There are only two kinds of people in the end:
those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and
those to whom God say, in the end, "Thy will
be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without
that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul
that seriously and constantly desires joy will
miss it. Those that seek find. Those who knock it is opened.

My weekend begins early!
It begins TODAY!!!
My Builder and I head north this afternoon...for another happy occasion!
Cousin Lynley is graduating from USU tomorrow!! With a Masters in English!!! Be impressed!! A Masters in English!! And even though we dont talk much..(thank heavens for facebook) she needs to know how proud we are of her...for truly this is a BIG DEAL!!! I need to share the love, the hugs and my admiration!! Im sad to think that her time in Utah is now over...Mississippi is a long way to go....and who knows when we'll meet again...sigh. Now I just have to be grateful that we got to know her better while she was here.
SO...
I am once again headed to the northern regions..leaving my fears behind that I might encounter another snow storm!! It is May...I should be safe right!!!??
Other Good Things That This Week Brought to Us:
While wiping the sleep from our eyes our postman promptly delivers the mail. This week brought a delightful letter from our dear Elder Justus!! (Im still trying to decide if I should share it with ya'll) Hes so happy serving in Concepcion Chile!! Thank heavens Justus will always be Justus!!
We hiked 7 miles with a favorite guest. Awesome Chasm was AWESOME..as always!!! But gathering coral dust between my toes this day was painful!!!! And now I have some concerns. Yesterday while hiking... my feet hurt!! So did my hips and a knee!!! Eeeeegads!!!! This is a first..and prayerfully a last!! Its got to be a fluke!! For how can I worry when the cactus's are showing off again with their phosphorescent glow...when the sky is bluer than the Mediterranean Sea and when the wind cools our back and the conversations fuel our steps. Im convinced that my aches and pains of that day were a freak incident...not to reoccur any time soon!!!
We had a wonderful turnout for our Young Womens activity last night!! And we didnt even have to feed them to get them there!!! They care as much as I do about our program for sacrament meeting on Sunday!! Bless their darling toes! They shine, they delight, and have more talent in their little toes than I do in my whole body! I have no right...but I bust with pride that they are "my girls." How blessed I am to be with them each week.
Its a wonder that a few hours in the salon chair can bring such joy and contentment. Its amazing what covering some grays and adding some blonde can do for ones appearances. Why do I go so long between colorings?!!! Its such an easy "fix" with such abundant rewards to my confidence in growing old.
Sharing chips and salsa poolside in the warm sun with a couple of dear friends...priceless. We cant solve the troubles of the world...but we sure try!! Women NEED women!!!
Basking in the afterglow of Womens Conference...remembering things that were taught...and being able to share them with others...
Remembering the sweet feel of the Holy Ghost burning in my breast and testifying to me over and over that my Savior lives and loves me. ....its more precious than rubies!!! Sharing these few days with my mom and a couple of dear friends...the Best!!!!
Ignoring the terror I feel in taking on 2 wee children for 6 days next week! My stunningly handsome grandsons are moving in with us next week. I've decided to embrace the experience. The stroller, car seat and the parks and I are going to become very well acquainted.
Just keep swimming
just keep moving
just keep swimming
just keep moving
and praying for good night rests!!!
If we can do this we can do anything!!
Oh how we love these boys!!
Pray for us!!!
I've felt proud this week...oh so proud of our military and covert operations!! God Bless America!!
So as I prepare for a road trip with my Builder...
I go knowing that the time spent there will also be helping My Builder and David to further advance their business ventures... another good thing! We'll get to hang with Anna and David. We'll become reacquainted with long lost relatives and party with them at Maddox's!!! We might crash a bridal shower for a dear niece! I'll be able to hug my brother and his family!
What bounteous blessing I enjoy!! Its been a good week!!!
Live Long and Prosper Friends!!
