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.

Life in Farmington
I have lived in West Valley most of my life. In fact I lived there for 33 years where all of my children were basically raised in the same neighborhood and mostly in the same house. When they were all gone for a few years the house seemed too large and the yard too much work to take care of on a consistent basis and do much of anything else. Where to live from there was a huge challenge. We considered going south to be closer to some of our children and grandchildren. An employment opportunity came my way in 2006 that kept us in Farmington. It has been a positive move and Garn and I are both enjoying the journey more than we ever thought we would. The fall leaves are beautiful even now in late October and it has been a treat being this close to the mountains where we can view them from a bedroom window. This move has brought us an adventure we weren't expecting in the evening of our life.
