A Marshmellow World

Our Ward Christmas Party

We had a wonderful Ward Christmas Party Fri the 4th of December at our church. I was privileged in playing the piano for the program, it was alot of fun, I enjoyed the whole thing! Santa came at the end when I played Here somes Santa! He was sitting on the stage and had the kids and adults come up and sit on his lap! At one time Santa sat on one of the Big boys. Teens. It was really funny and cute. I played for our choir with young kids and adults, The primary, and a girls choir! I played a marchmellow world, for the girls, I never heard of it before, now that I have played that song, I have it in my head! It sure is a cute song.

The change inside Mobile Home

We finally got the fridge, washer & dryer in and also my computer in my room. My freind Barbara hooked up the VCR& DVD also. So it is nice to sit and watch TV now.

Filling in the gaps

Dean came today and leveled the dirt around the side and front of the Mobile Home. filling in the dirt so water can't get in. It is amazing to watch. It looks alot better now, after he moved the blocks. He put black plastic bags on the bottom and filled with dirt. Next Spring we will have to put stucco around where the wood is showing.

Dean & Doug putting up the siding

Here is Doug and Dean putting up the siding on our Mobile home. Dean is our Super man. He comes over when he can just shows up and does a great job, He work fast motion. He is so fast I can't beleive it is done so fast, but we are so greatful for him. He works alone unless Doug is around. This was Last week. Dean has helped up since we have been here.

The New Look!

What do you think of our new Living room? Designed it myself! I am enjoying my new place. The water heater needs some attention. But at least there is hot water in the 5th wheel. The blue chair in mine. I found the red white and blue afagan, but I wish I could have a mauve one. But it will do to cover the ugliness of the lounge chair. It is comfy though and goes around and rocks. My chair is stays and reclyns. The sofa has roses on it. It was free!

There is a portable frig on the bar. The big frig not it yet, have to wait to bury everything first, no where to move it. Same with the washer and dryer. The big frig will be by the kitchen chair, and the washer and dryer will be before my bedroom. behind the brown door, which is by the back door. Had some wallpaper from the house we had, so I put it up on the white wall.

The Kittens and Cats

Here are some pictures of out Kittens and Cats. fredy loves to babysit, The big Cat The Mom, blacky with her babies, she has three, one is up stairs in the cage. It is gray.

About Doug

Right now, living in the basin is wonderful. Right now, my husband Doug lost his railroad account in Salt Lake a month or 2 ago. He hasn't had any work for a couple of months. He is taking care of his Father who is 87. At the same time we are putting in our Mobile home which was donated to us by a wonderful family in our ward. We are getting help from the family to help us get the mobile home set to live in. So there is no income from him coming in and he has been depressed alot lately. I hope his business picks up, or finds something to do to make some money. He is trying for Disability, but that will take some time, but in the meanwhile.

Doug is doing some work in the mobile home, putting fans in to circulate the air to save from using the central air in the summer and heat in the winter. He does wonderful work. I ususally appraise him for it.

Here is Doug taking the tougue off the Mobile home to finish leveling it. Got his best side! Hee Hee!

What I made at the Ward Camp Out

For the Ward Camp Out they had a craft activity and they had free white pillow cases and I dyed one orange to go with my silky sheet for my bed. I did a pair.






I was taking the elastic bands off the pillow case after it was dyed.

Doug rince it with water after it was dyed.

Everyone is getting their dying projects.

Remembering Alice Heaton

Today I went to the funeral Service for Alice Heaton, It was a very wonderful Service and fully enoyed it, and trying to remember her back in the day's I was a teenager in kearns. She was a very patient person, a sweet Lady who loved us for who we are. I started to remember her at girls camp. She was a great leader. The Heaton family lived around the block from us and lived in the same ward. Almost 40 years ago they moved out in the Basin, and haven't seen them since.

Verdene here husband was the patriarch then and gave me my patriarticle blessing and Alice type it up.

Then I started to go to the Vernal Temple after I moved out to the Basin, and saw Verden and Alice in the Temple, It was so wonderful to see them. So I was able to catch to talk to them there for breif moments and I treasure that memory cause it is a recent memory and Alice will be missed. I saw alot of her Temple freinds there.

It was great to see their children that I grew up with, and the other girls babysat us when we were children, I remember Jerri and Ina the most. I hope we can now connect and be close. They had the greatest spirit there at the service. I felt it there. They all have love for one another. I enjoyed all their talks about their mother. I really enjoyed when the 3 women sang Because I have been given much, that is one of my favorite songs, Verdene hugs both of her sisters when they stopped singing. That was touching! I want to get to know the Heaton Family more now. What a great Family!

Try not to cry!

This is beautiful!
She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to her son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.



It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:

'Dear Mom

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day.. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone... I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?


Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.


(Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60 seconds and repost this, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves 'When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.'

Pushing the Mobile home into place

The trackter that was pulling the trailer had to stop,and release it from the trailer then drove up, then they were figuring how to put it into place, so they put long polls under the front, and pushed it from the back up towards the 5th wheel even with the shed.
