A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

To my Grandkids
A GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER
Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty or youth or such:
Just give me a little hand to hold
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.
I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs,
Just give me a little face to kiss
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.
For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?
So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, Thou hast given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

Brothers and Sister
My Nephew, Cam Anderson, came for a visit, swim and barbeque with his two boys last night and wanted to explain to his children where his grandpa and other family members fell into the Anderson family. It is kind of sad that we don't get together for reunions or family affairs so that the cousins and relatives know who we are. It takes someone really ambitious to put together a reunion and we haven't quite found that person yet in the Anderson family. Pictured Below: My brother, Larry first on the left - he being our Elder brother and then Kent being next in line. Then me, as the middle child and Mike just younger than me (that is kind of an exaggeration) and then the baby of the family, Jacquie Mortenson. Larry and Jacquie live in St. George, Kent lives in Florida and Mike lives in Fruit Heights. We are all in relatively good health at this time. We get together yearly, I believe mostly thanks to Kent's wife who has a strong sense of family and makes plans to fly to Utah either during the summer or the early fall. Thank you Linda for your perserverance and help making this happen.

Great Post. I hadn't seen this before. I guess I miss how some of these are put on your blog. Need to look closer next time.
