So I slid my turquoise hoody (clearly stating REJOICE in glitter on the front) over my head and located slip on shoes which fit over my socks. Sprayed my knees and lower back with menthol pain relief and found my glasses. I hooked both girls up to the 'foolproof' systemLyndeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12011489568916472118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539846215790470924.post-21764786105760779392016-09-25T19:02:00.003-05:002016-09-25T19:04:43.277-05:00Lyndeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12011489568916472118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539846215790470924.post-78754031876708396462016-09-25T19:02:00.002-05:002016-09-25T19:05:31.564-05:00My Tender Joints and Stiff Knees
My Tender Joints and Stiff Knees
I just read a post titled 'Tender joints and Stiff Knees' and I decided to blog on my feelings here in the now. I have sat in this house too long.

Here I am going through pictures. This little cherub is MOI! I was adorable once and now I am glad I have proof. Haha! I am getting closer to leaving.

I spent a late night thinking, reading scripture watching Sid Roth and praying. Got back to bed at 4 a.m. I may need a nap but naps are my friend. It has been too long since I blagged so am looking forward to attempting to put my thoughts and photos down for friends and interested readers. I invite comments.

Mom had surgery and it went well. It was good my brother was along as it was physically challenging for me with lots of walking and lugging stuff. I am heading down to see her and check on her progress today. She needs my help and I am glad to do it. She certainly did enough for me over the years.

Hey you really grew since I saw you this summer! I bet you don't remember me. Lucas you are adorable!
Judah is as full of energy and smiles as ever. I really enjoyed him a lot. He kept me on the move.
Auntie Cha Cha got in on some serious story reading....actually I read to Judah most nights (4 books) before bed. That was really fun...especially the Maurice Sendak Lyndeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12011489568916472118noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539846215790470924.post-70368285725307569532012-10-27T19:18:00.000-05:002012-10-27T19:20:28.636-05:00More putting by.....You might think I loved vegetables. This one loves me back!
My very favorite pickle is the bread and butter pickle. These are particularly wonderful with a sandwich.
The squash we did not consume were ground and put in bags to make breads in the fall and winter and frozen.

I grew these little jewels in my garden even though we had a drought. I did enjoy and appreciate my garden this year.
Simmering some sauce on the stove.....
I ran on to some gorgeous peaches in August and decided to make some lovely canned peaches and a pie
I grew up canning with my father more than my mom.

I have been working on my Memoir of my life with Jack and then with Jesus. I now belong to a wonderful group of ladies who have encouraged me along with my daughters Jamie and Jessi to tell my story. I am doing just that.
I miss my precious Jack at times. He was unique and probably the only man this woman could have stayed married to.

Our first was in Coalville, Utah in the abandoned house we talked some people into renting to us. They charged us $65 a month and we found ways to make the old place into a home. We were in just before Christmas so the tree was one of our first adornments and one of our first rituals together.

We went to an old stove factory that is now an upscale shopping mall. I had so much fun. From art to ceramic pigs, from cute mice in a matchbox to some small items from one of my favorite artist and then a proper shopping lunch which Lance endured with only a single statement of how hard his macho self was being stressed. Fun! I was even held prisoner by a giant Lyndeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12011489568916472118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539846215790470924.post-64176020907107870712011-10-12T21:50:00.002-05:002011-10-12T21:51:07.049-05:00The Rosepepper Cantina
Jamie, Judah and I met friends at the Rosepepper Cantina. Nice!

Jamie and Judah often go to Fairytales to Saturday morning story reading. So I went along and found they were having a special day, their 3rd anniversary. They had a wonderful day planned in their section which is fenced off inside the store. Ginger Sands was there to do her thing. She sang, dressed in costume, played guitar and had props. She included the kids and got them excited.

Judah idolizes his daddy. I like that.
Ira with Sasha and the kids. Sash had trouble walking at times, she is older and joints are painful but she gave it her all.
Auntie Jessi and Evie share a fireside moment.

A few motorboats and sailboats putted or floated by.
Sasha, Ira and Ashley's yellow lab was in dog heaven and enjoyed every aspect of the camping.
Jessi carried both Britt and her camera gear on our hike to explore the lake edge.
