Dec 30, 2011 Last Post of the Year!

My family, my peeps!

My Tuesday night date:

Happy Happy New Year! Peace and prosperity and GOOD Health (most important!) to all.

What a difference 50 years makes!

Thanksgiving 2011 : (top row) David, Corey, Clark, Dad
(middle) Jeanie, Becky (bottom row) Jayme, Mom and Sue

1961:( top) Granda Evelyn (middle) Becky, Jeanie, Sue, Jayme on her lap (ground) Clark and Corey. David was a babe in arms

Sadly, I still relate more to the 8 year than I do the 58 year old! Time flies......

Thanksgiving!

Leaving Las Vegas... actually this was the return trip - I just liked the picture.

My rowdy g.kids in Solvang, CA - I adore them beyond words

My cute son (in law) and daughter at the Hans Christian Anderson park. There was a really goony love pic I took of them, but Dennis said he would hack my computer if I posted it... I don't think he would, but ....

Down the road

Happy November !

Cutest Ever!

Here are my lovies - all dressed up for the Halloween Holiday! Wish they could show up at Gma's for some treats and tricks!

Thriller!!!

My friend Kandis and I went to the 2011 show of Thriller at Kingsbury Hall. We had front row seats and we had so much fun!! Bubbles the Klown was hilarious and the films included during scene changes were very entertaining!

We had a blast. GO if you have the opportunity....

Another Birthday! HB PD

Sept b-days all over the place: HB Wendy, Adam, Dad, PD, Brodie, Hailey, and Carey. These pics are old but fun. Hope all you Virgo/Libra's enjoy your special days. It's fun to have a birthday buddy!

Memories

I was visiting with my parents and my Dad brought up the fact that my mom "can't rememer 5 minutes ago" but was very surprised when she remembered the name of an ice cream parlor that was in SLC downtown, next to the "Uptown" Theatre. Now I vaguely remember a theatre being there when I worked in the city during the 70's - it was an X rated place as I recall...back before home videos .... anyway, my Mother recalled the Keeley Ice Cream Co. and how much she liked going there. It was built in 1917 - I didn't see a history on when it was closed, but I assume that my Mom went there during the 30s -40s. I pulled these up on line and thought I would share with you, pictures of one of my Mom's old time happy places. I can just picture her on the stool, having a cherry coke or an ice cream sundae!

Pioneer Days! (aka Pie n' Beer Day) 2011

As I take the time out to think about my Pioneer heritage, I'm always thankful fo the stamina and strength that our ancesters had to have to 1) make the trek in the first place and 2) to settle in a new land and start a new life with virtually nothing but what they were able to haul, and in some cases, carry. Just (sitting on my butt, in my little living room, with all my life luxuries, watching the people who do the Pioneer trek each year in honor of the people who really did it, makes me so in awe of the Pioneers, who came here to start a new life. It took such guts - I'm grateful for the rich heritage (and for an extra day off work). Hope all you sons and daughters of Utah Pioneers think about your grandparents, both great and great-great and beyond and are appreciative of the pain and work they went thru to get here! I know I am.

My cute Grandies

I got to hang out with these cutie pies for a few weeks over the end of June.... their mother took these pics of them and I needed to share..... Still no PC at home...David I don't want to hear it.

But I'm still here!!!!

Almost....

I've not abandoned my blog....I'll be back. For fun, click on Song's homeschooling link and check out what the kids have been learning! More later I promise.

Still Here....

Just a cute pic of my sweet ones that their Mother took..... Hope the spring is making everyone happy! I'm still offline in many ways at home, but hoping to get online soon....maybe.......

HB Songie

Happy Birthday to my sweet littel girl.

Ouch! Grouch!

Not going to whine...still am not on-line at home....just sayin'.

Happy Birthday CadeyGirl!

This is my little tiny youngest G-daughter - she can scream like a banshee but also whisper is the softest sweetest voice you ever heard! She is so precious.... Love her so much. Wish I could hang out with her.

I like the library....

What planet are you from if you don't love the library???????????????????

.....still nothing

I have been told by my BBB* (Jayme's BFF)
that I need to stop whining about my computer and just take care of it....
so I won't whine, but I haven't taken care of it yet. Just checking in though.
I'm still thinking it's January and now almost March... time is speeding up
for me. Anyway my Ian had his 4th b-day and Cady's 3rd is coming up
soon. It's still all about the LOVE. Headed to see the little (well, not so little)
family .

*bratty baby brother

Happy February

I will be taking care of my computer issues this month...for sure. It's all about the LOVE this month too! More when I can....

2011

Well, it's been so long since I posted.... my computer at home has not died yet, but is basically in a coma on life support, until I let the poor thing go..... Between the holidays and car repairs, it just has to wait a bit longer! My resolution for me this year, is to get healthier, stronger and more organized. My daughter is a wizard at organizing things. I know where my stuff is, but
God Forbid, if someone else had to find it! Plus my friend, Kandis has promised me that I will lose weigtht without trying, if I am organized in my daily life. It sounds a bit wierd, but I believe her! My brother Clark was in for our mutual celebration of birth and we went to see a movie ,
True Grit (I liked the John Wayne version better, but it was interesting: Ethan and Joel Cohen (sp?) are really into quirky and the characters were.) Anyway it is always fun to hang with my womb-mate. The parents and Jayme, Carey, Sue, and my friend Roger, all went to dinner with us and that was great. After so many of them, they are not a big deal, but hanging out with my family was sweet..... Still working on my house (I need to enlist Laura's help) and wishing my Songie could come spend a week with me in my closets. (Getting ORGANIZED!). That's all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the new year!
