LONG>>>LONG >>>>AGO

 

Long long ago and far away......a friend and I were young and full of life....Charlene Knisley......My summer has been full of trama with this darn arthritis.....and all the famlies troubles.  Cancer, divorce....broken bones....viris still prevalent....kids moved out....alone now....miss them....... NO.... don't need a dog!

WHY>>>>WHY>>>>>WHY!

 

I have so many whys going around in my head I feel lost......Why did this cute kid....now 19...have to endure he cancer he has.....one more operation and then done I hope.  His hair is growing in now and he is so happy.  More prayers are in order.

I am still completely lost with this new computer.....Pam has helped some.....but need Brayden to sit down and help me.....I am neglecting my blog because being lost is no fun. .....so instead of skipping days....I go weeks now.  I am tending Pam's dog for 10 days while she drives with Rob to Detroit for 6 months with Amazon....she and the dogs keeping t he home fires burning......SHE TOLD ME DARREN FILED FOR DIVORCE TWO WEEKS AGO!.....Wonder when Sherrie waas going to tell me?.....I am very hurt. Will probably see more of Pam in the next 6 months.  Scotty is going to dig the dead bushes out of my back yard next week......he and Karrie came over yesterday and got rid of a hornets nest in flower bed....brave me watched from inside.....didn't want Pam's dog stung.

The summer Olympics are dominating the TV......America doing pretty good......can't believe August is here and soon summer gone.....so hot and dry this year.

LET IT RAIN.....

 

 

A balmy Thursday evening turns into a cloud burst!.....Yes, we really do need the water......but the wind is terrible.....love the thunder and lightening that goes with a summer storm.....sat on the porch to get a good view....

TOMORROW......the summer Olympics start in Tokyo......good weekend intertainment.......TOMORROW....also big 24th of July celebration in Utah......parade, rodeo, dances, etc. but for me......just another day.  The Cooks are off to Bear Lake for the weekend.....Sher in Vernal.....and Pam getting ready for trip to Detroit........Robs new job....he will stay and Pam will stay in SLC and tend the dogs.    

I still hurt to bad to even think of leaving home.......all I want to do is hit the bed with the hot pad.....I seem to be sleeping my summer away.....even shopping isn't fun any more......and I have quit eating....nothing tastes good....three bites and I am done!   Who said old age is great......is not 89.....?

Well....back to the TV.....

WHOOOO WHO......

 

 

Like I said.....new computer......have not figured out the picture thingy yet........

I tended Bree two nights while the Panniers ran down to Wendove......but the good news is....Karrie has arranged for the cleaning ladies to come clean my house every other Monday....I feel like I have died and gone to heaven.....In all my 89 years .....other than family......I have never had anyone help me......even when the twins were babies.... (i think this is a picture of my old house after I remodeled the  kitchen).....Patty came for coffee last week....so we got caught up on our lives.....she is a life saver some weeks.

WEEK AGO...ON 11th

L

Last Sunday was a big day for the family......Olivia a blessed in ward in Leihi....all the family turned out.....Pam drove Sherrie and I down.....Alex ....Ashlyn.....and Ken drove down.  Karrie sick and her family fishing out of town......so no Cooks.  Darren and his mother were there..Braydon so proud and they served a nice brunch......pretty quiet without them here anymore. He is still commuting to Park City to work.....Libby's family were all there from Vernal......Such a precious baby.....

 

Help??????

 For some stupid reason I cannot get a picture to come up......so to heck with it.....So much has happened this last two weeks i  don't know where to start.....I am completely lost with this new computer.....no worry about remembering pass words they said......still can't get to the  blog any more.  I still hurt and have about given up and spend my time on the heating pad in bed...no way to spend your summer! Think my cancer pill is causing the trouble.....and the traMODAL makes me hurt worse......instead of helping the pain......The kids moved out two weeks ago .......so trying to get use to the idea of being alone......

Happy Forth of July

My life has gone to pot......The 4th just another day.....church....a nap......water the flowers......today hurt really bad. missed my blogging for a week but the words just don't come some times.....Patty came for coffee......shopped a little.....doing Christmas already.....talked to Jim and Les......faithful neighbors in and out.   Pam and I went to lunch......One bright spot......Karrie lined up the cleaning people to come do bathrooms,floors, change bed etc. every other Monday.....I am thrilled.....I have never had people clean my house in 89 years.....
