Today, Wednesday, I have been going through the stuff that has been stuffed into closets, boxes and other wierd things. I have found treasures and odds and ends. A lot of the odds and ends will be either tossed or D.I.'d.
Jeanne sent me a few pictures of the basement apartment she found and it looks okay. I am going up there to check it out this weekend after they get back from their day trip to Yellowstone Park. Its a good time to go into the park if you want to see some baby bison and possibly other animals that go up to the higher elevations in the summer.
Jeremy asked if his younger brother could share the house and I told him yes, as long as the place is taken care of. They can share expenses and that will help both of them.
I had a nice long chat with my friend, Vivian, who lives in Oregon. She really loves it up there and likes the milder weather along the coast. I may have to go visit her sometime this year, its only across Idaho and Oregon, not a bad trip.
Thats the up date for now, back to cleaning out closets and such. Love you all and appreciate all the support I get from family and friends. soon to be Gypsy GMA

Decisions have been made.

After consulting with many people and praying a lot I am now calling my self Gypsy Grandma. I will begin putting into place what requires being done to move out of my house. At first I will store most of my stuff in two rooms in the basement. Some furniture I will leave for Jeremy to use. We still have things to decide on and I have much to do.
My friend, Margarite, went home today after staying with me since Tuesday afternoon after her back surgery. It was fun to see her getting stronger daily and to see how she reacted to being able to move without major pain. I felt the same after my knee surgery.

I have now gone about a month without reading a novel, the only reading was for my Primary lesson and some of the newspaper. Feels good.
WE had a lovely day today, nice and warm and sunny. I think its beautiful.
Love to all of you, Gypsy gma

Falling down more info

I have been informed that some of you think I need my head examined because I fell down again. The only thing wrong with my head is that it thinks slower than I act. Always has and I hope I can train it to be co-ordinated with my body.

I wasn't paying attention as I walked out onto my back steps, I was looking at my camera and thinking of taking a picture of my lilacs in bloom. So, I stepped off sideways instead of going straight down the steps and I crashed. I went to the chiropracter as scheduled, this afternoon and he said the fall fixed some places in my back from previous falls and caused a bit of a problelm in the tail bone area. After treatment I am feeling better. I promise I will try to co-ordinate thinking and action from now on and watch where I'm going.

Jeremy wants to either move into an apartment or rent my house(my offer to him) and Jeanne said she would love it if I moved to Ammon. I have spent 4 days thinking and trying to decide. If Jeremy leaves it leaves me short of funds again. So, I am considering on which to do. Imput is welcome, nothing set in stone yet.
love you all for your consern about my gracefulness.

Falling

On April 20 I stumbled and fell down on my patio. No skin lost, just good jarring to the body. I spent time in Arizona and slowly I could cough or sneeze without hurting. But my lower back was getting worse. So, I called my friendly Chiropracter and had a treatment. I felt better and then.....I stumbled going out my back door to take a picture of the lilacs in bloom and crashed again. I really should watch where I'm stepping. So, now all the good work of my chiropracter is undone. I had already made an appointment for Friday, so we will just start over. I did get the picture of the lilacs after I put the batteries back into the camera.

Margarite is here for a few days following her back surgery, if all goes well, no complications, she will be able to go on home to St. George in a few more days.

Love to all Gma

Okay, the pansies and other flowers dried up and died because I forgot to put on the note to Jeremy to water them while I was gone. The grass is ankle deep will have to mow it this Saturday.

It's nice to be home but look forward to the next trip to somewhere. I did loose 5 pounds while I was in Arizona, now to keep going. My fall on the patio caused me some pain especially when I coughed. It's about okay now just one little spot, doesn't bother me much.

The gentleman that I talked to on the way to Slc from LA had an interesting life and it was fun talking to him. He liked seeing the Draper Temple from the plane window. NOw to pay my bills and get a nap. Just a little tired, no big deal.
Love to all of you.

hello from Sierra Vista Arizona! Its really nice down here, beautiful desert country. Ramsey Canyon is a beautiful desert canyon and is right on the migration path of butterflies and humingbirds. That season is over now but they migrate south again in October.
I have enjoed my visit here but am ready to go back home.

As Lynette told me, "you have a lot of thank you's to send." Well I have them ready to mail and handout but have no stamps and no addresses for some people. I will do that as soon as I get home.

I'm still awed by the best birthday party ever to happen to me, thanks to all who made it great.

Love to all gma
