OLD...OLDER.....OLDEST!

Old is a good time to dream......A dream give us purpose and passion, and something to look forward to and work toward .   A dream energizes us, sustains us and puts everything in  perspective.  A dream lifts us up when difficulties threaten to drag us down.  Let the dreamer in you shine!  I still dream of traveling to the parts of the world I did not get to.....but actually I know it is just a dream.....I am not up to it.  I love my own bed....and bathroom.....my kids and neighbors and daily schedule....But I do remember the excitement and fun it was to plan a trip with Ann and have something exciting to look forward to...Morrocco...Tahati....Bali.....Israel and Cape Town etc. Those were the good ole days....when I didn't hurt all over and the world was in a better place.

 

WATCHING ON TV

Boy.....this will get you out of bed and to church each Sunday.....I am turning over a new leaf......church each Sunday it is!  I am up to here with the stuff on TV now days....and I think God is getting serious.....Watched the Church Conference today....yes, on TV.....and have decided it time to go to the Temple.......God has answered: "those of us who did not actually go to church.....but watched it on TV......will not actually go to Heaven but can watch it on your TV"......god has spoken!

Another long and lonely weekend....beautiful weather and enjoying my new back porch....Suzanne gone to her sister's in Heber.....Sher and Kar home from Vegas..... I guess....Kids to Vernal and have no idea what the Pannier's are doing?  Think I will make some tomatoe soup with sausages for dinner....or maybe nothing.

Church Conference again tomorrow......

 

THE WORLD ON FIRE.....

I feel so sorry for the millions of people who have lost their homes in the horrible fires  in LA,

Oregon and Washington.....over three and a half million acres burned up.....between the fires and floods and riots with them burning stores and breaking glass windows etc. the world has fallen into ruin for the next generation to deal with......how can a statue hurt anyone.....or our flag control anyone.....no, destroy...destroy....destroy. As I look back over my 88 years of life I realize how lucky I have been.....other than the 8 years of Obama and watching him pushing our country into socialism.....our country has been the greatest one on earth. Thank you GOD for letting my life be so great.

 

Richie and Annie new home.

This is Richie Cook and new bride Anna in their first home....wow to start out with a brand new home now days is something......My X and I started out living with his father and soon were renting a very old run down house on the west side of town.....near the airport....after Pam was born and on her first birthday we did move into a new home on the east side of town that his brother built and helped us get for $20,000.00.....of course that was 64 years ago.....Congratulations you two.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICCI...

HANGING IN THERE.....

I know we are all being tested with this viris thing.......seven months now.....the Presidential elelction....Biden and Trump....fires burning up 3 states.....hurricanes and floods....marches and ralleys....no school, no church, few restraunts....only take out and everyone wearing masks....the only thing this guy is missing is a mask!!!  Just the way I feel most days. AND this morning they announced.....President Trump and his wife.....both have tested positive for the viris!  one month before the election...WHAT NEXT?  Yes, we are in the last days.

 

OCTOBER

"OCTOBER"

Such a pretty time of year....The colors are all turning bright yellow, red and orange in our mountains......nice days but cool evenings and mornings.....Church conference this weekend and usually storms.....but maybe not this year.  I am really enjoying my new back yard.....money well spent.  I remember my Fall trip with Leslie through Maine, NH, especially Vermont , MA....16 states in two weeks.....every state had it's special color.  We rented a car in RI and ended up in MD. Hope the whole month is as nice as today.
