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.

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.

Birthday Bash

Well, its offical I am partied out, in a good way. My birthday party was a huge success and I tried to count everyone that came so I could have a total of guest's, the number I came up with was 84. But, remember I was so tired I could hardly move at the end of the day, so I might not have remembered everyone. This was the biggest and bestest birthday party in my whole life and I am blessed that my children worked so hard to make it happen.

I had some Dove chocolates in my bedroom and while the kids were watching t.v. in there someone noticed them and decided he was hungry and started eating them, I don't know for sure if other kids helped eat the chocolates or not but most of the bag was gone when I discovered what was going on. This grandchild just said well I was hungry. We had a good laugh about that.

So, now on to whatever comes next.

Love all of you

neighborhood news.

Tuesday when our Relief Society had a dinner for the anniversary of the organization of the Relief Society, someone asked me if I had heard about Gloria Singleton and I said no she hasn't been home lately. So, Thursday I called Elizabeth Thomas and talked to her. The sad news is that Gloria has cancer. She found a lumb in her breast and when it was taken out it was found that cancer had spread to other parts of her body. She is currently living at Cathie's place. She is having treatment but don't know if it will do any good.

We are having beautiful sunny skies yesterday and today, but a storm is coming this weekend. I didn't pay much attention to the weather report, just take it as it comes. Our springs are crazy anyway.
Love you call, Gma

This evening we had our Relief Society Birthday dinner. Lots of good food and fun things to do. My fun thing was to visit with the lady and her husband who are the Family History people in our Ward. We could have had more people there to help eat the good food but some never come to things like that. One couple in our ward come to dinners but hardly ever to Sunday meetings. He's got health problems and he's kind of grumpy, his wife his very nice, kind of quiet. One lady came who has just become active in the church lately and really enjoyed the evening.
Found a power cord for my old flat bed scanner today, now I can use it to scan lots of old pictures and papers that have to do with geneology. Well, that is all for now. Good night. Gma

Hi, its another sleepless night. Had too much on my mind to sleep good this week. But taking a nap after coming home from my morning at the Jordan River Temple could be a big part of it.
I have now done the baptism, and other ordinances for 3 women ancesters on my father's family and have the baptisms done for 3 men. Now to find more names to get done. We lost a lot of people who have worked in the JRiver Temple for many years, most of them will be working in the new Draper Temple. It makes it easier to find a good parking place but makes us short on Temple workers. We do have about 4 or 5 new trainees and that will help.
Teaching 7 to 8 year old kids in Primary is a challange and I'm a little rusty but its coming along. We have a mixture of nationalities, one Somoan, one Philipine, and one part Philipine or ?, and the rest Anglos. They don't hold still much and its a challange to get the lesson done without a lot of interruptions but they are cute and one is getting Baptized this afternoon. He's got the cutest dimples when he smiles, and he knows he's a charmer.
My brother, Howard (Butch to family), has his youngest son, Alan, arriving home from his mission this weekend. He will find things changed since he left 2 years ago. His mother died, his dad remarried. His brothers are wondering how much he has changed and will he want to dress like he did before he left on his mission.
Well, time to end this chatter. Miss all of you and want you to know that I miss being able to visit more often. Love to all. Gma
