FAMILIES ARE FUN

Families are fun!!!  Tuesday October 29, 2018

Dear Family, This last couple of weeks have been full of fun and work.  We, grandpa and I will share a bit of it with you.
Here is how their work ended up with the raking crew admiring their hard, but fun raking and picking up the nuts.
(left to right - MayLynn, River, Peggy, Owen, Willow and Emily.











 Owen and Willow worked together and rejoiced together when they were almost done.


MayLynn worked very hard to pick up the nuts.
  She even took the husks off of them.

Emily raked away as Willow helped her also.






Karen called yesterday to see if that day would be a good day to visit.  Yes indeed it was.   We decided that she would call me when they were ready to leave.  So it was, that I received her call right around 1:00 pm and we met them at The Gables at about 3:00 pm.
What a fun time it was for me see them interacting with their grandpa.  Here they are touching his hand as they told him that they love him, and their mom, Karen held Tommy up close so he could see Grandpa clearly.  It was a very special and touching thing to see how they love and respect who he is at first sight.  Peter showed lots of love and interest too, but he was more quiet about it.

They gave him a Halloween toy that he holds in his hand and trues to eat it.  Their Mom explained to them that Grandpa didn't know the toy was not to eat and Tommy & Peter explained it to Grandpa.  Soon they were enjoying talking to him, telling him their own stories and asking him questions like, "When were you born?"

After a while Tommy got all excited about finding all things about the rolling chair.  When he found out all that he wanted to he moved on to the next thing;

That was giving grandpa a BYU Teddy bear.  Look at him standing on tip-toe to reach Wendell the toy.  Wendell tried to eat it, but Tommy wouldn't let him.


After the party was over Grandpa wanted to hold his glass all by himself .
He was a little bit awake and would respond to her sometimes.
MaCarmen came last week also bringing her 7 month old baby, Thomas Juan, with her.  We  had a sweet time with her also.
She took me out to Dinner at Peach City Ice Cream and then to see Wendell. 





Little Tommy soon spotted a bottle fillesd with tiny toys, and it didn't take long for him to reach for it .
These little Cuties were the star attraction for all the children who were with us these three times as they played with the toys down stairs.  What message are they sending to all of us right now?

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....
