Update

Well I had a shock on December 8th. Allen had a heart attack and had 2 stents placed. It was a huge wake up call for me. I don't know what I would without him...wow. It just makes me appreciate my life with Allen and every minute. I am pretty excited to get rid of 2010 and get 2011 on it's way. I can already feel like it will be a better year this year.

Tyler

My nephew Tyler has been very ill and he has finally turned a corner of possibly getting better. He has had pneumonia and has been on a ventilator for a month. He was taken off yesterday and is hanging in there.
It is spud harvest at our house so it is difficult for a little while. Penny and I are missing our friend.

My little bears move...

Bittersweet feelings as Matt and Kersten move to Provo. I know it is a great move but will miss them all. Good things happening with my mom. She is happy and adjusting and at peace. So good not to have to worry about her so much. Work is busy but I have a new nurse who is fantastically great woo hoo. I have been having fun with my new camera so will post some photos.

Hi again

I have been delinquent but very busy. I stopped writing because of a huge disaster in my family. My brother has made my life miserable for almost a year now. I think we have gotten past the hard stuff and hopefully he will leave me alone for awhile. My mom is living in Assisted Living here in Idaho and I have so enjoyed being with her. I have also enjoyed having a closer relationship with my other 5 siblings. We have stood together in the hurricane and come out stronger. We have had Henry Allen since I last have written. He is a joy boy.

A little bit of stress

In the last week we have brought my mom up to Idaho to stay in an Assisted Living Center here in Idaho. She is not too happy about it right now but was not safe living at home by herself. She is safe here and gets her meds and good food every day. I feel a lot better about her being here but she doesn't like me much right now. In the long run all will be well. My siblings have had a rough go of it as one sibling has been a pain.....families can be great... and a challenge.
