It has been the most agravating long three months ever. 
It started with the stove going out. after a big batch of jelly  we got this F1 error. 
So I called the repair guys and it certainly cheeper to have it repaired, but the wait for two week until it gets back from New York  to find out it still was giving the F1 error.  Back to  New York for repair.  Sometimes it makes you wonder what goes on in New York? and is it a chipmunks that are repairing your computer part?  So  now its stopped with the error and won't heat up  passed 280 degrees.   Which if baking bread it would take  all day all night... 
So Back to New York. 

 Sister in law passed away went to the funeral  only to come home and the next day take my husband to the hospital  then the brakes on the car went out.

SHEESH ...

But its near our anniversary of 45 years and I have ideas that I am keeping to myself because if I say it out loud it seems to go wrong..

December is coming and thoughts turn to Christ and his birth , life, death and his ressurection.
December brings love for one another. Fun Times.  snow, cosy blankets, hot chocolate, spiced apple cider, Christmas movies and songs. remembering the good times.  
most of all FAMILY !! 

Love my family , love my husband, sons and daughter and daughter in laws.  Grandsons 
and time well spent with talking and sharing personal stories and laughter. 

Bring on the Spirit of Christmas ...  I know what it is and no matter what ..

I Love Christ,  and he knows who i am and who you are and understands us better then we understand ourselves.  

Peace on Earth,  Goodwill toward men and

                                 JOY TO THE WORLD!! .

It's been a while, I guess you have found out that I am not diligent in writing.
It's because I think its hard to share things, wanting to always trying to show a sunnier side to everyone.
 You know times are hard when someone asks your husband how are you ?  and you wait for the standard answer  "Happy ,Thank You ."    and you hear " I'm not sure today".  ..  Humm
need to reevaluate your life.
It is now  June 26 2018.
Hard to beleive that time flies fast when you are older.
I have been working on Genealogy  - love family , love seeing pictures and what the styles were then and the faces.   the square face of my dad  and his grandpa.   My mothers high cheek bones and beautiful smile.

Love Family ...

 Have you ever felt  that things are out of control.  That when the advise come out of the woodwork saying then control what you can control.  What if you can't control that ?

My life should be full of going places with my husband. Visiting my sister and her husband and going places with them.  taking vacations and working in the garden.  creating new and fun things with my grand children.   instead I am still working and buying a new home.  how in the world can we keep going on. to keep payments up.   giving 100 % at my job and doing conventions.

So different  not slowing down. Only being grandma on the weekends something my grandboys tolerate  because they don't know this grandma.
I want to do things with them and they just want to stay home.

I am so tired  of trying to have the energy to give  and give and give . I don't have time  for me.

So I pitty party is only me because everyone is going their own way ..

So gird up the Loins and go on... At least when I have that heart attack I might be just done with life and ready to do genealogy work with Mom. 

Things have been so crazy lately .  Have you ever felt that your life is out of control just by the things that happen to you?


I feel that there is no place for rest. things are breaking down , need to have new tires, people breaking in and raiding your freezer for food. 


The dryer breaking down, the bathroom sink is clogged. My husband is trying to get his business up and running and  we need a Patent Lawyer to give estimates,  We need a mechanical draftsman. engineer.  I need to be home to help support my husband and daughter in the fight to put things together.  Elton does beautiful work in computer design and is working for free for someone in Australia and he needs the money.
AHHHHHHHHH !!!   Sometimes its hard to pick up your loins and go on. 


Its hard to put the clean clothes away  because things are at a stand still right now.
Well listen to me ...  All just silly stuff Mom would say.  Just keep going on.


Sometimes you are just too tired..

 So it has been a very long time since I have posted a note.
Just need to say , its been very good to have a garden again, to see the fruits of your labor.  Or I should say Hollie's labor because she has done all the planting  and watering.
The Zucchini , lemon cucumbers, pumpkins and  honey dew mellon and the surprise of the year carrots in the tomatoes and pumpkins..  Love those surprises!!!

My sister and bro-in law is moving back to UTAH !! .  It will be good to have someone to  help with the genelogy...

 I have to say that I am very proud to survive USANA's convention.   It was and is very  hard work every year but very rewarding to meet the people that you talk to all year long.
