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.

Family Vacation

Every year we try to get away for at least few days together to camp, boat or whatever else we can come up with. This year we were given the opportunity to go to Lane and Cheryl's 7 bedroom "cabin" in the mountains. It is about an hour out of Salt Lake so it makes it easy for people to come and go. Mostly all of us stayed for the 3 days although Sean being a new Bishop and feeling very responsible left to attend church in his own ward. His two boys, Ashton and Rylee had scout camp and we missed them. We went on a hike in the mountains, four wheeled up to somewhere not quite near the top of the mountain (this was kind of scary) and played cards, shot guns and played more cards. It was a fairly uneventful trip, as is not always the case. Everyone enjoyed a talent show, girls went to Park City to the outlets for a shopping trip and some of us just stayed at the cabin and cooked and napped. All in all I know that everyone enjoyed each others company and had a great time. Thanks family for being so helpful and fun.
