SUCCESSFUL POST, HURRAH!

I have been trying for over two days to upload a few photos on this bog without success.  There has been a lot of crying, depression, stress and unadulterated screaming at this process.  I'm ready to throw all my electronic equipment out the door and not deal with it all any more at my age.  Some of my grandchildren tease me about hanging out with the dinosaurs, and I'm beginning to think they are right or at least my brain is getting too old to deal with these problems I've been encountering with no husband to say "Oh dear, let me fix that for you.  I've been on the widow's path for seven years now and thought I was doing okay until yesterday.  So I watched two sad movies and cried a lot.

Okay, enough of the pity party - I think it's warm enough today to go for a walk in the sun to get some oxygen to my deprived brain. 

Lance and Becky gave me several puzzles to work on this winter.  This one was a scene of London where we spent some wonderful days 18 months ago.  This weekend Brooke and kids helped me get started and it reminded me of my youth when Santa left us puzzles and Kate, Lance and I would take turns putting them together on one of mom's card tables.

 Also this weekend Hyun  showed me his new driver's license and now he has become the designated driver in the AZ Howells kids car pooling.  I'm sure Brooke and Sunshine will love that as much as Brady and Mary do.

Hurray for Hyun as he joins Hannah in the licensed grand kids of GG.

Good going, I'm proud of you!!




My congrats to Taryn also for winning the AZ Miss Irish Lass contest this weekend.  Loved the photos on the blog.  I've been invited to join her at a special Tea in Phoenix later this month.  Should be fun.  Good Going, Taryn!

Also congrats to Derek as he graduated from Primary and was ordained to the Priesthood and will now pass the sacrament with Drew in his ward.  Good Going, Derek.

And congrats to Derek, Rowan, Hannah and Drew in GGGG picks last weekend.  You did an excellent job in choosing the winners and did much better than Grandma Gloria who didn't listen to the analysts facts, reasons, and predictions and just went with my connections to the teams.  Papa would have done much better because of his love of the game ever since he played it when the dinasauers were used as the goal posts.  GGGG was instituted in his honor.

Remember:  Have your guesses emailed to me by Sunday morning for the next round.

Thanks, Katie, for trying to help me yesterday with the blog.  When I hunted for a phone number to call about it and searched in buried info online I finally found a link to problems uploading photos - one suggestion was to use a different browser.  So I did and voila found the link I needed to post.

  The good book I told you about is "The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet" by Colleen
 McCullough".

I'd better quit before I lose all this.
