I had the best time yesterday. Pam and Marsha and I took Desi Bryton, and Brandon to the scarecrow festival. Pam has some pictures. It was a good day of girl talk and loving the older ones. Afterwards Pam and I did some trip shopping. Today I go to weigh in and I'm hoping to r3ach 20 pounds.

Okay I tried the photo tag. The fourth picture was Desi. I missed up and forgot all the stuff Kathy told me to do and forgot I could put it in the post but here it is. I know it's the little blue square. Desi loves to dance now and I can't wait to see her (and Ariana) in the nutcracker this year. By the way-- This technogy challenged grandma doesn't have pictures of your families so you need to send them to me. I'l still waiting to get a single wedding photo of Barry and Tommy. I don't have any pictures that I know of , of Ariana or Devin. Kathy fix the post if you can.

I want to talk about Dixie. Yesterday she invited my to go to Ogden to play cards and go to dinner with her sister and friend. I had a wonderful day. I was an F- grandma, cause I ditched the grandkids to go, and I promise I'll make that up to them on Monday. Dixie is so good for me. She restores my soul in a way that no one else can. We don't always see things eye to eye, but that's OK. We have a friendship that is strong and we tell each other how it is and accept our differences. I know Heavenly Father brought her to me and I am go thankful for it. Sometimes, my life is very lonely and Dixie fixes that. It's always been hard for me to make good friends, (I'm just not like you Kathy). It seems over the years I'm lucky if I have one really good friend. I always have lots of "sort of"
friends, but can't really count on them for anything. One of my biggest things is I get a good friendship going and then that person moves away. Then I have to start again. For the first time in years (since Julie moved) I have someone I can talk to and go have fun with. Don't get me wrong, I love Gary but he is who he is and I can't change that. He isn't good at being my sounding board, or wanting to "go out and play"

OK. I am totally lost here. I have no idea how to make the picture smaller. I don't think I have any current pictures of my grandkids and would like to put one of each of them here. My big news for today is I think I can get away this afternoon to change the oil on the car and go to the bank. NOt much of a yahoo but I've waited all week to do that.
