I haven't written on my blog for a long time, but tonight I need to share something quite wonderful. Friday night we were watching the various Christmas programs then switched to a dvd that the Church produced. JOY TO THE WORLD and as we were going through the various selections the Tabernacle choir started to sing THIS IS THE CHRIST we looked and it was 12 midnight Christmas day. How fitting to bring in the Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas to all.. and GOD BLESS..

extra Ordinary

Our ward still being new we were asked by our Relief Society Pres. to introduce our selves and explain why we were extra ordinary. While I don't think I am extra ordinary I do think I am a person of many interest. I love music and had only 4 piano lessons when my teacher died. I then taught myself the rest enough to play hymns and sing.( this will probably discourage our chior director from having me play the piano for chior) I love to sing, I am learning the penny whistle . I love to paint landscapes and think that trees are so amazing because like snowflakes not two are alike. I love to read, do crafts, scrap booking, write plays. I enjoy family gatherings( I love my grandchildren ) and friend gatherings. Our RS Pres. said that she has and enjoys a variety of friends. I too enjoy a variety of Friends from babies to the older generation. I feel this is what enriches your life. Heavenly Father knew that we needed each other to learn love, service,friendship. Thank you all for enriching my life.

Christmas TIme

Well its that time of Year, I Love Christmas... All the Christmas songs, The goodwill toward one another.
The religious implications. the whole feeling.
We our church chior had been practicing since September Christmas songs and I have loved everyminute. We put on this big production more than just singing christmas carols. We practiced and played over and over hard parts and preformed last night.

I well the dress rehearsal went better than the preformance. At the preformance people got mixed up with the mikes and we lost the sound during the middle of the preformance ( things that if they were going to happen should have happened during the dress rehearsal ) .. However, I loved being back on the stage and singing no matter what....
I love Christmas.

Thanksgiving.

This Thanksgiving was pretty quiet. It was just the four of us.
We just did bacon wrapped turkey and this marvlous salad,
It was just a green salad but with cranberries and navel oranges ( cut up ) and chopped pecans yummy.
Today though is our Anniversay , yes 35 years with the same amazing man.
Love you Honey

Halloween

Halloween was so fun this year. We had our oldest Grandson over for two days. Thursday night we went to Special needs Halloween dance and had a great time and saw many special needs friends who asked us if we were coming back to teach it was so hard to say no we were just visiting. Then Friday night made soup and went to the Ward Harvest dinner and dressed up in our halloween costumes. Daniel said this is the bestest party I have been too..

Sunday it was our Littlest Grandsons 1st birthday. Happy Birthday Scottie.

What a great time ...

End of Summer

Many things contribute to the end of summer.
School starting for kids..
The spring growing of the garden ends and the ripe of tomatoes , cucumbers, peppers and squash are at their peek.
Vacation is over.
Cooler nights.
In two weeks the State Fair starts.
I like this time of year almost fall.
I wish we could have a long indian summer...
Not looking forward to WINTER...

Time slipping away

It seems that Summer is upon us or is it.
For the temp in July should be inching toward the 100 mark but so far it has been rainy and cool which Iam not complaining. But miserable for campers.

Tomorrow is July 4th. I so feel a love for my country. I am grateful for all those who fought for an Independant Country and for Freedom.
I do realize that Freedom is not Free and I am grateful for those soliders who daily put their lives on the line for us.
My favorite patriotic song is America the Beautiful.
Oh Beautiful for spacious skies...
Oh Beautiful for Pilgram feet..
Oh Beautiful for Patriot dream ...

May God Bless America and the Land of the Free.
