Some Family Photos

We still try to get together every Sunday for dinner. Some of the kids still make it home.
























Summer 2007 photo. Photo of my Grandson Joshua and my sons Jon and Ammon.
Joshua was still living with us in the picture below, as were Jon and Ammon. Joshua has since moved away with his Mom, Holly, and her new Husband. Jon and Ammon have both also moved to greener pastures, or at least to try to make greener pastures. We are now empty nesters, and it seems really odd. Especially when we have been parents for so many years for so many (ten +) children. Whew! I don't know if I like it or not. There are positives . . . but I miss them. Sometimes I weep (the good kind) - sometimes I dance like a silly girl - cause there is no one to notice ;-) xoxo

This is a website everyone should go to. I love, love this water!

Well, I have to have another MRI tomorrow. You see, I have a small tumor in my pituitary - not a big deal, as it is benign, but it causes havoc anyway. I also apparently have high cholesterol, low thyroid, and a host of other things. It seems to be genetic. Now they want me to take all these medications which have a host of side effects. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to live (or die) with my own health maladies rather than the ones they will make for me by taking a huge bunch of expensive medicines I don't have faith in. If just I eat right and exercise . . . I actually like to eat healthy things - o.k. except that butter and . . . hmmmm, well maybe I eat too much dark chocolate.

I like dark chocolate. I like it really dark. Funny, I always preferred "no sugar" chocolate way before it became the popular rage to eat it dark. I really doubt that it is good for you, even though they say it has some health benefits. It tastes too good! The chocolate distributors, no doubt, have paid someone off to promote their product. But as long as they have, I can eat my dark chocolate with less guilt - sort of!

Here is a picture of my son at his 23rd birthday with a dark, dark chocolate cake - I called it "The Devil's Cake" with matches for candles (he he he!) - Love you Jon!

Photo's from the Musicals

From Nunsense . . . . I'm singing "Holier than Thou"


and "How do you solve a problem like Maria"

Well, this is all new to me - we'll see how it goes

Hi to myself (if I am the only one who ever reads this) and to all my friends and loved ones (if someone else happens to read this) May God Bless always!

Oh! and no enemies may enter here please! I'm really not aware of any enemies that I may have, but if there are any, let's kiss and make up - or you go away now!

I have decided to try this new "blog" thing (though the term sounds so unattractive to me) though I am sure those who have been blogging for years would not consider this a "new thing"- but for me, it is.

I wanted a space to write my journal entries, one where I might be more apt to add color to my "hard copy" journal. However, since I am at work, this first entry will have to be short. I'll edit it later. (I did)

By the way, this is a photo of me taken a few month's ago (July 2007) by Twila Claire. Twila and I were in two community plays this year put on by the Lehi Community Arts Council. We both played the parts of "nuns" in each play. One play was "Nunsense" . . . very funny, and the other was the "Sound of Music". I hope, however, we are not typecast forever. In fact, four of my "Sisters" in Nunsense went on to play nuns in the Sound of Music with me. They were great fun, all of them, thanks to Kelly Johnson who talked me into it. Well, for now I will say adieu! I don't know why I say Adieu, as I neither speak nor write French! xoxo
