WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT?

 "THOSE WHO WALK WITH GOD ALWAYS KNOW THEIR FINAL DESTINATION:".........

"When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want?  Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame?  Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your fancy car?  Will you find comfort  rereading your financial statements?  Of course not......  What will matter then will be people.  If relationships will matter most then.....shouldn't they matter now?"

Off to a movie and lunch with Shirley and it seemed her next door neighbor had plans for she and I to go with her to the Spaghetti Factory with her for dinner.......tonight.......Just presuming we would agree with her plan.......Shirley caved, but I said I had to come home and let my dog out! Seems neighbors can get a little to neighborly!!!!  Panniers home tomorrow night and back to working on my house the first of the week.  Did laundry and my hair today.....tired tonight.

TGIF........

THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY HAPPY WEEKEND.......I JUST GOT NEWS I WILL PROBABLY BE MOVING INTO MY OWN HOME IN MARCH.....MY  OLD HOUSE IS ABOUT A WEEK AWAY FROM THE MARKET AND I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED MINE SELLS FAST.......AND FOR WHAT I WANT FOR IT!!!!! YES, I AM PUTTING MY FAITH IN GOD.  THE PANNIERS WENT OFF TO THE BARN THIS WEEKEND IN THEIR NEW CAR.......AND IT IS REALLY QUIET HERE TONIGHT WITH JUST GIG..........I

THANKFUL FOR SISTERS.......

I am very lucky......I had three sisters growing up and so many fun memories over the years......my littlest sister Leslie and I shared a room.  I was 11 when she was born.....the perfect age for baby sitting and I did.  As I grew up it was more big sister......little sister and not a lot in common.....I do remember how nice it was to come home from a date in the cold of winter and push her over and take her warm spot in bed.....I don't remember her ever complaining? As we grew into adults with families we started having more in common and  have had many wonderful trips around the world together.  I was worried about her ankle operation today and glad to see her report on facebook all went well.....will check on her tomorrow.   Happy it's over Les an love ya!

 

GREAT NEWS;;;;;;;

It has been since last October that the idea of me moving out of my condo came up!!!!!  I gave in and have struggled with it since......BUT today a little good news.  An email that carpet will be laid in the house on the 11th of March and a walk through on the 18th.....so maybe I will get moved in....... in March!!!!  Now if we can just get my house finished and sold??????

As the days draw closer to my 83rd birthday.....I am older and slowly accepting the color purple.........BUT face it!

Shades of purple bring on interesting changes in your life......

I cannot see......I cannot pee.......I cannot chew.....I cannot screw.....Oh my goodness, what can I do?  My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks.......No sense of smell, I look like Hell.........My bodies drooping, I have trouble pooping......The golden years are here at last.....And I must say, they can kiss my A......PAST!

Can life get any better?

YOUR CHARACTER......

I know I didn't become the person I am today over night!!!!! And I know I am not known as a "sweet little old lady".....I doubt anyone ever used the adjective sweet in describing me?  Character and wisdom are sculptured over time......They come with loss, lessons and triumphs........They come after doubts, second guessing and unknowns.......If there were a definite path to success everyone would be on it....... The seeds of your success are planted in your past failures......Your best stories will come from over coming your greatest struggles...... Your praises will be birthed from your pains......So keep standing , keep learning and keep living!

There are some things money just cannot buy.....Like manners, morals and integrity.

Nice day in Salt Lake......catch up time with Patty and Ruth at coffee.......lazy day.

BAD THINGS FOR YOU.........

Maybe I have discovered the reason I am a mess........I drink coffee every day......I eat many things that are fat.......I love sugar.......and I worry constantly!!!!......about everything that has not even happened yet......When will the house be on the market.....will we make enough to pay for my new house and Darren get his money back....will I ever gather all my stuff up again from the kids and storage.....and what kind of shape will it be in when we move it back into the new place.......Change your address for mail......notify the bank, stock broker, lawyer,  income tax man, doctors, dentist, eye doctor, dermatologist, etc........and let all your friends know you have a new phone number......so you can keep up with your social life.  Give me a few more minutes and I'll think of some other good things to worry about!!!!.......seems the hours between 2:00 am and 5:00 seem to be a time I do my best worrying.......through the day I am just stressed.

It is another beautiful day here high 50's......we have not had winter yet!..I know the ground-hog saw his shadow yesterday and we are in for another 6 weeks of winter.... BUT......we are still waiting for winter to get here........

OH NO............

Why do we need signs to help us be convinced of the things we should know?........I know I can do what I decide to do and I know my family loves me as they are proving it every day.....but I keep feeling it is my fault that their lives have all been disrupted because of me and I don't like it!.....even though it was their idea that I make a huge change in my life.....went by the house today to get my mail and Darren had four people from VERNAL working on my house.   Donna and Dannell ( his son's mother-in-law).......were there to clean the house and Dave and Juan putting in door etc.......hopefully done in a few days......I took over drinks and snacks......they won't let me do anything!!!!!!  It was a beautiful day here....at 5;00 it was 55 degrees.  Long talk with Nadine Lyngle in St. George.....always fun to catch up with old friends.   Mailed bills.....paid condo fee.....and did chores all mornig

TELL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!!!!
