Chef Boy R Dee

Many of you have seen this man. Often find him in the kitchen cooking up a storm. Well, get ready, you will see him again. He is gearing up for Thanksgiving. Now this is kind of funny...you see, he is a vegan cooking a traditional T Day dinner for his beloved family. We get together is T Day to celebrate and bring everyone together. Gracie will be 8 years old and she will soon be baptized. Where did the time go? We remember her first Thanksgiving, only days old and little. We can't wait for everyone to come and share themselves with us.

Jet Lag

August 14th, 2012 Jetlag has set in. I logged 55 hours in an airplane...well, several airplanes...It was Las Vegas to Philly and then to Zurich....Zurich to Philly and then to Vegas...24 hours of travel. Then we got on a plane to Pittsburgh. We went Las Vegas to Denver and then to Pitts. Pitts to Chicago Midway to Las Vegas. When we got home Monday morning at 3am, we were trashed. But I must say...traveling to there is sucky but being there was great. The Hamiltons are fabulous hosts. We saw some many wonderful places, ate great food, had fun scrapbooking, and other things including swimming. We then had an emergency trip to Pittsburgh to say goodbye to our sweet grandbaby Micah Paul Keith JR. He is now in Heaven and we miss him so. School starts tomorrow. I am also missing the grandbabies. We had so much fun with the six in Pittsburgh. Now I turn my head over to thinking of my classes starting tomorrow.

November

It is November and the outside is cool, tomato plants have succumbed to the cold and the sweaters are out. I love this time of year and spring. When we transition from one weather to the other. I love the concerts, excitement of food, presents, and feelings. I love the opportunity this time of year gives us to visit, prepare, and be with those we love.

November 2011

The fall is finally arriving in our fair city. The temps have gone down to 40 degrees at night. Dad is suffering from a cold, I am pushing through all kinds of stuff. My fall concerts are over and were very good. My choir is suffering but getting better. They are nice kids with a few crazies that have just checked out. I am full boar on Primary. Love it and love my new counselors and sec. We are doing wonderful things. My second counselor is fabulous with the scouts. Love scouts...they rock. Wish I could be in their stuff once in a while.
We have a new blog, prep school blog that is beginning to show people how to eat more whole foods. Very cool. I am busy with lessons and stuff but since we turned off the television, life has been in novels. I have read about 6. We watch our favorite shows on the laptop. They are A Gifted Man, The Good Wife, The Mentalist, and NCIS. So nice to see them without the commercials all over the place.
We love seeing the grandkids on skype and we love having Macy come home once in a while. Life is going along. The bishop had a fireside last night...communications. Dad was in bed, I was there and we need to have that conversation. Be sure and ask your spouse how things were dealt with in their home and then compare your homelife with that. Communication is tricky but good.
Off to my next lessons....Happy Halloween...I am a witch today.
Not like any other day of course...

2011 School has begun

We have started the new school year here at Dixie Middle and Tonaquint Intermediate. The kids have their violins, the basses are loaded, and the year has one week under it's belt. There are some great kids and the few Yahoo's that make life interesting.
I spent the weekend grading papers from the violin pass out last week and now caught up to start teaching again.
Stephen has adjusted to his new schedule of Weekends at the DC and we are so glad he sleeps nights again. Although, he does get in my way of taking over the whole bed...
We are turning off the TV in two weeks and shutting down the phone, the bug man, the storage unit, gleaning out the garage and stuff so we can cut down on expenses and hit the debt ceiling this year.
We have had a great year marrying off Lindsay, gaining two granddaughters, a son in law, and a gun cabinet....hello! We miss them but Macy says she is spending next summer in Germany with her sister and her new family.
I will just teach lessons and trying to understand the Primary better. We have our Sacrament Meeting Presentation in one month...so glad to see it coming. The kids know the songs and they are just darling. Primary has been good and I am learning alot about myself.
Spent the summer doing emotional clearings in the emotion code and naet. It has calmed down my sugar addiction substantially.
We are doing well and staying close to the spirit...
We love our grandchildren and wish they were here. Miss them terribly. But we love skype. Yesterday I was gone from the house all day and missed Alorah's birthday. Hope she is glad to be 9...It is a great age and she is ready for school. We have a book coming to her and getting ready to make some great christmas gifts this year with the excess material we have.
All in all, with the world in chaos, we live in peace for now. God is with Us.

Family in Pittsburg

We had fun at the Cathedral of Learning where Grandpa Jack had a majority of his bachelors' degree and playing basketball.
