ASSUMPTIONS.......

AS I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF WILLIAM AND DIANA......CAN I POSSIBLY FEEL I KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM???

What do we think we know about other people?  Do we see people's faces and decide we know exactly what they are thinking or feeling?  Do we see strangers and assume they think. act, and live  a certain way based on how they are dressed?  

We often make even more assumptions about people close to us.......We believe that because someone is our wife, daughter, husband, mother, son, father, lover  or friend that person will think, feel or act in a certain way......We may be missing out on  happier relationships by choosing our assumptions over reality.....

I feel assuming is one of my bad habits and was probably started very early in my life.....If they have a lot of tattoos or pierced nose, lip etc. I immediately put them in my......move on category.....or they are less than.....never knowing anything about them......I hate it when someone assumes something about me.....without checking first...and it has happened a few times.......So I am trying not to just assume anything.......

DAYS FLYING BY......

THIS IS LIZ......SHE AND WILLIAM ARE GETTING MARRIED IN SEPTEMBER......

I am trying to remember what I did last week????

One thing was a bridal shower for Liz......at one of Pam's friends home.   It was a fun afternoon and there were lots of fun people there.   Liz and Will have gone together since they were seniors in high school.....all through college and have been living together the past five years....bought a house and have two dogs...Aspen and Rennie..Liz is very pretty.....sophisticated.....a society girl and good for Will......In Grandma's opinion.......which doesn't count for much......IT IS ABOUT TIME!

Good friend Patty didn't make it over for coffee as she is getting her house painted,,,,I did shop some and bought some wall paper for my half bath....now to get it up!  I am so tired all the time and it has been very hot here.

Ken and I went to see Transylvania #3 last night.....he is counting the days till his mission ends.....it has been an interesting two years for both of us.  His family busy getting their place in shape for Alex's wedding in 10 days.....Brayden and Libby will be home from Texas tomorrow.

Here we are almost to another weekend.....Darren just got a new church calling looks like he could be Bishop one day.......will be set apart Sunday so Ken will probably go home this weekend for it.

LOVE THIS THOUGHT:

People who tell you not to let little things bother you.....have never slept in a room with a mosquito!

FAMILY TREE.....

OH MAXINE...WHAT ARE WE TO DO????!

My family keeps at me to do more and trace where I came from.....I do appreciate all the time and effort they have put into finding I am.....the 8th cousin once removed from OBAMA!!!!! I say we have gone far enough!  I know those who came before me....and have made me ...ME..... was not an easy life for them either....compared to mine today and I say thank you....thank you!...I love my great grand parents on my father's side were both born in England.....THE YEOMANS.......which has helped my DNA show I am 99.9 percent British.....Maybe some of us are meant to be concerned about our herritage and others ....not so much?  Yes, I am also related to a few famous people like Amelia Earhart and Humphrey Bogart......etc.....but they are also related to ME!

I am afraid if I start to trace our tree.....I will only find my Family tree  grew some nut and was pretty shady!!!!  I will pray about this.......

HO-HUM.......

MADE IT THROUGH FRIDAY 13TH JUST FINE.......AND HERE WE ARE A TYPICAL SATURDAY NIGHT IN ZION......

Ken went home for the weekend......It is too light to put my PJ"S on at 7:00......I have had my potato chips and dip for dinner and watered my flowers......nothing good on TV.....the neighbor has been by to pick up her mail I got all week while she was in Lake Powell melting????  I still have Bree and don't know when they plan to pick her up......Talked to Sher.....she had had a long day and so busy getting ready for the wedding in her back yard in two weeks......Brayden and Libby will be home from Texas Thursday......She was happy Karrie and her family RSVP'ed they planned to be to the wedding .....also Tami Norton said she was coming......

I"M RELATED!!!

A couple of years ago I went to a Broadway Play to see  "The BOOK OF MORMON" when I was  in New York and loved it.......Now my nephew's son....Chase Ramsey.....is back- up to the lead-performer and will be doing a matinee next week......So proud of him.  

He has been doing a fun food show in California and was even involved with Disney.....My mother would have been so excited if she were alive as she loved Music etc.  He inherited his talents from his cute Dad .......Mike Ramsey.....who has performed in many plays around the valley....So proud of my family.
