Seven things about me you might not know
1. I do not like it when it gets dark early. I am a light lover, and when it gets dark by the time
i get off work, i just want to go home and go to bed.
2. I really do not like clutter and stuff everywhere, but I can't seem to catch up on all the clutter
it seems the faster i go the behinder i get. I used to be so organized.
3. I love to quilt. I think i am about ready to get to my sewing machine again, and get busy
quilting.
4. I LOVE ALL MY KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WITH A PASSION! IF I COULD I WOULD LIVE
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THEM. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THEIR
EVENTS AND SPECIAL THINGS IN THEIR LIVES UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND NOT
FROM A DISTANCE. IT PAINS MY HEART TO BE SO FAR AWAY, ALL THE TIME!
5. I love going to the mountains and being out in the fresh air
6. I miss my dad
7. I love to ride my new bike, take my puppy's for walks, listen to music, watch the amazing
race, brothers and sisters, dancing with the stars and American idol when it is on. I am sure
there is lots more, but i need to get busy.

Back at Last
Here I go again!!!!!!!! I just typed a long post, and I hit something, and it all went away! I can't believe it! As I was saying, a lot has happened since I last posted. I have been to Utah to see my wee ones, which is the high lite of the past couple of months. Mom and I flew, got to see Jack play flag football, and Bella play soccer! Both were a joy to watch! Bella had a gymnastics lesson that was fun to observe. What a great facility they have in Lehi, the Legacy center. Of course we got to be with our Sophie girl, as she turned one! That was so much fun, watching her open her presents and eat, or should I say wear her cake! By the way, where did that year go, was she not just born the other day! Time just flies, and it keeps going faster and faster, especially the week we were there.
Grandpa Goo had a birthday a few days ago. His mom and dad came up and we went out for breakfast. I went to work, and then Brad, mom and I went out for dinner, at the pony! He had presents and I made him a fruit cocktail cake. Yummy!
Yesterday, we buried my dad up at the same cemetery that his mom and dad are buried in. They had a plot right next to them, so that was nice. We went to the cemetery about 10 in the morning. I had found a couple of crosses that had the lords prayer and the Shepard's prayer on them. I attached them to a couple of mum plants, looked nice. David read a prayer form the bible that the union gave my mom when dad passed away. I took 3 balloons, a red heart and a white and a blue star. I wrote messages on them, and we released them, they flew high into the sky, toward Baker first, and then toward Pendleton. We watched them until we could see them no more. As we were standing there visiting, this red fox ran through the cemetery towards the mountain. It was very cool, and one of those " ah ha" moments. I believe things like that happen for a reason. We left the cemetery and went out for breakfast. After breakfast we drove back to the cemetery to see how things looked, all was good. The day started out drizzly, but by the time we left, the sun was shining. It felt good that we had got dad to his final resting place. When I talked to mom today, her voice sounded so much better. I think yesterday was a much needed day for her, closure to that part of my dad's passing. I feel good about also. I do miss him, I can't believe he is gone, seems like there is so much more I needed to know from him. I was blesses to have him as long as I did, but it still wasn't long enough.
Mom and dad would have been married 59 years on the 14th. I spent lots of time with mom that day. She seems to be doing okay, I know she misses him alot, as I do too.
Work has been slow. Not surprising with all that is going on. I hope it picks up soon. On the bright side, gas went down another 10 cents a gallon. 3.25 here today. It's pretty bad when 3.25 sounds good.............Does that mean grocery's are gong to go down also?
So much to do, so little time. All is good here. The puppies are doing pretty good, calming down and being better , most days. They are napping now, just like babies do.
Well, I better get this posted, before I hit the wrong key again. Take time and remember to enjoy life, enjoy each other and be kind to someone today!
