JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE.

So last night Dad and I were leaving at the same time and it was dark outside...however, I backed out of the drive-way, stopped, rolled down my window and told Dad that I needed more break fluid in my car. He waved at me so I thought "he knows what I am saying"...(I think that his window is down so can talk to me), he drives over by me so I think he wants to talk to me and then he gets really close to me so I think he is going to put it in right now, but instead as he gets closer to me he goes in a complete circle and drove off...as I was talking out the window to him...apparently, he could not see me talking to him and he thought I was waiting for him to leave first because I am so lovey...needless to say I laughed all the way to my meeting thinking about what we must have looked like to the neighbors...me just chatting away to dad and him completely oblivious to my situation....aren't you glad somethings never change?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEFANY

Well, I would like to say that I am very grateful that Stefany is my daughter in law...I could not be happier. I love her because:
A. She calls me on the phone which makes me feel good.
B. She loves my son like there is no tomorrow.
C. She is my new grand daughter's mother.
D. She has seen me fall down twice and did not laugh once although I think she had good reason to...once in the WalMart parking lot and once in the Bahamas...not graceful either time.
E. She lets me be a hypochondriac around her and again does not laugh...she really listens to me as I tell her my symptoms.
F. She was a very good hostess in NYC.
G. She is just very easy to love and she is very beautiful.

So as you can see, I am very happy she is in our family and I wish her a HAPPY Birthday!!!

Love you Stefany!!!

THANKSGIVING 2009

We spent Thanksgiving in Utah with our daughters, son in law and granddaughter. We stayed with our GREAT friends, Curt and Marianne Lybbert. We spent Thanksgiving at their house eating fabulous food, playings games, laughing,snorting and just generally enjoying ourselves. The next we shopped, ate, saw TWILIGHT and played more games. The next day we shopped, had a great dinner at Rachel's, watched the BYU game (yeah!!!) and then headed to Temple Square to see the lights. It was so beautiful...very cold...but just amazing...we went back to Rachel's played games and ate and slept and the next day headed back to Spokane...on dry roads. All in all a wonderful time was had by all in attendance. We GREATLY missed Andy and Stefany!!!
