First

 Dear Family,  We hope you all have fun with this month's Blog.  Peggy, Bruce and I, Grandma Christensen, love the times we spend together.  And you know that we love to take pictures!  Only one thing could have been nicer for this, Emily's 25th Birthday Party  & family get together = having everyone in the family there.  But we all know that is almost impossible, so we will be happy with what we can get. Now for the fun stuff: In this darling picture are Teddy, Brit, Grandma Peggy, Nora, Grandma Christensen, Finn, & Glen.   What a great family to start with!  Or to end with.  That might be determined by how Teddy does with his new "at home" super talent for making special kinds of knives and other metal things which is a fine hobby.  What is the saying?, "Life is full of a number of things .... that could make us all be happy as kings."  Maybe your knives will bring you that blessing.  Although you all look l...

  Monday January 18, 2021 Happy New Year to everyone!!!    Christmas has gone "by" "by", but the memories are still warm in our minds and heats. In this picture I am enjoying one of the famous New Years drinks to wish for a "Happy New Year!"  And so what if  that was already several days past, lets do it again.  "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Yes, now we are ready to greet one another with January expectations read Tell all your family that you love them.

December 2020 Dear Family, This is the view of our home during the Christmas Season.  Grandpa and I made it many years ago.  It has put the true Spirit of Christmas there for us to remember and share with all those who drive past our house.   This year Peggy and Bruce put it up and placed the lights so perfectly.  Truly each time I look at it my heart feels that tender love of my Savior and gratefulness for His many blessings to me.  I hope as you look at it you also get that feeling too.                         Look at the pictures below: Here is the challenge for your whole family to do: Just find your own family and name them right true. Then look at the other families with love in your eyes. Put their last name exactly. You can have many tries. Then when you have finished send your answers to me, Your very own Grandma, and for sure you will see. That your efforts were all worth you...

 December 2020 Merry Christmas to all our Sweet Family and happy times before that big fun day.  I know it will be a precious, happy time when you can  come to Brigham City again. First I will introduce you to my little soft cuddly friends that keep me company when I go to bed. The brown and black and white one is for Ronald Kay Swenson (my brother's name) and the pink one is for Mary Rosalie Swenson Christensen (that's me.)  During the day they sit like they are in the picture.  At night Rosalie snuggles in Mary Rosalie's arms.  The meals for our family are planned and prepared by Peggy.  She is amazing at turning out the most delicious 3 meals a day plus Birthday Dinners, laundry, clean the house and wash the dishes - I help with the dishes when I can & Bruce helps too when needed or volunteers.  His big job is to keep the cars and stoves, dish washers and washing machines & dryers  in good shape. We three get our daily exercis...

November 13, 2020 Dear Family. YES, If  were going to get that wonderful boat ride before it snows, we had to do it  right away. Rosalie and Colleen went out to Utah Lake together on one of the last beautiful Fall days.  They had to take turns being the one to pose on the boat and who would take the picture.  So you can see who didn't snap the picture.  Yup, it was me.  And she confessed that she does't like to have her picture taken.    I am about 13 years old in this picture.  I started loving physical activities when I was in Kindergarten.  So we were happy that two little humming birds were still gathering honey so that we could get good pictures of them, This time we simply rode our bikes.  It was  gorgeous day.  And the trees and plants still had most of their foalidge.  So we thoroughly enjoyed our ride.  I am so grateful that Joan likes to take bicycle rides.  We have such a good time together. ...
