERS, PLANT SOME BULBS AND COVER THE THE PATIO FURNITURE.....THEN I WILL BE READY FOR BAD WEATHER WHICH THEY FORECAST BY WEDNESDAY.......

I SLEPT IN TILL 8:00 AND WAS JUST HANGING OUT TILL I SHOWERED AND WASHED MY HAIR FOR CHURCH.....WHEN SHERRIE CALLED AND SAID YOU ARE GOING TO A MOVIE AT 10:20 WITH US!!!! NOT IN MY PLANS!!!  BUT.....I GOT DRESSED AND LOADED KEN AND WE MET THE WHOLE FAMILY......IT WAS MR BEAN IN JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN.....WE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED......SOME TIMES YOU REALIZE YOUR PLANS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST.....AND JUST HANGING OUT WITH YOUR KIDS IS LOST MORE FUN AND IMPORTANT THAN TRIMMING DOWN A BUNCH OF DEAD OLD PLANTS!!!!!  I DID COME HOME AND WASH MY HAIR WHILE THEY WENT TO A "SNOWMOBILE" SHOW ACROSS THE STREET......

AM I DUNN ROVIN?

JUST WHEN I THINK I AM DUNN ROVIN.......I REALIZE I AM STILL AT IT!

AS THIS YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE I LOOK BACK AND REALIZE I AM STILL PACKING MY BAGS AND HITTING THE ROAD NOW AND THEN......

IN MAY I WENT TO CANCUN MEXICO FOR A WEEK WITH LES, SHERRIE AND TAMMIE....HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.....

IN JUNE TIFFANY AND HER FAMILY AND I WENT TO ISLAND PARK, IDAHO FOR A FOUR DAY RETREAT AND CELEBRATED HER AND ROB'S BIRTHDAY AND FATHER'S DAY.......AND SOME BIG DINNER AND SILENT AUCTION THING IN A TENT??

IN JULY.....TIFF, AARON AND I DROVE TO VERNAL FOR A LONG WEEKEND TO HELP SHERRIE GET READY FOR ALEX'S WEDDING IN THE BACK YARD.

IN SEPTEMBER I SPENT THREE NIGHTS IN PARK CITY CELEBRATING WILLIAM'S WEDDING WITH THE PANNIER FAMILY.....

IN OCTOBER......PACKED MY BAGS FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AT THE CHRISTENSON'S CABIN IN PARK CITY OVER CONFERENCE AND CELEBRATED DARREN'S BIRTHDAY..

ONLY DIFFERENCE I GUESS IS......THESE TRIPS DON'T NEED A PASSPORT....ONLY THE MEXICO ONE....  SO BRING ON THIS ROVIN STUFF........

RICH OR NOT RICH????

OK I HAVE BEEN THINKING????......YES, I DO SOMETIMES........AM I RICH OR NOT RICH???

YEP, I AM REALLY RICH.......I HAVE MY HEALTH, RAISED NICE KIDS AND HAD A WONDERFUL FAMILY GROWING UP.....I GOT UP AND WENT TO CHURCH THIS MORNING.......AND THE STRANGEST GUY CAME IN LATE AND SAT BY ME....HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN PART INDIAN AND HIS NAME WAS TYSON!!! HE HAD ON A WILD PRINTED SHIRT AND SHORTS AND KEPT WANTING TO RAISE HIS HAND AND ASK A QUESTION OF THE SPEAKER ON THE PROGRAM......I TOLD HIM HE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR CLASS.....NOW AND THEN HE WOULD PUT HIS HANDS TOGETHER AND .....I THINK PRAY????? AND HE TOLD ME HE NEEDED HELP......I GOT A BIG HUG AFTER CHURCH AND TOLD HIM WHERE CLASS WAS......WHY DID THIS HAPPEN????  HALF THE TIME I DON'T GO TO CHURCH ......BUT TODAY WE BOTH DID?

RICH TO SOME PEOPLE IS DIFFERENT THAN IT IS TO OTHERS......YES, WE NEED MONEY TO PAY OUR BILLS AND FEED OURSELVES......BUT HOW MUCH MONEY IS "ENOUGH?"  AGAIN.....WE EACH HAVE OUR PRIORITIES.

BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER DAY.....

HALLOWEEN IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.....AND I WENT AND BOUGHT A TON OF CANDY TODAY....I BOUGHT THE KIND I LIKE......THEN IF ANY IS LEFT I CAN ENJOY IT!!!  WE ARE HAVING GREAT WEATHER....BEEN PULLING UP THE SUMMER FLOWERS AND PLANTING A FEW BULBS.......KNOWING WINTER ISN'T FAR BEHIND.

THE CUTE BLOND BOY JUST TURNED 17.......AND IS NOW A TALL, GORGEOUS BOY WITH  A HEAD OF BLOND HAIR AND STILL HAS THE GREAT SMILE.....SCOTTIE TURNED 17 YESTERDAY AND I ALL I CAN SAY IS ..."HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!"......IN THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS I DO NOT HAVE ANY NEW PICTURES OF SCOTT......

COUNTING DOWN.......
