Kristi and Mike's House in Henderson, Nev

On our way from Utah to California we stayed a couple nights at the Stewart Home.

Tanner and Marissa's baby Cohen pulls on Molly's hair.

Linda talks to Cohen while his Mom Marissa holds on to him.

Gary, Molly, Ryan, Kristi, Brynn and Mike in their beautiful remodeled kitchen.  

Linda looks like she is playing with Cohen's blocks!

All the children love boots and Kristi has a cute way of displaying them.

 

Molly looked so cute dressed like one of the Hocus Pocus witches for Halloween. 

Fun Fall in Big Bear for the Masseys

Big Bear is a fun place in the fall.  We used to spend Thanksgiving there quite often.

Nothing like falling leaves to play in.

So cute.

Farewell to Janet

 Julie Thayne invited relatives over to say Goodbye to me on Friday at 1:30 PM.  Molly and her boys, Julie and Morgan, Marilyn and Jeanne, Steve, Doug and Debbie, Tami were there.  Julie had brought acacia bowls etc and water and everyone chatted.  Julie made the card above and it fit the fridge door.

In the pictures above I was 15 months, 6, Jr Hi, High School and College age.

Molly came to my room and decided she would take the table and chairs either for her Mom or herself.  She took 3 chairs home that day.

It was very sweet of Julie and everyone was very kind.

My Blog is Helpful, Happier Times

 I have been so down thinking over and over about the situation with Marilyn and Debbie.  How they can think the way they do is just so unbelievable to me that it makes me feel really bad.  But last night I felt energetic enough to get back to my job of putting pix on my blogs from books I am getting rid of.

And surprisingly as I read some posts of my experiences and what I gained from them and what other people thanked me for and wrote to me I felt really inspired to overcome these negative feelings and just be thankful for so many other things.  I do not need to be around Marilyn, she lives in her own little world and I have very different activities in my life.  She just repeats pat phrases and really does not know what she is talking about and it is more interesting to talk to others anyway and I am busy with my projects anyway.  I believe she knows the truth and just will not overthink what Debbie tells her and I might say something unkind and no need for that.

Carole had to go in yesterday because her blood pressure was over 200 and they have had a hard time gettihng it down.  This morning she has done several tests so anxious to hear how she comes out.

I just found a podcast that is made just for me.  For curious people and I have already learned alot of very interesting things.  For instance there is now in place a hotline for mental health.  Instead of calling the police who do not have the skills and just put more negativism on whatever problem there is, you can call 988 and get professionals to talk to and try to help with talk and resources.  We are to spread the word.

I was having such leg aches just above my knees but I finally decided that I have been watching so much tv while not feeling well and the rocking chair I sit in does not have any pillows to heighten it and so it is too low and as I get up and down a lot the pressure is on my legs in that very spot every time I get up.  Need to let Sadie have the rocker and sit some other way!!!

I also learned why I probably do not gain weight from my eating, I definitely do intermittent fasting just because my body wants to and it helps.

Call Me Curious is the new podcast I am listening to.  There is another one I liked earlier which was also a lot of facts about curious things but I cannot find the title yet.

This is a good memory of a happier time and I loved the way my house looked inside at Christmas.  I will never have that again.  My eye that always irritates me looks bad in this picture way back then in 2012 or so.

Ro and Cal get acquainted

 Kelly's Rowan and Amy's Calvin.  Ro is wearing his new helmet to reshape the head from birth canal too long and it looks like Calvin's eyes might be blue.  We will see. Cute little guys though.

Kham

Such a cutie with those big brown eyes and curly hair!!!

 As one curly head to another Melissa is feeding Kham something.  Thanks to Mitch for the pictures.

Stewarts at the Wyoming Ranch!

All the smiling faces!

 The baby Molly is all grown up!

Everyone has sunbleached hair, oh for the days at the beach...only for the young.

Silver Gate Cabin

You can see the edge of the new deck Randy built with lumber sent brought by Debbie that belonged to her son.  It will have rails and staining added next summer.

This green rug disappeared and another was left but nobody knows who did it????

I wish Carole had taken more pictures but she said the cabin is really looking beautiful.

That is the Glendive throw that Myrna gave me that I sent up.  Carole gave the snowshoes to Mom and Dad before she was married.

Brian's picture that I wanted to replace the old store picture of the fisherman supposedly that looked 

like Dad was instead put above a door with a light shining on it.  The children are all so in love with the old picture they want to keep it on the fireplace.

Carole said when she hung the picture Richard gave me in the bluish grey colors of the horse and barn, etc to remind me of Montana, she said she was laughing thinking it was probably to remind me of how nice I had it not living in Montana!!!!

She placed the bear lamps in various places and used the comfy fleece throw I sent up to curl up in while she read books as the others played outside in the elements.

Love the new cabinets!
