We made 50 years in November 2012
Golden Anniversary came and went
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.

Memorial Day

This year for memorial day our family decided to meet at the Salt Lake City Cemetery to visit Grandpa and Grandma Chilcote and Uncle Keith and then travel to Brigham City where my Mom and Dad and my daughter is buried. The small children always enjoy talking about their grandparents and Bobbi and asking questions about what a cemetery means. They get the bonus of playing with cousins as well. They also enjoy putting flowers on the graves and then we take pictures together. It was a good day. We had a barbeque at Farmington Crossing afterwards and the grandkids enjoyed a swim. It is always good to spend time with family.
