VRRROOOOOOMMM!!

Ok, so in case you didn't get it, that is my best shot at trying to sound like a VERY fast car whizzing by me! How did I do? :) Well that is how this summer has gone and my question about the summer is like the question about the car.......where did it go???????? Alas methinks it has something to do with my..ahhhh....let's just say... advancement in years! ( I like that. sounds much better than "old age"!) sigh
Jess and Mike move in to their new apartment in Orem tomorrow. How exciting for them. And Jamie and her family are moving to Texas....how NOT exciting for us!!! We will miss them terribly. I can't believe the lengths she will go to to stay away from her "leetle ol mama!" sigh :) We shall party til she leaves! I am getting a little "burned out" from school and am looking forward to my week and a half break in a couple of weeks before fall semester. And as a side note: instead of taking an aerobics class this block, I took tennis because I thought it sounded fun. I love to play, but I didn't realize that I would get much more exercise chasing and picking up the balls that whizz right past me than actual playing time (Again the question asked at the beginning of this blog, this time about the tennis ball...where did it go? hmmmmm !
I shall end this blog with my one of my famous thoughts of the day...READY????
***A TRULY HAPPY PERSON IS ONE WHO CAN ENJOY THE SCENERY ON A DETOUR!***
Happy day to one and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Good Time Was Had By All !!!!!!

Wow! What an understatement! It was a girls(and I use that word loosely when it comes to MY age) weekend in Park City and we had a fabulous time! We all pitched in and rented a condo that was so beautiful, just like a cabin. Since I don't have any pictures, the best way to see any is to go to Jamie and Jessica's blogs from here and SEE the fun we had! (Those are the only two that have posted so far) Anyway, that was my summer vacation since I'm in school and we had the best time!
We are so lucky to live in such close proximity to beautiful mountains, fun lakes and pretty much anything you want to do is at our fingertips! What can I say? I am in GRATEFUL mode! :)
I am back to reality which for me means school. Research methods isn't too bad since it's not statistics! Of course getting all your teeth pulled without anesthesia or dropping a rock on your foot would be considered fun compared to stats soooo .... you get my meaning! Life is good!!
Remember ; A weed is no more than a flower in disguise! Hey that means that I'm a better gardener than I thought! It's all in how you look at it! :) Yahoo! (I am now doing the happy dance. You should be glad you are not present, it's not pretty! ) Happy day!

Sometimes You're the Pigeon, Sometimes You're the Statue!

I thought that would get your attention! :) I am officially out of statistics and this event was celebrated on the 4th of July with all of the fireworks! Yes folks, that was for me! :) Anyway, I am now in my second block at school and it's not as crazy. I even had time to go for a motorcycle ride and to "sail away" on a small sailboat on Utah Lake--twice! Very fun! Where is the summer going? I am grateful that this is the last summer I will spend in school. The Lord continues to bless me, I have a great family and another grandchild on the way---yahoo Megan and Jake! Love to ya'll---------------
