Oh--my sugar report. Today is day 20 with no sugar...I'm thinking, just thinking about going to low carbs--haven't committed yet.

Hey Brooke, Zac and Kaila--look who I ran into!

Many of you might remember Kincade. He lived in my old neighborhood and would always stop by the house to say hi to us. He is a sweetheart--so innocent and such a faithfull friend.

Last week I had to go to a facility for work. I was meeting someone at a place in Provo School District where they give jobs to the mentally handicapped. When I walked in all the workers wanted to know who I was and all about me. When I asked one of them where they lived they named the place where I knew Kincade use to live. Well I knew Kincade must be close by and I found him. He was very excited to see me and asked if I could come see him "tonight". I told him we would come visit him. So, we are going to have to do that. He also loved getting his picture taken--as you can tell

Havasupai

This post is mostly to my children. Remember our fun trip to Havasupai? Well, really you guys had fun, I just got some broken bones and a stay in the Kingman hospital. Apparently, Havasupai recently had some scary flooding. This link takes you to one of the videos--but there are a few of the flash flood. Glad we weren't there! Jamie Stubblefield is the one who emailed me and some others who were on our adventure to tell us about the flooding.

ESTATE PLANNING

Dan was a single guy living at home with his

father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a

fortune when his sickly father died, he decided

he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting, he spotted

the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her

natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like

an ordinary man," he said to her, "But in a few years

my father will die and I'll inherit twenty million dollars."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card.

Three days later, she became his stepmother.

WOMEN ARE SO MUCH BETTER AT ESTATE PLANNING THAN MEN.

HELP!

Okay, I need a gimic (how do you spell gimic?) or some kind of incentive to eat better (because apparently cancer, diabetes, hypertension, feeling lethargic, and getting fat is not enough incentive for me.) I am wanting to go off sugar...and maybe white breads. I need a support group though. Anyone interested and maybe we could encourage each other or have a little contest or something?

Elaine and the computer become friendly with each other...

Why look at our mother on the computer!!! Her and the mouse have had a difficult time getting acquainted with each other. But, she and I learned how to do indexing--it's easy and you can do it at home in your spare time. Anyway, I'm hoping mom will feel comfortable enough to buy a computer and have something to work on in the winter when she doesn't want to leave the house. It's the beginnings of us hopefully doing some genealogy together. Anyone want to join us in our quest to SLOWLY start doing some genealogy?

At Sea World. Are you sick of my vacation photos yet???

I guess when you take my camera and take "funny" pics with it, you have to have them posted on my blog!

Eating fresh seafood!

At the "Wedge" where the waves are apparently "radical" and we saw some surfers--this is supposed to be where only the experts should go surfing. We rode our bikes there.

Zac, stop hitting your sister!

Can I move to Cali??? I think this is on the pier with Huntington Beach in the background.

I don't know which one of us agreed to do this thing, but we were approached at Universal Studios to test some smoothie drinks and to give our opinion on Dial Soap containers. I guess we did it because we are cheap and they told us we could make some money. About 30 minutes later we left with $34.00 worth of Universal Studios bucks and it bought our lunch that day.

The Boat Ride around Newport Bay looking at incredible homes!

On our trip to California we rented a boat and cruised around the bay for a couple of hours--eating, listening to music and pretending we could buy the BEAUTIFUL homes around the bay. The bay has 7 small islands in it and it was fun to look at all the sailboats parked in the bay and we had fun reading the names of all the boats. We saw a boat with Bon Jovi's name on it--do you think it was his?
