Saturday Update

It's a good thing that when I was sick all day yesterday and lying down I wasn't doing so on this new hammock. The winds were so voracious that they toppeled the whole thing over. Good neighbor, Jack, was able to put it right again this morning.

I'm feeling much better today, in fact, good enough to make delicious cookies for all my neighbors and to take to missionaries tomorrow.

A week ago I felt so good about helping a nice couple in their late 80's. Martha has alzeheimers and goes nuts when Lyle is not around her. Since he needed to have a cat scan done at hospital in Tucson I rode up there with them so I could visit with her while he was in with techs and then doctor. I was so glad to give them this service as I surely appreciated it when someone came to my aid with Dooie. I'm not sure how much longer Lyle is going to be able to care for her though as she's fallen twice in the last week and he struggles in getting her up. I do not look forward to "old age"!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of old age, I called Aunt Connie on her 101 birthday last Monday. She is doing great and it showed in her voice. Her memory is still good also and she wanted to know about all of you.

I am getting used to my new microwave and how much more power it has than the old one. I don't have to cook popcorn for 6:00 anymore.

Last Sunday Brooke, Sunshine and family came down for dinner and Family Home Afternoon. We ate out on patio and it was delightful. Hyun saw that my back gate needed repair and took care of it and Brooke installed two new light switches for me. So nice the have handimen not too far away.

In the past several weeks I've finished a quilt top, 16 blocks for another quilt, and just about done with a denim bedspread for the Providence den. I've also finished a cute afghan and more baby quilts and hats. I'm giving one of the quilts to the YW in our ward for a fund raiser they're having in April.

Can't believe day light savings time is here already - I wonder how many more times "they" will keeping moving it? I'm holding steady at 90.0
