My computer has been ill, as well as myself. I have had to reload everything back onto my computer and haven't gotten it all done yet, just the basics!. I can't post a picture of the beautiful snow we just got. I have been sick all weekend and am very behind with everything! but will hopefully get some more interesting info. soon.

Getting Ready for Christmas

I'm having my work Christmas Party at my house Dec. 4th. Even though the pictures aren't very good, I've been decorating and putting up lights. The little santa boots are party favors.

Old Co-workers......always friends!!!!!

A few weeks ago I got a call from my friend Natalie,she announced to me that all my old co-workers from the Twin Falls BlueShield office was coming to visit me....we had our reunion Nov. 14. Natalie came from LasVegas, Barb Twin, Jon & Kari Boise, and Rick flew in from Salt Lake (he's wife works for an airline) Thanks guys it was great fun to reminisce, laugh, and catch up. Miss you all and the great times we had, and am so glad you took the time to come visit!

Woke up to Snow

It is quite beautiful and I don't even mind it: 1) The Wind IS NOT blowing and 2)it melts when it hits the roads and cement. No shoveling, take note how perfect it melts on the patio. I would love the snow if it did that all winter.

As many of you may know my dad passed away 3 weeks ago.....he was a great dad. I am so thankful I was able to spend so much time with him the last few years and he was able to live such a long active life. I am also grateful for the knowledge I will see all my family again and desire to live my life so this may be.

My dad was ready to move on to the next step in the "plan". Here is a short version of what he told my brother not long before he passed away. Basically he was okay with what was happening to him and he was ready. One thing for sure he didn't want to be "buried in the middle of the winter on that cold windy hill in Parker", and the other was he "didn't have to worry which one of those SOB's was going to be president". My dad always had a great sense of humor. I learned a lot from him, Thanks dad, I love you!

I am moving this back to the top of my blog, because I am so grateful to family and friends who have been so kind, so helpful, and just there since my dad passed away. I wanted to again express these thoughts! I was just thinking how true it is that "angels are among us" whether it is family, or friend, maybe even a stranger sometimes those who come into our lives give us without even knowing a "boost." We really don't know what truly goes on in others lives (even though we may think we do) or how much we can effect them. Sometimes we may just need a smile, or a quick glance and friendly hello, other times we may need a listening ear, or someone to say I was just thinking about you. I know I get so involved in my own life that I probably don't say or do the "nice things" I should as often as I should, but I do know when someone takes a moment out of their lives to do or say a kind thing to me it means so much. We really can make a difference and "touch others lives". I know I am grateful for family and friends who "touch my life" it doesn't go without notice,
Thank You!

Family....More food for thought!
