OF COURSE HE IS PERFECT......

OF COURSE HE IS PERFECT....HE IS MINE????

AARON'S FAVORITE TOY THESE PAST THREE YEARS.....IS GIFFY.....A BEAT UP, LOVED GIRAFFE.   HE HAD TAKEN IT TO GRAMS LAST FRIDAY BUT IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR FOR THE WHOLE WEEK END .......ONLY TO BE DISCOVERED IN GRAM'S LITTLE DOG'S BED.   AARON HAD PUT HIS SPECIAL TOY IN BREE'S BED TO SHARE BECAUSE HE LOVES BREE.....WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF HIM TO BE LEARNING TO SHARE YOUR TREASURES SO EARLY IN LIFE.......NEEDLESS TO SAY......BREE WAS HAPPY TO GET HER BED BACK.......!!!

OH YES, HE LOVES TO GO "TAIL GATING" WITH HIS FOLKS TO THE U GAMES......AND SEEMS DRESSED APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION.

A MOMENT FOR YOU!

YES .....IT IS WINTER IN SLC.......THE MOUNTAINS ARE STARTING TO TURN WHITE AND SOME OF THE SKI RESORTS ARE OPEN......MORE SNOW FORECAST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.....

IT IS SO EASY TO THINK YOU ARE A NOBODY IN THIS BIG WORLD......I GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN A COMPANY OR A COUNTRY TO BE IMPORTANT.......YOU ARE JUST YOU.....EVERY DAY YOU ARE SOMEONE'S ROCK OR SOMEONES WINGS.....SOMEONE'S CHEERLEADER, SOMEONE'S COACH OR SOMEONE'S BIGGEST FAN....SOMEONE'S GUARDIAN ANGEL OR SOMEONE'S HERO.......AND NEVER KNOW IT.........ALL JUST BY BEING YOU.....

I KEEP DODGING CHURCH JOBS.....BUT I DO HEM ALL THE NEIGHBORS SKIRTS, PANTS. REMODEL WEDDING DRESSES ETC......I HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE NEIGHBOR'S BANDAGE EVERY DAY WHERE SHE HAD CANCER REMOVED......I HAVE TRIED TO HELP PAM BY TAKING HER TO DO CHORES TILL SHE CAN DRIVE AGAIN WITH HER SORE FOOT.......I  DO ALL I CAN TO HELP KEN GROW IN THIS WORLD.....I GUESS I AM NOT ALL BAD.......BUT SO OFTEN I FEEL I SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO HELP ALL THOSE IN NEED.........MY MOTHER WAS SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE TO HER CHILDREN OF ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR THOSE WHO NEEDED SOMEONE.

LIKE GRANDMA......

JUST FEEL LIKE BRAGGING...........

A COUPLE OF MY WONDERFUL GRANDKIDS AND THEIR MATES.....NICCI AND BILL JUST GOT BACK FROM PORTUGAL FOR THANKSGIVING.....THEY HAVE THE TRAVEL BUG I DID....SHE LOVES BIG JEWLERY AND FUN CLOTHES......ME TO.

MY SWEET ALEX AND ASHLYN ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM ST THOMAS FOR THANKSGIVING.....HE JUST MELTS MY HEART!....AND THE OTHER SEVEN GRANDKIDS ARE JUST AS SPECIAL......

INTERESTING......

WITH MIXED EMOTIONS I POST THIS PICTURE......

RICHIE B. POSTED IT ON INSTAGRAM AT THANKSGIVING....NO DOUBT TAKEN AT THE GRAND AMERICA HOTEL WHERE THEY GO FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER.....NICE TO SEE THEY ARE WELL AND HAPPY.........

NEED ANOTHER DAY......

THIS IS PAM'S SAD FOOT...BUT HOPEFULLY HEALING THE TENDONS AND SHE WILL BE BACK ON TWO FEET AGAIN.  WITH ROB WORKING ALL THE TIME SHE IS GROUNDED....MORE OR LESS......TIFF IS GOOD TO HELP OUT, BUT SHE WORKS FULL TIME......SO I HAVE BEEN TAKING HER TO DO SHOPPING, POST OFFICE, PRESCRIPTIONS, ETC......WHICH REALLY HAS MADE THE TIME FLY BY.   IT WILL BE FOUR WEEKS TOMORROW....HOPEFULLY ONLY TWO MORE TO GO....THIS IS SUCH  A BUSY TIME OF YEAR TOO BE SICK......

AND

EVERY OTHER DAY I HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE BANDAGE ON MY NEIGHBORS BACK WHERE THEY BIOPSIED FOR CANCER.....SHE WENT IN YESTERDAY TO HAVE THE PROCEDURE AND CAME OVER THIS MORNING FOR A BANDAGE CHANGE.......GUESS WHAT?  THE HOLE I HAD BEEN BANDAGING FOR TWO WEEKS WAS NOT THE BIG HOLE THEY DUG IN FOR CANCER?????  I BANDAGED IT....AND SHE WAS GOING TO CALL HER DOCTOR FOR AN EXPLANATION????  I GO IN TOMORROW TO HAVE CANCER ON MY NOSE REMOVED

HAPPY THANKSGIVING........

TODAY A BIG HOLIDAY......THANKSGIVING!

WHAT IF TODAY WE WERE JUST GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING?

I KNOW I AM......MY HOME, FAMILY, NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS, HEALTH, A GREAT PRESIDENT AND A FREE COUNTRY.....NOT IN THE FIRES OR FLOODS OR SHOOTINGS GOING ON IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.....YES, THANK YOU GOD.

SEEMS THERE ARE TURKEYS AND THEN THERE ARE TURKEYS????HE CAN BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR ......I GO BACK TO THE HAPPY CHILD HOOD DAYS OF NO CARES OR NO WORRIES......DINNER AT GRANDMA AND GRANDPA GOFFS.....LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO BE TOGETHER......THINKING IT WOULD LAST FOREVER.....BUT NOTHING DOES.  IN AN HOUR MY SWEET SON-IN-LAW ROBBY IS PICKING ME UP AND I WILL HAVE DINNER WITH HIM AND PAM.  THEIR KIDS ARE OFF TO THEIR IN-LAWS..SOOOO IT'S JUST US.

DARREN CALLED EARLY AND WAS GETTING A CHARTER FLIGHT FROM ST THOMAS TO PUERTO RICO AS THEIR FLIGHTS HAD BEEN SCREWED UP ........SHERRIE GOT THE LAST SEAT ON THE FLIGHT WITH THE KIDS!!!!!  SHE ALSO CALLED AND SAID SHE HAD DARREN'S JACKET ETC. AND HE WAS HEADING FOR NEW YORK WHERE IT WAS THEIR COLDEST THANKSGIVING IN MANY YEARS IN HIS SHORTS AND SANDALS?

LESLIE TRAVELED TO OKLAHOMA....WHY?  AIRLINE TICKETS ARE CHEAPER.

BRAYDEN AND LIBBY OFF TO CEDAR CITY TO BE WITH HER FAMILY....IT WILL TAKE ROB AND I TEN MINUTES TO GET TO THEIR HOUSE......MY IDEA OF TRAVELING ON HOLIDAYS!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU'ALL!

JUMP INTO THE HOLIDAYS......

REALLY TRYING TO JUMP INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT......I AM THROUGH WITH WITH MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.....JUST NEED TO WRAP AND DELIVER.....LOVE THE CHRISTMAS SONGS......AND COLORS.  BOUGHT FOR THE COOKS...BUT I CAN THANK KARRIE FOR RUINING ANY REAL FAMILY-NESS WE WILL EVER HAVE AGAIN.   I MISS HER THREE KIDS AND WOULD LOVE TO SPOIL THAT GREAT-GRANDCHILD OF ANNIES.....BUT I HAVE BURIED ALL THAT AND MOVED ON.......WHEN WILL GOT MARRIED WHY WAS THE RULE   ...."NO COUSINS"......OK FOR THE PETERSONS,,,BUT NOT FOR  JULIE'S AND CHRIS'S KIDS AND ONE OF LIZ'S COUSINS?????IT HAS CAUSED FEELINGS.....

I REFUSE TO BE "THE REASON"....... THE THREE OF THEM FEEL WE MUST GET TOGETHER ON HOLIDAYS.........

MOST KIDS KEEP UP THIS TRADITION TILL THEIR PARENTS ARE DEAD.....NOT IN THIS CASE.....I DECIDED THIS CHRISTMAS IT WOULD END......EVERYONE IS ON THEIR OWN!

THINGS CHANGE.......I CAN HANDLE IT......I AM ALSO WORRIED THAT THE DAYS OF GIGI ARE NUMBERED.....HER BACK LEGS ARE GOING!......THAT MAKES ME SAD.

MAYBE I'LL GO FIX ME A DRINK........EGGNOG SOUNDS GOOD!

I DID IT!!!

I DID IT????   I JOINED ALL THOSE EARLY CHRISTMAS DECORATION PEOPLE AND PUT UP MY TREE ON SUNDAY .......AFTER CHURCH!....BUT I CAN'T FIND WHERE I PUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT???? SO I WILL KEEP SEARCHING......THAT IS THE MYSTERY OF MY HOUSE TODAY......

I HAVE A PRETTY NEW TREE FROM WALMART....TALL, STRAIGHT.....DEMANDING AND COVERED WITH WHITE LIGHTS AND WHITE DECORATIONS.......I DOUBT ANYONE BUT ME SEES IT....BUT IT IS MY TREE....FOR ME! I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE CHRISTMAS'S I WILL BE AROUND TO ENJOY....SO I AM DOING THIS FOR ME!..I HOPE I HAVE A FEW MORE.....BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS.  

THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR THAT IT IS SO EASY TO GET DEPRESSED......YOU START REMEMBERING ALL THOSE WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIMES YOU ENJOYED GROWING UP....POOR....YES.....BUT WONDERFUL.   THAT NASTY HARD CANDY THAT EVERYONE LICKED TO SEE IF THEY LIKED IT....OR NOT.....AND SOON IT WAS ONE STICKY GLOB.....FEW DECORATIONS AND LIGHTS......YOU HUNG UP YOUR OWN SOX????  DAD AND YOU GIRLS WENT WITH HIM TO CUT DOWN YOUR OWN TREE AND HE NAILED A FLAT BOARD ON THE BOTTOM SO IT WOULD STAND UP AND YOU COULD ONLY PUT UP A TREE A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AS IT WOULD DRY UP WITHOUT WATER......AS YOU GOT OLDER THE CHRISTMAS DANCE....WHICH YOUR MOTHER USUALLY PLAYED IN THE BAND....WAS THE HIGH-LIGHT OF THE HOLIDAYS AND BY THEN YOU HAD UNWRAPPED AND REWRAPPED ALL YOUR PRESENTS AND KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING????  BUT THOSE ARE THE MEMORIES THAT GET ME THROUGH THESE OLD AGE HOLIDAYS.....GOOD MEMORIES OF LOVE AND FUN.

MY FRIEND.....SHIRLEY CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID...... I AM SO DEPRESSED......I KNOW THAT FEELING.....IT HAPPENS ALOT TO OLD PEOPLE WHOSE LOVED ONES ARE GONE OR THEIR FAMILIES ARE TOO BUSY TO BE BOTHERED BY OLD PEOPLE....

YOU LOVE THE HOLIDAYS......AND YOU HATE THE HOLIDAYS......

AND

IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ALL....SO0NER OR LATER!

TIME FOR GRATITUDE.......

YES....I LOVE GIGI......BUT HOW CAN ONE LITTLE DOG POO SO MUCH.....NOW THE LEAVES HAVE FALLEN AND I TRY TO CLEAN UP TWICE OR SO A WEEK.......I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FIRST SNOW FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND......FROM A POO BREAK!!!!  THE GRATITUDE OF THIS SCENARIO IS......SHE NEVER GOES IN THE HOUSE!!!!!
KEN HAS BEEN GONE A WEEK AND I NEVER GOT ONE OF THE THINGS ON MY "TO DO" LIST........DONE!   BUT I DID GET MY CHRISTMAS TREE UP LAST SUNDAY AND HAVE BEEN SLOWLY DRAGGING EVERYTHING OUT OF THE GARAGE INTO THE HOUSE AND ALL THE FALL STUFF OUT TO THE GARAGE.....KEN WILL BE HOME FRIDAY.......AND HAS TWO MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL THIS QUARTER AT UVU!!!!!

YOU ARE NOT KIDDING!!!

MOST PEOPLE THINK THANKSGIVING IS ALL ABOUT THE TONS OF "GOOD FOOD" THEY GET TO EAT WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CALORIES?  I AM NOT A FOOD PERSON SO I WOULD PREFER TO THINK OF IT AS A TIME TO GET TOGETHER WITH SELDOM SEEN RELATIVES??????.....( WHO HALF OF THEM DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER)......OR MAYBE SETTLE FOR A HAPPY MEAL FROM MCDONALD'S WITH EXTRA FRY SAUCE IN A NICE QUIET CORNER OF THE RESTAURANT....THIS WOULD MAKE A LOT OF TURKEYS HAPPY.  WITH THE CHRISTENSONS IN ST THOMAS....THE COOKS NOT SPEAKING......AND ROB WORKING THANKSGIVING......I GUESS PAM AND I WILL GET A COUPLE OF TV DINNERS AND CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING TOGETHER.....WE NEITHER ONE WANT TO COOK AND BESIDES SHE DOESN'T EAT TURKEY....OR FISH....OR CHICKEN????!

MONDAY IT WAS LUNCH AND PICKING UP PAM'S PRESCRIPTIONS.....

TUESDAY IT WAS A DERMATOLOGY APPOINTMENT AND GROCERY SHOPPING....

WEDNESDAY IT WAS TAKING PAM TO WORK DOWN TOWN....SAT TWO HOURS IN THE CAR WAITING FOR HER AND A STOP TO DROP OFF THE PAPER WORK.....THEN A THANKSGIVING DINNER WITH THE CHRISTENSON CLAN BEFORE THEY TOOK OFF FOR ST THOMAS FOR A WEEK.......

TO BE AR NOT TO BE........

 

SOME DAYS I AM OLD....SOME DAYS I AM OLDER.....AND SOME DAYS I AM OLDEST......BUT ALL THE TIME I STAY YOUNG AT HEART!!!!!

THE COLD FALL WEATHER HAS A WAY OF REMINDING MY ARTHRITIS I AM A LITTLE BIT OLD!!  KEN AND I HAVE BEEN WINTERIZING MY PLACE....COVERED THE PATIO FURNITURE....TRIMMED THE PLANTS...COVERED THE AIR CONDITIONER  ETC....... THURSDAY MORNING IS "BREAKFAST OUT DAY" FOR US AND WE TAKE TURNS PAYING AND CHOOSING WHERE WE WILL EAT....AND THEY PAY FOR IT!  TODAY DENNY;S......HIS CALL....WENT TO THE BANK AND WALMART...TOOK A NAP AND DID TWO BATCHES OF LAUNDRY....OH YES, PAID MY HOUSE TAXES.  MAXINE AND I AGREE.....YOU CAN ONLY DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO......CALLED PAM SHE IS UP NOW AND DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING.  TOMORROW MAYBE CLEAN MY CLOSET......MY NEW FASHION STYLE IS CALLED......WHATEVER THE HELL STILL FITS ME THIS WINTER!

NEVER STOP WORRYING.....

THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE DAUGHTER PAM......DAUGHTERS CAN BE SO SPECIAL AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS ALL GROWN UP WITH THREE MARRIED KIDS AND A GRANDCHILD......SHE NEVER QUITS BEING MY LITTLE GIRL AND I WORRY ABOUT HER.

SHE HAD SOME SPLIT TENDONS IN HER FOOT OPERATED ON A FEW DAYS AGO AND IS DOWN FLAT FOR FIVE DAYS ......THEY DISCOVERED SHE HAD THREE TENDONS IN HER FOOT WHICH THE DOCTOR HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE....HE REMOVED IT AND SEWED THE OTHER TWO UP......HOPE IN SIX WEEKS SHE WILL BE AS GOOD AS NEW......BUT A MOTHER ALWAYS WORRYS.....AND NEVER LIKES TO SEE THEIR KIDS HURT.

SO PROUD OF HIM.

NEW MONTH....NEW PUSH.....

HERE WE GO AGAIN......THE STORES DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW....NOVEMBER IS TURKEY MONTH......THEIR SHELVES ARE FULL OF CHRISTMAS TEMPTATIONS ALREADY!!!!  AND VERY FEW THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS AVAILABLE......
PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY STARTED ASKING ME...."WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THANKSGIVING?????.......MY YEARLY ANSWER IS........ GETTING A HAPPY MEAL FROM MCDONALD'S WITH EXTRA FRY SAUCE!.......THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES IS GREAT???
STARING A LONG TIME AGO....THANKSGIVING IS A DAY OF STRESS......I THINK IT WILL BE EVEN WORSE NOW DAYS AS THE TURMOIL IN OUR WORLD IS SO GREAT AND WE ARE SUCH A DIVIDED COUNTRY........DINNER CONVERSATIONS CAN BECOME LANDMINES,,,,,,RELATIONSHIPS ARE AS STRAINED AS MY JEANS AFTER THREE HELPING OF MASHED POTATOES......FAMILIES HAVE'T BEEN THIS DIVIDED SINCE THE GREAT TOILET PAPER ORIENTATION DEBATE OF 1954!!!....MY FAMILY HAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED! WE ARGUE ABOUT KNEELING OR NOT KNEELING.......PRESIDENT TRUMP VS A SANE PERSON......WOMEN'S RIGHTS...RICH WHITE MEN....MARCHES AND DEMONSTRATIONS COVERING EVERYTHING...EVEN ASKING SOMEONE THEIR VIEW ON MAYONNAISE COULD SPARK A WORLD-WIDE PROTEST????....SO WHAT DO PEOPLE TALK ABOUT AROUND THE THANKSGIVING TABLE.....WELL THAT'S NOT MY WORRY ANYMORE.....MOST THE PEOPLE IN MCDONALD'S SPEAK SPANISH.....AND I DON'T ....SO I AM SAFE THIS HOLIDAY!!!!
