I know that I am late sharing this news with family but MY NEPHEW STEVEN GODFREY IS GETTING MARRIED - - - WOW AND DOUBLE WOW. He is marrying a girl from Canada and they met on the internet. I think Steve is happy about this but I am not sure about Elaine, she really has her hands full taking care of Kathi and preparing for an open house on the 8th of November. We are all hoping that Kathi will make it. Katy is going to Boston, Mass. on a mission and she leaves on Dec. 1st. Katy is Kathi's daughter so Elaine has been preparing her for this mission. I really have an appreciation for all that Elaine is doing and keeping Steve cheered up.
This is rather a sober blog but I just have my moments. Penni and Patti and I attended the Jordan River Temple last Wednesday (I think that was the day) or was it Thursday anyway that is an oasis from all of the trials that we are facing.
Today the news of the wildfires in Southern California are really frightening. We need to be prepared at all times.
Enough of the sad stuff I am really glad for my family and this is such a wonderful way to keep in touch. When I read your blogs I am always amazed at how you post such cute pictures and have such wonderful ways of expressing yourselves.
Today I am glued to the TV watching the news about the places that I love being burned but knowing how strong my family is they WILL BE OKAY. I will have a more cheerful blog when I get my colon????? test done tomorrow. I am such a boob. They had better give me a "I don't give a DA!!!! OR DARN PILL" quickly before I get in the room like Olsa does when I go to See Roger. They make me quite comfortable before Roger even looks in my mouth. You all remember Roger our Dentist. I don't like this time of life when stuff starts going breaking down. MY OH MY WHAT A BOOB I AM. I know my family is a lot more composed than I am. This is like walking the plank in a pirate show for me. Love you all.

HELLOOOO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS !!!!!!!
Hello to all of my friends and family. WHEWWW, AOL kicked me off before I could finish my blog and wiped out what I was doing and I can't remember what that was but oh well and it was such a masterpiece of work.
Today is a new day and my days are always eventful and not ALWAYS FUN! Update on Wendall, I THINK THAT HE IS IMPROVING HIS BLOOD LEVEL HAS COME UP TO 30 points from 24. I am getting to the point that I want to take him and climb a high mountain. I need to be able to list all of my BLOGGER FAMILY AND FRIENDS AGAIN!! Someone show me how to do this or come and fix it for me like MICHAEL OR ROBYN. I really felt like I was cut off from the world. You need to help your poor OLD GRANDMA. Aimee, your blog is great and so colorful and I can't make a comment on it WHY OH WHY?
AIMEE I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GETTING YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED. Please comment on what I am doing wrong with my making comments.
BIG NEWS POINT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR EVEN ONE APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK YAAAAAA!
Michael you make me cry and laugh all at the same time and now we are able to communicate.
The news is so depressing and the TV is so full of junk that my favorite thing to do is to watch "LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE" and I watch reruns over and over again. Or I love to watch ANNE OF GREEN GABLES" and this one I watch over and over again. I just think the way they dressed in that time and the way they lived was really simple but to me great. Have I gone nuts or something because I never watch reruns of any of the current shows. Oh yes I go to sleep watching "PERRY MASON" and I think it is because he is always great at defending and the best thing is they do it in about 45 minutes and justice ALWAYS PREVAILS.
Love ya lots and now you know that I need a lot of HELPPPPPP!!!!
GRANDMA GREAT

IT;'S TIME TO BOGG!!
I am glad to be able to update on my DRAMATIC LIFE. I have had a very eventful few days and now it is time to get back to what I really like to do and that is to keep in touch with my family.
Wendall has had such a hard time getting back his energy. We have our recreation all set out for us and that is either to the Dr. or to the Dentist. My fun is waiting for our appointments.
When I get my self back together I will take a picture of my "GLEAMING WHITE SPARKLE SMILE". While I was in the chair having all of the work done I asked Roger to give me a complete makeover - eyes - chins - wrinkles - all of the little dimples in the wrong places - Etc. but I don't want any PAIN. While I was under the influence of the Nitrous (and that is wonderful stuff) we talked about all of the fun things that could to be done to make me beautiful and of course Olsa and Roger completely agreed with me. When he was through with the work on me it was back to reality and absolutely the brutal truth with a FAT LIP AND LOPSIDED SMILE so much for me.
We are going to be working on getting Wendall's blood count up and seeing if we can see more ENERGY. You know, old age isn't for sissies.
Keep me updated on all of the fun things that you are doing because this is really my most joy and FUN!
We might make some suggestions to our various Doctors that they need to update their reading material. When I was waiting for Dr. Harmon the latest magazine was dated Mar. 2007, and that was the latest things going on in HOLLYWOOD "WOW". Just what I want to read.

SO THIS IS MONDAY!!!
Hi everyone, I am still here and hopefully a little bit sane. This has been a day of very much STRESS AND CONFUSION all due to my blogging experience or should I say blogging inexperience. I hope that things will be restored on my blogger or ----I don't know what I will do. I love your comments and look forward to them and when I can again read them I will feel a lot better. Thanks to Kimberly I think maybe I have restored some of the stuff. Another thing I don't know how they got so messed up except for THAT PERSON CALLED NOBODY!!
Last night on the news there was one segment on plants and how they can be so dangerous and one is called "SALVIA NEMOROSA "BLUE HILL" a perennial. Evidently Kids have found out about this plant and have been drying it and, I think smoking it. It is very dangerous just like a lot of drugs that give you a "High" and it has been known to kill. Welllllll the bottom line to this is I bought one last spring and planted it in a planter and it is out on my front porch in a pot and it is BEAUTIFUL JUST LIKE MARIJUANA . You know these plants are beautiful and so very dangerous and I know that we have kids around in the neighborhood if they found out about this would be picking this plant and drying it and it would be terrible.
What a dumb, dumb I am and that would be my fault. I have all of the indications that I should have moved. Other than that ALL IS WELL.
The plant is beautiful though and doing so well. Hey don't report me to the narcotics division I am too old to go to jail. You never know what thing is going to take place from day to day. We also have a comfry plant and that is super dangerous if used as a tea. Just use it for external use. I seem to know how to pick flowers. Other than that this seems to be a typical Monday except I didn't have to work today. Love ya.
P.S. We have tried to get rid of the comfry plant and even dug it up and it just keeps coming back bigger and healthier.

WHAT A DAY!!!!
Well today for a new adventure, I went to my DENTIST ROGER. We arrived there at 9 am this morning. I had an ache in the pit of my stomach and I didn't sleep well last night because I hate dental work done on me and I have always hated it. Olsa took me right back and sat me in the back room where all of the gadgets are and best of all the GAS. Roger asked me if I wanted to see if he filled the front tooth if that would be enough, WELL we both knew that this wouldn't be good enough. My mouth hasn't been right since I fell on my face. I just said give me the gas and numb me and we'll talk about it. Well this wasn't an easy undertaking and I agreed that it was needed so he brought Wendall back and it was decided. Roger said that it would be approximately 3 hrs. of preparation. It was okay as long as the gas was working so we began........My big request was while he doing a major makeover on me that I wanted my eyes done and I needed some wrinkles ironed out and absolutely NO PAIN. Simple request - Huh? Well when he got the old removed we found that I really did need the job done so my next request was I want white gleaming (or is it gleeming) teeth so that when I smile my teeth will sparkle. Good request, right? Well we finally got through and all I wanted was to come home and crash.
Well for a traumatic day it wasn't so bad the only thing is I CAN'T EAT AND I LOVE TO EAT! It will only be two weeks and then that part will be done. My big story is I really look like I have been beaten up. Roger took a picture of me (A HORROR PICTURE) which when Olsa emails it I will post it. It definitely is me at my most glamorous time.
I didn't see me but Wendall really cracked up. I will have to see what tomorrow will bring there is always an adventure out there somewhere. Love ya all and keep on blogging I Love it.

IT'S AUGUST AND COUNTING!
WELL HERE IS THE MIGHTY HUNTER OUT ON A SPIDER HUNT!!!!
I can't believe it I went to answer the door and there were three great West High Football players selling coupon books for money for equipment for the football team. Our boys do need the right equipment but my question is WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD COLLECTS FROM THE TAXES? Also, we seem to have quite a generous surplus BIG QUESTION.
This is a brand new day and I choose for it not be as stressful as some days are. We had choir practice last night ----- and GEEEEEEEEEZ this computer just signed me off and now I lost my train of thought Oh well maybe its global warming.
REMEMBER OH REMEMBER KIDS (all of you) WHERE I AM YOU WILL BE ONE DAY AND SO KEEP SMILING.
Kimberly will be 30 yrs old this year and to me that is a wonderful age to be at you still have energy and don't take that lightly. I do have to be reminded about the ages of my grandchildren.
Please keep blogging cause I really look forward to them.
