WOW I really didn't fall off the face of the earth--just feels like it!

HI there I am still alive and kicking!  I know it's been ages since I blogged and I am sorry to those of you who follow my crazy adventures!  My daughter Katherine got the wet noodle out the other and gave it to me good for not blogging so here I am.  This is what I have been doing; no sleep, work, no sleep, university work, no sleep, character development for my book (its on my bucket list to write a two books!), no sleep, moving, stressing, did I mention no sleep.... although for me no sleep is not unusual I would just like to be able to do it.. I mean for real!!

So I am going to take a breath and try and regroup.  I am making a vow with you loyal followers of what crazy things go on in my life (doesn't that like make you those people who slow down to watch a burning building or car wreck?? cause most of the time that is what my life feels like --LOLOLOL).. I vow you this.. I will post at least ONCE A WEEK on my blog!!

Love you--mean it--

love bye~

A mother longs to sleep

 Dreams of an angel while he sleeps.  The images that cross the

caverns of his mind must be filled with delights of lights and love and memories of heaven where he came from. His mother wonders why he can sleep through an atomic bomb during the day but a cricket's chrip will awake him at night? How is that possible she asks me? Laugh I do at the memory of thinking the very same thing about her when she would sleep all day in blissful peace and keep me awake when darkness came.

This love of an angel ... so sweet in his dreams ...  Boodles grandma loves you

~~ Love bye

The feeling of young love

Everyone says that when you are young that you really don't understand the true meaning of what love really is.  Why is that so?  Who makes the rules on that one?  I know those who are grown adults who haven't the slightest inkling of what true love is let alone love period.  So who is to say that when my daughter tells me she is "in love" that she really isn't.  I am not going to tell her that she is too young to know what she is feeling or that it may pass in a few months.  That wonderful feeling that you are loved unconditionally by someone and the thought of that person makes your heart feel as tho it could reach the highest peak of Mt. Everest!

Nay I say to the unbelievers that young love is not real...not joyous...not euphoric.

My daughter knows her heart. Oh yes, she knows who she is, even if sometimes she gets caught up in the trappings of outside influences that momentarily cause her to be untrue to her soul .  Mistakes, she's most certainly going to make them ... Why she most certainly will.  For who of us have not?  I am 50 and I make them still.  Who of us have not when it comes to the matters of the heart.  Will her heart be broken into a thousand million pieces?  Realistically it will and that is when I will take her in my arms and hold her while she cries and try to mend her broken heart.  I pray that this will never happen but I cannot stop what is nature.  Will she be lucky in love... I am not sure.. but in this moment of time she is..they are...look into their eyes and see them...I will not rob her of what ever happiness she finds, because some of the time ..but not always...young love lasts forever....and her smile and joy at this moment makes her mother happy... because her smile is more brilliant than the aurora borealis... So be joyful my sweet angel with your young love and know that life is as glorious as you feel right now..capture these memories in your heart..these moments that you will treasure forever because there really is nothing like ~~ your first true love~~~~

love bye~~~

Everett Comes To See Us

What joys and blessings are family has had this year!!
Another beautiful baby has come to live and brighten our world!
Everett James Beazer the son of my daughter Katherine and son in law Shelby.
The day began with excitement on the Monday.  I was in Preston visiting with TJ, Lindsay and our Kirtlynn
for the weekend.  The morning was crisp and cold like fall was rapidly approaching.
The clouds low and misty, hovering over the mountains like a pristine highland morning.
The mountain caps dusted with the first snow of the year.  Yes it was August, but this was Everett's arrival day and he was letting the world know that he would be the ruler of these mountains!
As I drove through Sardine canyon from Logan to Ogden the smell of the storm filled my breath.

So began the wait... the pain....my beautiful daughter so strong so brave...so amazing...she was truly a much

stronger woman than I would ever be.  I was so proud to watch her conquer the contractions that were

strong and quick and so hard with totally control. She braved through until she could no longer.

After hours of not much progression the decsion was made to deliver Everett by c-section.

Within minutes our beautiful baby boy was here with a strong set of lungs!

What a beautiful picture...a snow globe moment for us all!

Everyone was safe and well and happy beyond measure.

This is my angel... my daughter..my joy...a girl who once curled in my lap snuggled deep in my arms, now a mother of her own with her angel snuggled deep in her arms.  Life is a measure of circles..a circle of love...

Welcome Everett James.. you are grandmas Boodle... I love you more than you will ever know .. I am always here for you---unconditionally---

~love bye

The Arrival of a Princess

The moment that we have been awaiting has come to pass.  Our beautiful and amazing princess Kirtlynn Ivy blessed us this morning.  Our sweet Lindsay was in labor for a very long time. 

Her strength and beauty throughout the event was indeed  remarkable, although not surprising from Lindsay-our Queen of the day!
My beautiful son so tenderly holds his sweet princess as only a man fit to be a king would. 
I always knew she would be beautiful-- but she is breathtakingly beautiful-- a vision--an angel--

Welcome to our family Kirtlynn Ivy Ross you are a wonder and a joy- your love will fill the universe as you touch the lives of everyone you come in contact with.  Welcome my love--welcome my darling---This is the face of purity of love of innocence----

I am a proud grandma of this sweet beautiful bundle of joy and will spend my life loving her and teaching her

all the amazing things that I know.  I look forward to the times when she and I share in garden parties and dress up-reading books under a shady oak tree-learning about the adventures of Fats Watson and Kristina Katrina and the box or Earl in Earl's too cool for me- her daddy's favorite childhood books.

Welcome Kirtlynn Ivy my wee bunny--grandma's sweet love-welcome

It’s time for a catch up-


I have been crazy busy with the move.

I was reflecting last night on how many times I have moved in my 50 years on

earth….ready for this!!! I have moved a grand total of 28 times since I was born.

You would think that at 50years of age I would be settled.

I didn’t imply that I am not stable- I am just not settled. There

is a HUGE difference. Some people say change is good. I say

Too much change is a headache. I actually am really longing for that feeling of being

settled in one place till I leave this world. So let’s be honest with myself, sometimes I do

feel a bit out of sorts. I began to think about all the people who have lived

Throughout history or even the present day that are “transient”. Yes I do

feel sometimes rather like a nomadic tribal member. But then there is

some magnificent benefits to being nomadic. One such benefit is not becoming a

hoarder! I was watching a TV show about Hoarders! WOW!!

Well that I is one blessing when you move around a lot.

YOU pretty much can check that one off the list.!

So check that off my list of things that I need to work on.

Then there is that wonderful “new” relationship feeling. You know when you are first

in a relationship and everything is fun romantic and new…..I think that is what “spring

cleaning” is suppose to accomplish. So here I am again living out of boxes for awhile.

But that is ok because the really important “stuff” in my life---- are right there with me-

My children-

So all in all change is good and life is an amazing adventure-at least mine is

~love bye
