Joy

Friday morning we were able to plant flowers at my mom's house. She buys the flowers but is not able to put them in so we have planted them for her for the past 3 years. I am so glad Bob is patient with me because I am so difficult to get up and functional early in the morning (even on tennis days :) Of course, once we are going I am so happy we did. Mom was so thankful and the flowers will be beautiful this season, once again. Very rewarding service. Then we came home and cleaned up to go to Bob's daughters house. We were invited to attend grandparents day at the elementary school and had lunch with 4 of our grandkids at 3 different lunches. What fun! It was the highlight of the month for us. The added plus was spending time before lunch playing with two of the smaller grandkids at home. They are so much fun and give us such enjoyment. In the afternoon, my husband took me to see the Michael Jackson movie. YES, I am an MJ fan from years past and wanted to see the movie. We actually enjoyed it. Of course, we came home to the Suns game and it was awesome to see them top the Celtics at the Garden. GO SUNS!
Saturday morning we played tennis in the am with our group. That is always fun once I get over having to get out of bed so early. At ten I had an appointment at church for visiting teaching, then we picked up Bob's mom and took her to the football game of two of the grandsons. We enjoy being outdoors and watching the kids play. Saturday afternoon we did a bit of cleaning and getting ready for dinner with my family. Mom gave all of my siblings and us season tickets to Hale theater for Christmas the past couple of years. It is the best gift and occasionally we meet for dinner. This was the second time we have had them over. It is fun to be with the siblings and spouses in one place for dinner and then off the the play. It was "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" this time and a great evening, as always. Sunday is our favorite day to relax, go to church and enjoy each other in the quiet of our home.
I am hoping to post pics soon. Not good at that, but I am mainly trying to keep up on posting what's up!

A New Start, I hope! :)

Ok, so I have not done a thing on my blog for over a year. I still don't know much about this but have had requests for updates on Bob and I.

Today is a good day to start, but I will also go back in time and fill you in on some events since we have been married. Married!!!! I might add that this is a word I never thought I would find myself saying again, but I am soooooo happy with it now. Six weeks and it is good.
So, today, played tennis from 7 to 9 am.....so great to get up with my husband and drive to tennis together. A plus for sure. We came home and had breakfast....of course, Bob had to to mow the lawn first (he is always working on something) and then we got cleaned up. Off to Scottsdale to see my brother who has been in the hospital for 7 weeks. He got moved out of the ICU again today and was looking so much better. We enjoyed talking with him and seeing him smile through his breathing mask. I am happy that he is doing better. We then left there and went to the temple. What a breath of beauty in the middle of the day. I love going to the temple with my husband and friend. He knows so much and always has the answers to my questions when we are there. It was very nice. We also ran into Bob's daughter as we were walking in which was a pleasant surprise. After the temple we came home and changed clothes and went to see the MIchael Jackson film which I really wanted to see. Yes, I am a big MJ fan and even Bob enjoyed the film. What a talent MJ was. Afterwards we came home for a bit and worked in the garage. We then met up with Janet my sis, and got flowers to plant at mom's in the morning. Then B and I went to Joes BBQ for dinner. Yummmm. After we came home B worked in the garage some more......I did say he is always working, right. But, he always has time for me and my needs. We are such lovebirds it is crazy. I love it tho. We love to be together 24/7 and I think that is one of the many, many reasons we are good for each other. Well, that is my day. I hope to add some pics and keep up a daily entry of what is going on with us for you enquiring minds, who want to know. I will share. I love my life now....am so grateful what I have. THE END.
