Things going on

Last Sat. we attended Ronnie Glover's funeral. It was so nice, the Glover family has so many friends that showed their support and love. We were glad we could go. We came back through Zion and had forgotton how beautiful it is. So we bought a year pass and hopefullly we will go back soon.

There is so much going on right now, I am wondering where the time went. Crissy is graduating Friday and Satuarday with her Bachelors Degree in Sports Medicine. Scott and Lindy are coming Friday for the celebration. Crissy we are so proud of you.

Kody is turning 12 (wow) on the 6th? I'm too lazy to get up and check for sure. He want to go four wheeling for his party. Thats what he always likes to do. But it's sure fun for all of us to party and ride with him. Happy Birthday Kody!

I have been working really hard at physical therapy and measured 127 degrees today! Ouch! They added some knee curls and knee crunches on the weight machine. That's three sets of 10 on both knees and three sets of 10 on one knee the left (replaced) knee. I'm pretty achey tonight but it was a good workout.

We are planning a ride in Kanab on Memorial weekend. Marrit and Kirt are coming up. I can't wait to ride in that red sand again. Kanab is beautiful and the Glovers are excellent guides. Ron knows all the trails.

I've got to go back to the front room and help Mike watch the Jazz.

Love to all! Mom

Ronnie Glover

Ronnie Glover passed away this morning in St. George, Ut. What a sad day for the Glover family. Ronnie will be missed very much and I know will not be forgotten. His body could not fight all of the things that were wrong with him. Yet, he was couragous in his fight until the end. All of our sympathy and condolances to all of the friends and family of the Glover's. Ronnie was 32 years old and will be buried in Kanab, Ut.

Love you all, Mom

1st Counselor Primary

Not Lindy, not Michelle, not me....that leaves Marrit. She hadn't even completed her 1st ward party today. She organized a Linger Longer for after church. They had those in Connecticut where everyone lived a ways from the church building. She said they had great food and everyone had a good time. She may have started a new thing in Payson. She was put in as first counselor during church and set apart after. Primary is great fun, I was first and second counselor with Janet Dalley a long time ago.


Love you all, Mom

Don't Ya Just Love Kids?

Mike and I were at Michelles yesterday, Mike was trimming Michelles apple tree and bushes by her front door. Shaylee Mae and Terrin were there while Mandee was in St. George with Ronnie and Cindee and Ron. Terrin was watching Mike cut off branches when he said, "Don't cut me, I'm human." How old is he?

Michelle was running a sandwich shop for everyone because of course no one wanted the same kind. Toasted tuna was the main item on the menu and Shaylee was explaining to Michelle why she didn't like tuna. She said, " When I was a baby in my Mommy's tummy, she ate a tuna fish sandwich and I threw up." "Really" Michelle said, mmmm. Run that by me one more time.

Love you all, Mom

Sweatin to the oldies

Hello? Are you out there? I'm not talking about aliens, I'm talking about YOU! My children, grandchildren, friends, relatives anyone? Please write back in my comments section. Of course maybe theres nothing to answer.

I am feeling quite good now, my knee is doing ever so much better. Last night was a good night. I didn't wake up at all. Less pain meds too. Wednesday I made Mike stay at physical therapy with me. They added the recumbent bike and I was able to add lots more reps. Sweatin to the oldies (me being the oldy) anyway it felt very good. I am almost at 120 degrees which is where Dr. Delcore wants me. Endorphins! endorphins! makes ya feel so good. Mike was very proud of me. I was very proud of me!

Let Me Out!

3rd & 4th Ward Church

I picked this photo from a lady who now lives in Vegas. She lived a few blocks from my family on 200 North. Ed, Mona and I were all baptised in this building. The church pew I had for several years was from this building. I remember getting baptised but, it wasn't my Dad who baptised me. My Mom and Dad were not active at that time. Mom and Dad were married in the temple when I was about 10 years old. Mom was always active in relief society and loved to quilt with the ladies.


The primary and relief society were downstairs and the chapel and cultural hall were upstairs. I remember going to primary and sitting on the little chairs, I must have been about 4 years old. The lady conducting asked why we took the sacrament and I raised my hand not having any idea why we took the sacrament. I said, "because maybe the poor people are hungry." I think it must have been me that was hungry. They must have laughed or I wouldn't have remember this so vividly. There seems to be moments of time stored away for such times as these.



Connie and Rudd Jones (my best friend) were married and had their reception in the relief society room.



Love you all, Mom

ATV here I come!

I went to my first PT session today. Just about (killed me) (hurt me)(bothered me) (piece of cake) I'll give you a small clue, it was not a piece of cake. But I'm still moving along.

When I got home, Dad had something to show me. It was our peach tree. He was cleaning around the tree and it came out of the ground in his hand. It had been chewed right up to the tree trunk by gophers. You could see the teeth marks. So Marrit we have our little forest foes too. I hope they don't like apple trees and tulips!

Well love you all! Mom

Scars Like Mars

Today I had the stapels pulled out of my knee. Now it looks like twenty miles of bad road. Best thing of all...Dr. Delcore said he was proud of me! and...... and..... he hugged me. Wow! I couldn't have been happier with my progress.

Thanks, Marrit! Thanks Lindy! Thanks Michelle! and most of all thanks Mike! Mike who patiently got me up at night, hooked the ice machine on and off, made sure I got into the bathroom and back, covered me, gave me pills and yogart at 4:00a.m. made sure I had ice water and held me after exercise sessions. What a wonderful Dad you have.
I want to thank Jaymie for the beautiful Easter card she made me. I will keep it forever. I love all my beautiful grandkids they are each one very special.

I have a month of rehab at Dr. Delcores and I should be at a 100% Piece of cake right? Well I never said this wasn't going to be easy and it still is not. But seeing progress every day helps.

I love you all, Mom

Stretch The Knees Pleeze

This has been an experience! Marrit and kids came, I was so glad she did. I know it was hard for her bringing the kids, but it really did help a lot. She was able to push me a little more each day. Mike has been so good. Cooking for us, getting me in and out of bed during the night and helping with the exercises. Just geting me through the day has been a trial.



Well now I know for sure.... I won't do the other knee unless I absolutely have to. I kept saying how much more could it hurt, it already hurts about as bad as it can be. NOT!! There is pain and there is excruciating pain. I have really pushed myself trying to give the exercising my all, but I can't seem to get to the point where it bends as much as it needs too. If I don't get it to bend (they) will do it for me. That scares me so I keep pushing.



I have been using a walker, Parker said it was "Grandma's Wheels." So me and my wheels have until April 7th to get where I need to be. (according to Dr. Delcore's chart of pain)



No four wheeling for me this Easter, maybe later.



Love you all!!
