HANGING IN THERE......

I BELIEVE......

You just got no choice......I sleep.....I eat....I changed the bed and did the laundry....and made out this months bills.  Libby down stairs doing home work...Brayden off to his office.....and I guess that is about what everyone else is doing....as we listen to the daily news.  BUT there are some good things today also....phone calls...a hot shower.....I am well.....I am full....I am rested and have a fresh bed to crawl into tonight.  We have been informed....this will be the schedule for April......so we aint done yet!

Good bye March

FINALLY GOT TIME....

After years of  wanting to thoroughly clean my house but lacking the time........this week I discovered that wasn't the reason,,,,,I guess I am out of excuses now as I have way too much time to do nothing,,,,,Soon I will be talking to my shadow or the spiders......tv is good but so tired of the same old stuff,

I am making a sign for my front door.......

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE...NO ONE CAN STOP BY UNANNOUNCED...WE AINT SICK, WE JUST DON'T TRUST YOU AROUND OUR TOILET PAPER?

Tomorrow is the last day of March.....I guess it will be a March we will never forget.   We buried Grandpa Bud Christenson......Coronoviris sent all of us into "lock up"....as it took over NYC and  moved into every state....especially hard for the elderly over 65 and babies......my catagory.....so here I am missing all that retail therapy.  I must learn to shop on line I guess.....where there is a will....there is a way!  Thank goodness for the phone...tv.....Ipad....knitting ......Sudoko books and my computer....all good for wasting time.....do need to exerise more.

And soon Spring came ......and healed our earth again!

MIRACHELS.....

Today was National Fast Day for the LDS church,,,,,in desperation to help turn this Coronoviris around!!! I know God heard our prayers to help all the sick people around the world and keep the rest of us well......I know things happen for a reason.....but why?  Was Washington just getting out of hand....was the drug problem getting out of hand....Why God?  God has his way of taking care of things like this.....just read the scriptures.
It has been a loooong......weekend.  Lots of naps and lots of snacks and phone calls......and it looks like at least another month of no work, no school, or church,,,,,visiting neighbors.  Thankgoodness I have Brayden and Libby living with me....I really don't know what I would do.....sure do love them! It is a cloudy and cold day which does not help brighten the mood of things.
I am hoping for a  miracle I guess and it doesn;t  cost anything to HOPE.......

SO GREATFUL......

I love people with a sense of humor.........

Only this is true.....the toilet paper thing has finally slowed down...but you gotta have what you gotta have......Remember the days you would grab a half dozen rolls of tp.....and decorate a neighbor's house.....those games are over for this generation......

Today I had Libby cut my fun nails off....can't get to a manicure.....and the long nails hid germs....so to be safe.....I chopped them off....after so many years .......NEXT ....to figure out what to do with my white hair....no regular trips to have it dyed.....This is making an old lady out of me......

BIG EYES.....

This is a look on Pam.....I have never seen before......Thats how I look in thIe morning....wow...I have another day to live....I must find out what brought it on......Pam.
The days are all about the same any more.....sleep in....eat breakfast...go back to bed....shower....dress...lunch....nap ....dr phil.....dinner and bed! Seems the bed is the center of my day....I did take a walk with my neighbor to the mail box a couple of days....sunny but cold.
Libby came back from Vernal today.....happy Brayden,,,,,and Brayden got word...stay home till the first of May.....INTERESTING TIME IN MY LIFE!!!!

EVERYONE....BE POSITIVE...

I am so thankful and so lucky.....not to have babies to worry about....kids and grandkids....yes....and the vulnerability of being old......and doing everything I can not to get the Covd-19.....but I can stay happy and know God is hearing my prayers......I have to just be thankful I have a warm home and plenty to eat....I am well for my age...and sweet family aand friends and neighbors checking on me.  I wish I could do more for those in need......but will phone and be cheerful.

Brayden home from Vernal....but Libby stayed a few more days.  Sherrie sent me some good soup......It snowed last night....and yet there is a tree in back all white in bloom.....I know Spring is here.....and this is Spring weather.......

NAILS AND HAIR......

Guess what?......I just figured out what to do with my nails now I cannot run down to the nail parlor....I will get lots of pairs of rubber gloves ...paint each pair with nails of different colors......then when I dash out grab a pair that matches my outfit......Save me some money....

Then I am working on what todo about keeping my hair colored?.....Maybe I will finally let it go white or start painting silver streaks in it.....Being shut in really makes it hard to stay beautiful......but when you cannot go any where......what difference does it make?  Coronaviris seems to be taking  over the world......

a

SCOTTIE.....

This is Scottie Cook......the youngest of  my nine grandchildren.......he opend his mission papers tonight......he is off to Brazil in July........YES.....I will cry....I always do when one of them leave.  He is a senior and graduating from Brighton High....but sitting it out till May.....when hopefully we are all let out of intermingling......and he can have graduation. He is such a cute....friendly.....smart boy. THIS Coronaviris has really screwed up things for young kids.....heard the summer olympic in Tokoyo is pushed up further till next year.  So many sick and dying people all over the world...My kids have me home bound.....but  got my taxes turned in today!

Had three naps and a half dozen sncks and it's still the same day....sleep and eat?

GOD BE WITH US....

Today my sweet Brayden conducted Sacrament Meeting for 10 people in my house.....the bishop ask him to do this........8 daring neighbors came at nine...dressed for church.....he blessed and passed the bread and water with the help of the neighbor.....a short and good meeting.....then he zipped off for Vernal for a few days....where Libby has been all week....he has two weeks off with pay.....we pray mightly for the safety of our families and self......I want to put up a sign on my front door.....

"Until further notice:    No one can stop by unannouncd!

We ain't sick....we just don't trust you around our toilet paper....."

In my life time......I have been through rationing.....but never lock-down!!!!  Where my kids threaten me if I leave the house.....oh well......suck it up cupcake.....this too will pass.

I feel this is going to be a ......long.....spring~and I know it is God's plan?????

ALL ALONE.....

I love this picture.......This is me doing Retail Therapy......on my last leg.....in empty stores.....how long will this last?   God only knows....and he won"t tell.....

The only time I saw empty shelves was in Warsaw.....many years ago......and as I.....a tourist was standing in line to get some bread and cheese....available to many hungry people.......did not realize the panic these wonderful people felt as we do about ..."toilet paper" today!....I am thinking about having a "beday".....have no idea how to spell it....I am not French......they don't need paper!......My darling neighbor.....Honh...... brought me 8 rolls yesterday and 8 for Bray from COSTCO......plus a huge stake and mac an cheese.....I have an angel next door.....THIS PICTURE     ....HUNTS ME????

WHAT NEXT?

I Hope the Chickens are not put in quanrtine........My kids have threntened my life if i leave the house....I hope the Coronisviris does not last too long......because I love eggs.....I love shopping but don't  like wearing gloves and face mask  and hunting which stores have eggs......

Things have been hectic for two weeks.....starting with DON'S stroke then the next weekend  Darren's dad and his cancer  was the long week for the kids..... Then Don gets lost.... and my blood pressure went up to 247 on top....so a scare......poor kids.......I have had kids and DOGS  for two weeks....don't mind helping out but sooooo many.  I had  Macy and Taco (Sherrie's)....Bree  (Pam"s)...Big Red. Lola and two one week old puppies plus Lacy.....(Alex's)......Safeway Mike's).....and just as I thought we were through.....neighbor Honh brings over BEAU....WHO POOPED...in the hall and peed on two doors!!!!!

Maybe I am through with dogs......

ISN'T IT INTERESTING?

This day I ask for strength to get well and carry on to the end....We have hit some hard times and are being tested....Why this coroniviris.,,,pandemonia.......?  Bless and be with Trumpt and all those who are sick and show us the way to a vacination ....and a country of peace once again.  You have tried to warn us....of these days.

Is it a coinsidence.....you gave us a smart doctor for a Phrophet?

That you have encouraged us to have a two year supply  of food on hand.....

That you put forth a religious plan...."Come follow me"....for us to study at  home  when the churches are closed......as families need to......We must show Satan he is not in charge....he is working very hard at this time....can't people see it?  

People are in a panic.....the store shelves are empty of food and medicine.....and many have died around the world......Where did it start.....and way .......is everyone's question.....because the world has become so evil.....Nicci called today.....she and Bill are working from home...Pam's work canceled the rest of the month as is Libby's school.....our church, some schools, temples,sports..... functions of all kinds....... ''announced five cases in SLC" now.....

The Christenson's busy putting Bud's funeral together for Tuesday and cleaning out his house.

Guess it is time to get serious about my income tax!

SAD FRIDAY 13th.......

This is a sad day for these Christenson children ......They lost their Grandpa Bud......His cancer came on fast and hard and his pain was great....he tried to fight it....but as usual....cancer wins.  It is also Bud's youngest son.....Drew"s 50th birthday......so they are all to dinner to celebrate and rejoice in the memoies of their father..... and grandpa.......Kenny has spent these last few days with me....I don't think he fully understands what has been taking place these last few days.

Alex, Ashlyn and Mike are coming to stay all night and two dogs.......I am tending Bree this weekend and have had two of Sherrie's dog......let the dogs in...let the dogs out????  They put Bud's dog "CODY" down and he will be buried at Bud's feet......in his casket.

I loved Bud for being good to my grandkids....We will miss you BUD.

MY PRAYER......

Well....the country is going through a rough time with this coronoviris flue scare.......So many have it and so many have died.....all over the world......and especially scary for people over 60.....ME.....I am just getting over the cancer thing....then go through a high blood pressure scare and now nothing on tv but closing down the country...schools, churches,  sports, shows on broadway, colleges,  LAS VEGAS, vacations and airlines.....shelves in stores empty of foods, medicines, tp and all paper goods.  We are America and we will survive.....only God has the ANSWER to how right now....but we have faith in God.....and he will take care of us........ALSO.....we are in the middle of a family crisis.....Darren's father has only days or hours and the family are on 24 hour watch.....we are all so sad......I loved that man......he was good to my grandkids. 

I talked to Les today and she had bought a freezer full of food for she and her kids.....I guess my family and I will go on >>>>"food stamps"......Maybe the spring and summer will shut the germ down soon.

88 coming up.....and this is the worst I have been through in all these years, 

BUMB IN THNE ROAD...

yes...yes....yes.

I give tanks today for so much......I was able to see the doctor again and she has upped my medicine. Sunday morning started out good.....showered....church 2 hours....lunch and a nap.....woke up about one with a fierce head ache...ear.....eye etc.  Pam came and got me and we went to the emerency at the hospital...being sunday....not busy.....they took cat scan and an MRI but  not a stroke or heart attack....... but.my blood presure was 237 over something.  Kept me there till 9;00 and sent me home after it got down to 187....Tuesday........ and still up over 200 so went into the doctor and not wait till Friday.....Pam working and Sherrie and family in town because Darren's dad will probably go tonight or tomorrow....they all came today to say good-bye. So Karrie took me....sad we have to get sick to work things out...I have Ken and the dogs....don't know who will show up of dinner.  It is a nice sunny day and I did get a little nap.  All my sweet neighbors have been concerned......I don't do sick very well.

EYES ON NEIGHBORHOOD.....

 

lOVE my new door bell.....Last week.....in the middle of the day Gay's purse was stolen from her car in her drive way with tyhe garage door open......Brayden found it on  my camera....but she didn't get the purse back......Don had a heart attack last weekend....all his kids rallied around him.....Toni always calls the girls when something goes wrong.  Darren's dad is doing chemo to try and shrink his cancer but is in bad pain.....Then Richard texted Sherrie and Pam ....Karrie has a lump in her other boob and we are waiting to hear what the biopsy found out.....Then Leslie found she had cancer on her ear.....I do not like the word CANCER.....

A GOOD TEACHER...

It seems the older you get.......the more crazy things you can get away with.....just say it was on your bucket list.....or that old people are not responsible for what they do.......  l would like being old more if I didn't hurt so bad......I have two roterary cuffs rubbing bone  on bone.....and my arms hurt all the time.....going in for shots which worked last time so hopeing they help again....still have the darn cold.  This flue scare ........especially for older people......is a worry.   So glad to see March but yesterday we got a big snow storm......all day in fact.  Time change this weekend......
