A WEEK TO REMEMBER PART 2

CHRIS AND GRACE MOW THE LAWN
     Grace had never mowed our lawn before with our lawn mower so Chris was teaching her.  These are some of the fun pictures that showed his patience with her and her patience with him and how they had a good sense of humor.

Step #1 -






                                                                           






   Step #2


         Step #3 she took off.

















GRACE POLISHED THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG

 It looked really sad when she first saw it sitting on the floor in our living room and I asked her if she would like to polish it.  With a "not to sure" sound to her voice, "Yes."  So the fun began.  I gave her the polishing powder with the instructions to moisten the cloth I gave her to give the bird a good rub.  This she did and after a couple of resting periods she was pleased to invite me to see her handiwork.                   




 This is what it looked like sitting on the kitchen counter.

This is how it looks after we worked together to wash little lines of white in the crevices and bolted the eggs back on.  .......................................
   
           This is Grace holding the rag & metal skewer that we used to get in the cracks................
see how happy she is! 

That's me to the left.  I think I am more happy because it is one of my prize decorations.

Aubrey and Grandpa visit.   

Everyone had a wonderful visit, dinner, snow storm for a little while, and just being together.  We felt bad that Chris had to work that day even though it was on Sunday.  So he had to stay home with his computer.  That's all for this time.
         We feel so blessed and thank Heavenly father for all of you every day as well as asking him to protect you and bless you with those things that he, in his all knowledge and wisdom, knows that you need.  We love all of you more than the universe can hold,  Gr. & Gr. Christensen.

WHEN CHRISTMAS BROUGHT MY BELOVED MARIMBAPHONE TO ME.

Image
 It all started when my Uncle Delbert called my parents on the phone to ask if he could bring his Marimbaphone to our house for a few months since he was painting some of the rooms in his house and he didn't want it to get all dusty.  Vida Swenson, my mom, turned to her husband, Alfred and asked him what he thought.  He quickly agreed to the  plan and within a couple of hours his marimbaphone was standing in our living room.  I watched my Dad play it several times and decided to ask him if I could play it too.  He was as excited as I was that I was asking to play this instrument.  So for several weeks he taught me some simple tunes.  Then one day he said, I think you are ready to play for parties, would you like that?  "Oh Yes!" Came my reply.  And that is what I did until my Uncle Delbert called to say he was ready to come and get his marimbaphone back. It was only a few minutes before he was there to pick it up. -----------------------...

Family Motto “ Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we will ascend together.” “ Be happy. Let discouragement be a challenge, not a defeat; an opportunity & a privilege.” September 24, 2017 Dear Family, I hardly know where to start. So much has happened the last couple of days that is important. So I guess I will begin with the one that is in my heart above all the others. I received this text message from my cousin, Pamela, late this afternoon: “ Dad died peacefully this afternoon. He received a blessing of love from his bishop last week and a visit of love from a former bishop this afternoon. It has been a reverent experience. Funeral Friday. “ This is my reply: “Thank you so very much for letting us know about Uncle John's passing. I'm glad we got to see him a few weeks ago and I'm also happy that he is now peaceful and happy. We are planning on coming down. Jerusha is going to bring us. Love you tons. God bless you and help you ...

BLESSED WITH HAPPY ENDINGS

Image
TODAY'S STORY IS ABOUT HAPPY ENDINGS.  Here we see the happy ending to our whole day spent in the ER at the Brigham City Hospital.  I, Grandma Rosalie received a call early in the morning saying that Wendell had been taken there because he passed out sitting at the breakfast table.  Chris quickly took me there and we watched and prayed all day while they did all the tests they could give to determine the cause.  At one point I called our neighbor, Brother Peck to come and help Chris give Wendell a blessing.  Even though he was leaving in an hour to go out of town he came.  The blessing that Chris gave after Brother Peck anointed was a beautiful one of recovery.  I was surprised, but relieved.  And it seemed to me that it was soon after the blessing that he looked and responded to directions better.   After he was discharged with the diagnosis that they didn't know the cause, but to keep close checks on him. We headed for The gables....
