My Three Grandsons: Eli, Miles, Calder

I can't believe I didn't take even one picture in the 24 hours we were there.

But, they are delightful, noisy, active, lively, loud boys.

And, I am grateful.

Allen's Help!

I decided to make bread this morning...

It's pretty easy with a wheat grinder and bread maker.

But, the clean-up is a pit.

And, today, Allen ground the wheat and cleaned up the bread mixer.

Hooray for husbands.

And, I am grateful.

Blue Skies

I recently met a woman who had just moved here from the MidWest.

She hate winters and wanted to be where the SUN SHINES - a lot.

Well, she moved to the right place.

I'm totally with her....

I love being where the sun shines....a lot.

And, I am grateful.

A Beautiful Sabbath Morning

It's peaceful, lovely, and beautiful.

I am grateful.

My heart is aching because of many family matters,

BUT, I do love the peacefulness on a Sabbath morning.

Eating Out

No planning,

No dishes and cleanup...

Just good food.

And, I am grateful.

Toilet Lid - from Miles via FaceTime

Truthfully, I'm very grateful for toilet lids...


Having lived in China and not even having toilet SEATS, I realize what a great convenience toilets and lids are.

And, so I, like Miles, am very grateful.

Great Weather

It's October 26; if we lived in Rexburg, Idaho, it would be cold and windy.

It's absolutely perfect weather here.

Sunny, warmish, flowers still blooming.

And, I am very grateful.
