Yes I still live

Hello to all reading this message. It is general conference sunday and dad is out elk hunting. He won't be back till the end of the week, unless he gets something. I sure pray he does. We need all the help we can get. Conference has been good. I am reminded that nothing matters if we aren't in tune with our father in heaven. He loves us and wants us to be happy and fullfilled. All we need to know is that we are happiest when we are holding to the iron rod and not allowing the things that the world thinks are important, to run our lives. We must always allow God to direct our lives. We need to stay close to him. Well Enough Preaching!! I have finally surfaced from the peaches and pears. I even put away my canning supplies. I'll gladly get them out if dad gets a deer in deer season, otherwise I'm done!!! YEAH!!!! I cleaned the house yesterday, it felt good. I had a sad week at the end of the month. My friends' husband passed away. He was only 59. Kathys' heart was broken, but she is a strong woman and I know she will move forward. She is already planning on taking the next temple prep class so she can be sealed to him. I am certainly reminded that life is short and none of us can be guaranteed tomorrow. I hope we will all remember this as we live our lives and choose wisely the paths that we take. I love you all, my children and grandchildren.

Time to myself

Well I got home today about 3:30 and except for about 3 bushel of pears staring me in the face I don't have anything to do for a bit so I thought I'd let everybody know what's up. I saw Amber the other day. I told her I was sorry that she and Avrum couldn't make their marriage work and that I hoped she could be happy. The boys gave me big hugs and I said I'd be glad to take them any time even if she was going out on a date. She said that maybe we could work something out. So we'll see. I feel better though because now she can't get it in her head that I'm a ----- and that I hate her. She can't blow things up in her mind. Hopefully this will lead to a greater chance at seeing the boys. Life is sure funny isn't it. Just when you think you have it figured out, it throws you a curve ball and you get another lesson on who really is in charge. I love my kids and grandkids and just want everybody to be happy. Oh yeah, Happy anniversary to dad and I. 39 years!!!!!!!
