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.

Our youngest grandchild has a birthday

Sam just turned three on Thursday. I have been taking all grandkids to Barnes and Nobles for an afternoon of reading and buying a book. Well, I decided that Sam was too young to go to the bookstore but thought he would like to buy his own toy, mainly so I could spend some part of his birthday with him. Not the best idea I found out. He was awakened from his nap to find his Grandma and Grandpa ready to have fun with this not so happy 3 year old. Sam just kept saying, "I want my mama". We then picked him up and forced him to go and have some fun anyway. As it was it turned out to be fun and he came out of the grumpy attitude just as soon as mom was out of sight. We headed off to Smith's Marketplace in Lehi. (His mom told us to go there). Sam picked the Matchbook Blaster that came with 6 matchbook cars and a round blaster that pushes the cars out all sides. Actually, he didn't care as much for the cars or the blaster, just pushing the button on the top over and over again. Next year it is off to Barnes and Noble whether he wants to go or not. He is the youngest of our brood and we sure love him.
