Go to Angela's blog...

I couldn't figure out why Tim was taking 1/2 of the day off today and he encouraged me to try and do the same. It worked out well, we had a major snow storm today and were sent home at 2. Go to Angela's blog and see what happened when I walked in the door...

SLIME...

Yesterday was Tim's birthday; last night the kids, Tim and I went out to dinner. We enjoyed being together in addition to having a fun time eating and visiting. We left the restaurant, went to our cars...and found a window in Tim's car had been broken by some lower than pond scum people who had stolen Tim's computer bag that included his ipod, camera, computer, etc., and his day planner. I wish bad karma on the slime buckets who did this to my husband on his birthday. I know, I know, he shouldn't have left his day planner in plain sight...then they wouldn't have broken in and found the computer bag. We've changed passwords on accounts, called other places etc.. But the best news is that the computer store where Tim had taken his computer in to be fixed on Thursday had not deleted their copy of the information that was on his old computer!!!! So when he buys a new computer, they can load everything he had on the stolen one onto the new one!!! He owns his own business so all the files are his livelihood.

This situation, along with Aaron and Tasha's apartment being burglarized, has caused me to ponder on WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!?!? OR WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO??!?!?

"And these Gadianton robbers...did infest the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof began to hide up their treasures...and they became slippery...that they could not hold them, nor retain them..." Mormon 1:18

Talkin' to Grandma!

Today Ang called and let Jack talk to me; this picture was taken while we were talking. He told me what the cow says and what the monkey says too! Is this just the cutest...makes me feel so happy that he enjoyed talking to me! Can wait to hug and kiss this little guy when he's here for Christmas. Those of you who check Angela's blog have already seen this picture, but I couldn't help posting it on mine since he was talking to me!

What are you thankful for?

For many, many years we have had a small turkey-shaped basket filled with slips of paper and a pen that sits on our kitchen counter during November. The little sign attached to the basket says:

This is our blessing basket.

If you are thankful for someone or something,

write it on a slip of paper,

fold it, then put it back in the basket.

We'll read them on Thanksgiving.

So, not only do I invite you to start your own blessing basket, but make a comment here and tell me what or whom you are thankful for.

Have a nice November!

What a wonderful time to show extra gratitude for our blessings.

How well do you know me?

The site has a problem on the tenth question...if you get it right, it says you didn't. Then when it comes to your score, it has it as a right answer. The answer is NOT "Live in Hawaii". Have fun!

I'm back to work tomorrow;
and am looking forward to seeing my friends--
they've been so good to me.
Thanks everyone!

It's past time...

...to post again. I'm feeling pretty good, still tire easy, have to wear pants that go below my incision, but I really can't complain, I've been blessed in so many ways that I would be ungrateful to my loving Heavenly Father if I complained.

Today Angela and Jack--from Phoenix and I iChatted while Jack ate lunch. He said "Grandma" a couple of times, we played peek-a-boo and "If you're happy and you know it". He put his hands over his eyes and turned to the side all sad when Ang took me, via the computer, away to sign off. I was touched that he remembered me, said Grandma and was sad when we were finished talking. Gotta love that kid!
