Let's Have a Look-See

We drove to Portland when the kids went home. The grounds looked like the Garden of Eden.  It was just beautiful. Maybe not my best day at the temple. I was having a hard time navigating my journey with Wes. The train was off the tracks.  As I sat and pondered, make no mistake, I was not happy, something happened in the prayer. The guy started talking about forgiveness. I knew I would forgive Wes. My issue was changing something, anything, to save this trip. Sometimes he can be very aggressive in his desire to be right.  Later that day, while looking at the ocean, I realized that maybe he needs to forgive me. I know he has a problem with, 1... I'm retired and he still goes to work 2... I have lots of lunch dates. People want to hang with me and I know it bothers him.  3... He knows he is struggling with memory issues and I'm not. Well, I forget things, but at a different level.  My point is, maybe this message about forgivenes...

The warm weather has made everything bloom and Jerome is looking better every day.  Keith  and his crew came for a warm up from Canada.  We had a little cousin party and Betty loved playing with the girls. Keith's girls are crazy for babies.  The Boise Zoo was pretty good.  A little In and Out is always fun.  They did an Easter egg hunt.....without snow... The cat was the object of their love. Poor Gigi Topped it off with shopping and swimming.  The sun was out friend this week.  They are always a lot of fun. 

What a surprise to have the trees popping splo early.  It's been a beautiful week for a walk. Daffodils are standing strong.  Now, I'm pretty sure that if we don't get more rain, it will be a miserable Summer.  Farmers will need water and the mountains will burn.  Still praying for rain, but enjoying the sun.  Happy Spring..... More flower power....

In case you think I'm not upset about this war with Iran, I am. I see it for what it is. A deversion from the Epstien Files and needless killing of incoent lives, not to mention an incredible waste of money and resources.  Meanwhile, in rural Idaho, life goes on.   I recieved an invitation to "The Bishop's Wives Brunch" on Monday. I,of course, had a moment of panic and spent the next 24 hours wondering how I could get out of it. It became clear to me that I was just going to have to put on my big girl pants and go.  These things are hard for me. Most of my friends are not memebers of the church. I find women in this chruch boaring. There, I said it.   I went yesterday. I planned to arrive 10 minutes late and I did. When I got there, someone said, "This is Lisa Hall."and someone else said, "She was a great teacher in Wendell." Honestly, I did not recognize who it was, but when I did, I was so relieved. It was someoen from Wendell who I have worke...

Had a beautiful sunrise one morning. Yes, it was cold, windy and rainy the rest of the week.  Scott was in a production of Annie this week. I went twice and enjoyed his Mr. Bundles character very much, but did not get a photo.    I did get him as a butler. He has made friends and enjoyed it. He sings and dances. I'm glad he has been able to participate in life again.  My oldest and youngest granddaughters have been sitting in boxes this week.  Betty shared hers with her cat also. Silly girls.  Speaking of silly, I took Wes to dinner for his birthday. He loved the hat.  It was a busy, busy week... Lunch with friends.... Worked one day .... Finished my Lori Holt project.... And only cooked dinner once.... Cut back the roses .... The world may be a wreck, but there can be peace in your heart.  God Bless.... Happy Longer Days...

 I had a good week until the it came to the end. I had been to the Urologist for my annual visit as they are giving me Hormone Therapy to control UTI's.. I go in and they do labs and they renew my prescription. On Wednesday something happened and I thought, "I wonder if I have a UTI?"  By Thursday, I knew I had one and on Friday I woke up with a fever and I was shaking like crazy. I checked my labs online and they weren't posted so I sent a message.  Now, I was having my quilt group over the next day and I knew I need some antibiotics if I had a chance of being able to host 10 women in my home for lunch and show and tell. The doctors office closes at 12:00 on Fridays. It was 12:15 and was sitting here wondering what my options were. I could go to Urgent Care, which I always regret, or I could call my doctor and they would probably get me in, but I didn't feel like I could drive. A rock and hard place, a silent prayer. Two minutes later I got the call from my docto...
