What a great month October was for me. I turned 60' which for me was alittle hard to take. I don't feel 60' , it seems impossible that I reached that milestone without my noticing.
LeGrand felt that we should go to Utah to celebrate with my parents. After the working at the Temple on Thursday 22nd, we left for Orem. Stopped to see the eye Dr. and then on to visit with a Missionary couple we worked with in Vermont.
Earlier in the month, I was online when I received an IM from by neice..asking "what this sisters reunion was coming up" , I didn't know anything about it. but it got my curiosity going. About 3 days before my Dad called, during the visit, he asked when I was giving my Mom a perm?", I said probably Friday AM, to which he replied, "Oh , Kathy and Beth are coming on Friday , did you know that?' , of course I didn't but that added fuel to my curiosity.
So on Friday I began to try to figure out when everyone would come in and when I should expect the big "SURPRISE" , I checked flts and arrival times to see if they coordinated. Then I over heard my Dad (on the phone) , say "call when you get to Flagstaff" So I knew it would be late in the day before they showed up. I began to relax.
In the afternoon LeGrand and I went to Costco and the Post office for my Dad. trying to be so careful with the key ---(so as not to loose it) , I promptly lost it. couldn't remember where I had put it , so we stopped in a parking lot , dumped my purse, checked all over the truck--it was no where to be found.
We headed back to face the consequences for losing my Dad's postoffice key. Walked in the house thru the back door --into the living room and there on the couch were our three daughters. Tricia, Marie, Lynn. \There was no car in the front , I was really surprised.
I spent Friday, Sat and part of Sun with the girls, Lynn's in laws have a cabin at Sundance that they let us use. We had so much fun ....
then on Sun the girls had to leave and they took my down to church --where I met my Sisters. We went back up to the cabin until Tuesday. We laughed , and talked , and talked , and laughed...what a great way to start a new decade.
thanks to all of you that thought of me on that day. Family and Friends are what are important in this life.
