The Important Things.......

I loved getting a copy of this letter! How refreshing it is to see things through the eyes of our grandchildren!

Rachel called her Papa to ask him which Beatles song to use in her class talent show..She chose Yellow Submarine

After seeing so many skunks killed on the road at night,
Madison wanted to know "Why skunks stay up so late"

Starting another stressful day at the hospital, Dakota said "relax, just tip your hat and say howdy partner"

Shelby asked her teacher why they didn't say the pledge of allegiance everyday in their classroom...She volunteered to lead them each morning when school started for the day.

Zoie wants to move to "new tah" (Utah) to be by her family. She asked Tanji if she would save a cow for her.

After getting a telescope for Christmas Tyler asked "do y'all have the same stars in the sky in New Mexico as we have in Texas?"

Count Your Blessings

These were the words that David left me with as he walked out the door to work in Texas this week. It's no secret how down I have felt because I still don't feel well. No voice, no energy, and this diabetic diet.....YUCK! But his words triggered a memory of my mom, sending me to my room with those exact same words! It might surprise you all, but when I was younger I was quite the pouter (not really a surprise huh?)! Mom took it one step farther though, (I'm sure David would have too if he dared), she had me write a list of the things I was grateful for before I could leave my room. I couldn't leave my room until I had enough things written down on my list. So I have come to my room and, I'm making the list, THANKS MOM!
