Scottie Cook and his grandmother on MOTHER'S DAY.........
Where have the past six months gone? What happens in a person's life in six months......some good, some bad. Today is the last day of June 2014......we will never have this day again or this time in our life.....so enjoy.
JANUARY.......My sister, Leslie moved from her long time home town of Winslow, Arizona to Mesquite, Nevada....this was huge. The Panniers were still living in the basement.......
FEBRUARY......The Panniers moved into their brand new home after 6 months in grandma's basement......It was on Valentine's Day.....Sherrie and kids came to town, Karrie and kids pitched in and we got them moved in.......
MARCH......Nicci came home for Pam's Open House Party and we had a fun visit with she and Bill. Pam and Rob went to Argentina on a ten day fishing trip and I tended Bree. Sherrie and Darren went to Brazil to pick up Alex from his mission and I tended Brayden and Kennedy for 10 days, part of the time in Salt Lake and through the week in Vernal. Then an overnight with the Cooks in Vernal for the Home Coming......
APRIL.......The twins and I had a birthday......luncheons, bridge etc. Scottie as tall as I am and his voice is changing......Kennedy has added an inch or two now 6'2" or 3!!!!!
MAY......Brayden graduated from high school and got his LDS Mission call to Spokane , Washington. The twins and I were off to the Bahamas for a week of fun and sun. A wonderful trip for me.....they had to put up with me!
JUNE......Tiffany and Rob had birthdays and a party at Pam's. Sherrie and Darren had a 24th wedding anniversary and I kept Kennedy for a weekend while they went to San Antonio........and Karrie's two big dogs while they went to Bear Lake . Andrea graduated from Brighton High and Seminary......AND Tiff and Scott came by to tell me I am going to be a great-grandmother in December. My very good friend ANN MOSELY died....we traveled many miles around the world together.......I guess more bad news is I am 6 months older, have more wrinkles and aches and pains......good news I bought a cute pair of shoes today and Robbie came by to visit and put a new cartridge in my printer......
IN the land that made me........ ME. This is the land I knew so well growing up SHIPROCK and the INDIAN RESERVATION........miles and miles of miles and miles ......it is hot.....it is lonesome.....and it is beautiful because it is God 'S LAND.....The principle of this land is TRUTH.....God made this land and we who grew up there loved it.......It is the absolute that which reveals and is in accord with the will of the Divine as the governing principle of life. TRUTH is eternal, the same today as yesterday. The fullness of truth related to the Divine exists at the core of every living being......The basic principle of truth is that the mind of every individual is unified with the Divine Mind eternally. We are all raised with many lies in our foundation.....our parents, bless their souls, tell us what they think we need to know to make it in life......sometimes true....sometimes not! Life is hard and no one is going to give you anything.....you must believe and earn it. We must all do our own independent investigation of truth......in life and maybe for each of us it will be different! I say read some Iyanla and become truly confused......
Day by day I am learning the meaning of the words "seize the moment"......because I realize we each have so much time here on earth and it is up to each of us to use that time to our fullest ability. We must value ourselves and take charge of our own lives......it took me a very long time to learn this.....and thank goodness before it was too late. Take self-esteem......it is simply accepting ourselves as we are rather than demanding we be all we are capable of becoming......wrinkles, warts, extra pounds.....we must value our basic package of who we are simply because we breathe. Self-esteem has nothing to do with achieving or producing or even becoming.......but rather it is that all encompassing sensation of feeling acceptable, capable, and most of all loveable simply because we breathe.
Enjoy my face book and being able to keep up with friends, nieces, nephews and their families but it is always a shock when you see one of your best and old friends died a couple of days ago!!!!! This is Ann Moseley........ we became friends shortly after my divorce and found we shared the love of travel.....she was a travel agent and could take me along at a discount as her "significant other" and we would barely get home from one trip and she would be plotting our next. She was a single mother with five daughters and I a single mother three daughters so many trips had to be planned around who was pregnant and would need us to stay home. This is her second daughter RITA who lives in Park City. Ann has been ill for the past five years or so even though she struggled with her pain before it finally got her down.......along with a bad heart I think.. She loved playing cards.....and games and her family. Ann you will be missed.
now I will have one to brag about and show off. Pam and Rob are very excited to be grandparents.......This is the happy couple on a cruise we went on to Alaska and I know they will have cute babies. Scott and Tiffany Horton.
Oh the foot prints in the sand I have left in Mexico.........and perhaps the most are on the beaches of MATZATLAN!!!!! I got brave and did the para sail thing.....which was really a thrill and I am glad I did it.......I really did it to impress the twins thinking maybe they would if I did.......but no such luck......And the wonderful church in the center of the city, every Mexican City has one.......and they have the Zocolo around them......and the city markets near by.
