Alamba Memories November 29. 2010

Maybe our memories aren't quite like this but we have memories
It is late and it has been a busy day and a hard day but I have already talked about that to you on the phone. I don't think I sent you a lesson of life last time. I am choosing the ones I need instead of going in order.
#30 " Time heals almost everything. Give time time."
If I have sent this before, or others, I am resending because I need it again.

Saratoga Springs November28, 2010

A beautiful place! I enjoyed that trip to your customer's house. I love Dioni's knowing there is power in prayer. But it was hard to believe what I read in your last statement in your blog. "wish me luck" I had to read that again------coming from my sister! Joyce you are blessed!
I liked your hair. I thought it looked stylish. What do you not like about it?
i didn't go to church today, too cold to have one arm hanging out and I have been tired even though I am doing nothing. I did get a great phone call this morning. It was the surgeon saying that he could do the surgery on Wednesday. I see him tomorrow and get labs and EKG done. The sooner I can get this done and over with and forgotten, the happier I will be.

Another look to the railroad area. I kinda feel guilty doing this while Bud is mopping. He is getting a kitchen education. He made potato soup tonight from a mix. It was good. I am almost out of everything that is quick. I didn't plan very good for this fall. Working with one hand is very hard. I don't know what all I did today but it was too much.
Rule #31 I had to find a rule that I could use now.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Very official looking lady November 26, 2010

Looks like you know what you are doing. After the trip and getting back, I had forgotten about the list of Life Lessons that I was going to send with every blog.
#4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

Now you will have to cross out parents an put in sisters. Any way stay well! I talked to Kenny and he has been having dizzy spells, feet problems and several colds this winter. I think I am feeling better. It is only the 3rd day since my fall---Another 4 weeks to go!! ugg

football player?? Novenber 25,2010

I loved the way his outfit matched the football!
I still have 2 hours before going to Kris, not much that I can do here. I changed my shirt today and that was very painful but beween Bud and me we got it done. I think I will wear it for 2 days. Maybe then, I will feel like taking a shower. After resting from that torture, I started putting phone numbers in my new phone. That tired me out also. I have no energy! I am taking it to dinner and have the grandkids to put family numbers in that they know.
I think that my body is trying to tell me to act my age!!! At the time, I will take each day as it comes and then some day WATCH OUT!
I hope your thanksgiving day is going great.

Fight Like a Girl November 24, 2010

My doctor told me to tell anyone who wants to know what happened, tell them, you should see what the other person looks like. What a shirt to have on when I fell.
It was good to talk to you today. I sure missed my phone.
Enjoy the holiday and family tomorrow. And remember to be thankful for all things. I have so many things to be thankful for.The years go by so fast and more things to be thankful for.

What a Fun Family November 21, 2010

Sounds like you are going to be so busy right up to Christmas! I only have one more picture session to do and it won't take much time. I remember the days though when I was in the dark room nearly every night to all hours. My dark room finally looks presentable. I hope to sell that one enlarger soon. I gave my cell number to the one person who was interested and then lost my phone. Maybe my phone will come in tomorrow. I also hope to start my exercise program tomorrow.
I am sure Dioni sang just as good today as she did when we were there. She is amazing
I hope you found everything after we left. If not, we will just blame it on Katie. We are getting all the clouds that we were getting in Utah, can't see the mountains quite as good, nor the snow but we are getting lots of rain and cold. Looks like we left your area at the right time. It looks like real snow and real cold.

Good to hear from you tonight. It sounded like you were back in the rat race. I am almost unpacked but not in my routine yet. We are having cold wet weather now. Bud and I went to the art museum today. They had the big opening of the new modern building that they had added to the old. The opening was on 10.10.10. I didn't go then, too many people. Today was much nicer.
Get some rest. I am so glad you had a wonderful time on your trip. I enjoyed mine to your house

Scripture time November18 .2010

Thank you so much for having us between your sickness and your trip. I enjoyed being there and I didn't get sick! The concert was great! The snow was great! I was glad to see Diani's program. You have so much going on. Maybe too much! And your Utah family, maybe too close but so great to have! Everything was just great, I haven't gotten into the program of anything since I have been home but hope to get started soon. Can you believe that it is almost thanksgiving?? I found out that Kris is going to do thanksgiving, her last holiday dinner.
I am so glad you enjoyed your trip. That had to be a dream vacation. I hope you make it next year. It makes working hard worth it! I enjoyed Rod's blackberry jam. I was going to save mine but I had to have it when I got home.
My bone denisty wasn't as good as I hoped--- called mild osteopenia. Recommend taking 1500 mg of calcium and 800-1200IU of vitamin D every day.
Take a few days to relax when you get home. Our storm is coming in this weekend and you said yours would be on sunday. Hope your garbage cans are ok.

Marcus November 4,2010

Marcus and I had a nice lunch and doing pictures. He couldn't think of anything he wanted to go shopping for. Only thing he needed was gas for his car. I didn't think that was much a present but after giving it some thought I thought that was an excellent gift for a teenage boy without a job , but had a car that couldn't go anywhere without gas. So I took him home and said meet me at Costco. I was very low on gas also. So we both got gas!
I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. I tried to wait until got back from your house but it needs a trim pretty bad.
I have been eating my problems into extra pounds this week. I hope it stops when my problems stop.
Life Lesson #3
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone...
Can you believe that????

Andrea 15 November 1, 2010

Today was my afternoon with Andrea. We went to Subway to eat. I am glad she graduated from McDonalds. That was quite a few years ago tho. We went to the nursery and my back yard to do pictures. We got some good ones. Not as many good ones from the nursery as I thought we would. This one is from the nursery. We went shopping for UGG like boots. I got mine at Costco 5 years ago. We went there first and they had them. Sure made shopping easy. She was very excited also!
Rule # 2: When in doubt, just take the next small step.
