SHOPPING DAYS!!!!

Well --- faa laa laaa laaaa laaaaa LAA LAAA LAAAA LAAAAAAA. How is that for being creative and politically correct. I only have a couple of days left to panic. We have received delightful Picture Christmas Cards from you and this is such a wonderful way to keep us up on how the LITTLE ONES ARE GROWING. It is so fun to see each family and realize that each one of you are my posterity. We really are blessed to be a family here in this country and to know we have such a rich heritage.

Today I went in to the dermatologist (you know this is my big weekly recreation) and he removed a blemish on the side of my nose and I know that it is really nothing but a wart. You know how we Godfreys tease each other about our noses well I just want you to know that I am taking precautions and trimming my nose so I won't look like a true Godfrey, you know like my brothers.

I love having family come here even if it is a drive-by which yesterday was with Bob and Diane and of course Robyn and PARKER. One of these days I am going to get serious about Christmas and really do some shopping. I would really love to hand each one of you a GREAT BIG CHECK! But that isn't possible but just know my love for each one of you is a GREAT BIG HUG! Keep on blogging because this is such a fun way to communicate. Love to all of you - Grandma Great and Grandpa Greater

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU AND A REALLY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEK!!!!

It has been an eventful week for giving thanks and for FAMILY.

First of all DON'T YOU LOVE MY NEW FACE LIFT ON MY BLOG! Thanks to Kimberly I have music and a much better picture which includes Wendall who is always behind the scenes and encouraging me to learn new things. We had the blessing of being with family. It isn't so much the eating on Thanksgiving but being together 'but' I DO LOVE TO EAT ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE ELSE COOKS. I am so grateful for daughters and granddaughters who are wonderful cooks and prepared special dishes for our enjoyment. I also have a son (Gary) who you might not remember because he is the Uncle George in our family which means the we rarely see him but we don't forget him, and grandsons who are really great at experimenting with something different like for instant, SMOKING THE TURKEY IN THE GREEN EGG, WOW. That is Joe and his making use of his " Price's Right" (is that the way you spell it because I never watch the show so I don't really know) - the Grill, Green Egg, BBQ, Etc. Robyn had a houseful of Thanksgiving which included Parker getting sick and throwing up. It seems that they are carrying on the TRADITION including children being their natural wonderful selves and giving thanks.

HOW BLESSED WE ARE!!!

Like everything else it comes to an end and everyone flew away. We have the pictures and the memories and now we communicate with the BLOG. I really give THANKS FOR:

1. The Priesthood and having it in my home.

.I stepped away from my computer for awhile and GUESS WHAT ----- it made forget where my blog was and it was kind of like I was having a BIG BRAIN CRAMP so my next step was to try and get my thinking processes together again - TAA DAAA WENDALL TO THE RESCUE and so now it is almost 2 pm in the afternoon and after I made my telephone calls - did another batch of washing - folded my drying - came back in here and sat down to my computer continued to blog and recounting what I am grateful for. I just want you to know that I know that you know that I am really getting to be scatter brained but I do know where my blessings are coming from.

As another comment - Marilyn Grimm passed away last night - another death in our Ward Family. I know that you remember her. She also worked with us when we were with the Escalante Branch.

JUST TESTING!!!!!

I posted a blog yesterday but remember I am really having a problem. The blog that I wrote is floating out there SOMEWHERE and it was a real masterpiece ooh wellll.

This will be really short because I am not sure of what I am doing. Patti is doing really well today except her leg and ankle ITCH! Let this be a warning don't do something that you have to have a cast on because it can be miserable.

HI, IT'S MEEEE

WEDDING BELLS!!!!!!!!!

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
