The snow in the mountains

I just thought you would like to see the snow on our mountains. Actually as I write this, the snow is already gone. It is in the high sixties. I am wishing you all a Merry Christmas. We will go to Yuma on Christmas day.
I hear the snow is some kind of record in Spokane. What is it like in Utah? Keep the blogs and pictures coming. They are so fun to read. Love, Grandma

My slide show

Well I did it, with Destenee's help, here is our home. I forgot to take a picture of the spare bedroom, so I will add it to something next time I post.
Also Please notice how clean my desk is, and how messy Davids is, he says it's because that is where all the work is done." I beg to differ, that is where he plays suduko instead of cleaning his desk!

We are remodeling the bathrooms, I will have to include before and after pictures when we are done. Today we moved the wiring for the light fixtures. Since I am here typing this , you know we did not get electrocuted.

Bye for now, Love Grammy

They are here!

I think they came a little early, we are still in triple digits here. Amazingly you do adapt.

Yesterday we went to see "Get Smart" at a $1:50 theatre, and David Spent $10:00 on popcorn and pop. He is so high maintenance! I thought the show was a kick.

Then I checked into a sleep lab for an all nighter. I wish I would have taken my camera, it took almost an hour to hook me up to I don't know how many electrodes on my head, chest, and legs. Of course as soon as I was all hooked up and ready to sleep I had to go to the bathroom! It was not a fun night, the technician was really nice, and said the next morning, "you really needed to have this test done." Then said, "you know I can't tell you anything" when I asked what that meant? I really have been having trouble with insomnia and fatigue, but I thought that was a part of this aging thing I am into right now.

I really enjoyed Destenee's slides of the lake with the boys, I am going to try to do that, but we need to take a string of pictures first. Now I need to check out everyone else's stuff, so talk to you later......love Granny

Audrey and me

Hello everyone,

Audrey has been with us for a week tomorrow. She has been a really good girl, and is sooo fun. She really acts up when she see's herself in the full length mirror. Kristina and Scott have a really cute dog here. Now don't tell Freeman or Tillie, because grandma loves them just as much!

All of your pictures are coming up on the Ceiva Frame, lots of them from trips you have taken and your times on the houseboat. I know that school has started and fall is here, but it is 107 degrees here. They closed the golf course for a month to reseed. We are watching movies, reading and going to the mall. Staying cool and swimming every day. Our friends are starting to trickle down from Spokane, and we are glad to be here. Our little house in Spokane was cute, and we enjoyed our stay. Next year we will stay one month longer. love, Grammy

Guess who was here to great us!

We are back home!, We are unpacking and staying cool. Out side it is 106, we are expecting cooler weather soon.
We brought Kristina's wedding cake in dry ice! Hooray Kristina!

The houseboat was too fun this year. We missed some of you. Our little rental was nice, but its nice to have two bathrooms and a large kitchen again.

We drove from Spokane to some place before St. George, we wanted to make it to Mesquite, but that was wishful thinking. Went through Salt Lake in the early afternoon, and I thought about each of you as we passed by. We made it to Thousand Palms the next day .
Our phone is now charged, we could not find the car charger, It died while I talked to Jodie somewhere after Dillon. We plugged it in when we got here. Out TV, Phone, and computer is up and running today!
Love ya, Grandma

Let me know if I can quit all this mental work.

We are home now from baby sitting the Julagay's house of dogs and cat. Puff would hardly have anything to do with us, but Tilly is a hoot. She just loved David and cuddled him all nite long. If

we put her in kitchen she would have a hissy fit, and of course David would go get her. She layed on his head, at his back etc. I slept through it all, but in the morning all the rooms were array with the stuff she had dragged out of Kira's room and all of her doggie toys would be everywhere, what a packrat! Paired with Freeman, they should be a riot on the house boat.

I have been doing some shopping for the house boat today, pretty soon you will be coming here to play. Of course the garage sales keep me busy too.

You can see what David does while I run around.

ow! that hurt.

How is this for a shinner? Actually this is a pretty good picture. It got even worse looking the next couple of days. Here is what happened. We got to our cute little rental house on Sunday and moved in. Monday we got up, did Tai Cha, and walked about three miles. Then I went and played golf, it was a hot afternoon and I told my friends that I would only play 9 holes. So I pulled a cart and played. I was pretty hot on the last hole, but David came and got me and I came home and took a shower. I then sat down here at my computer and was going to get directions to a resturant, called the ELK in Browns addition. We were going to meet more of our friends from Palm Springs. Suddenly I felt a little lite headed, and that is the last thing I remember until David was talking to me and trying to get me up off of the floor. We have beautiful hard wood floors here. I can vouch for that! Over the next two days it got even worse.

I went to my doctor and he did an EKG, it was normal, but just to error on the side of caution I have to have a stress echo cardiogram this week. Most likely I was dehydrated, but what the heck, I will get on a treadmill and prove my metal.

What was really funny, was that I went to the library to get some books, and this man stepped up to me and said, "if you need someone to talk to I am here to listen. I said,"do you mean because of my eye?" He said yes, so I tried to reassure him, now wasn't that sweet!

I read your blog Destenee, and you and Dane look pretty good on the course. Has he tried those new hybrids?

I loved my time with all of you, I am so

proud of Ky, and I still go over in my memories, sitting with him and reading the dinasour book. (shall I hode him?)I love that. Has any thing come up in the flower pots yet? Kamden was brilliant at school. Really focused and participates, it was all very special for me. Even Tyce let his grandmagrandma hold him!

Kyle, you looked tired at dinner, I hope you are a little rested now. Summer school is a grooling experience.

You are all busy busy people, and Alysse is starting a new job. I hope she likes it, and can still come to the house boat.

Bye for now, Grandma
