Mary's Wednesday Babble
(click on picture for larger view)Do you remember what you were doing four years ago today, March 18, 2006?
Well, some of us spent HOURS driving from fabric store to fabric store searching for just the right fabric to choose to represent us in our upcoming project of making "Family Quilts". Then we came back here to my house and spent more hours cutting, sewing and ironing. It was great fun and with such great results. We all LOVE our quilts.
Thanks Lori!

Pictionary FHE
A few weeks ago we played Pictionary for FHE. Grandpa was out of town, so we invited grandma to come over. See if you can figure out the picture:
Baylee: kidneys (thought for sure it was appendix)
Brinley: Sunrise
Whitney: Around
Trek: Jumper cables
Grandma: the word was defect, but she misread it as defeat(we didn't guess it)haha
Karlene: Mosaic (look close)No one got that either:(

Zebra Queen
(Zebra, meaning my floors are now black or white.)I have been trying to clean the grout on my tile floor for the last couple of days!
I've rented a Sargent Steam cleaner that is supposed to be fantastic but it isn't so great. It's a lot of work which I wouldn't mind if it worked the first or even the second time but I am having to do it four times! Meaning steam it really good, let it dry and stream again and again and again! and it still isn't perfect.
End result = a zebra looking floor.
I have become a great fan of linoleum!
My mother never had so much trouble with her floors.

Actually, this week it's good stuff, not just babble.
After everyone left our house last Sunday, I found this written on a note paper.
When you can't sleep at night don't count sheep, talk to the Shepherd.
Good suggestion. Lisa said that Lori told it to her for a possible handout.
In keeping with the above message I thought I would include two of my favorite scriptures. D&C 84:88 and
I Nephi 21:14-16
Would love it if some of you would tell us a favorite of yours. You could add them in Comments.

The brethern at the BYU game
The other day at the BYU game, Pres. Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar were there. I had to zoom with my little camera so the quality is bad, but I thought it was fun! Next to Uchtdorf is Pres.of BYU and he usually has at least one of the well knowns there, but it was fun to see 2 of my favorite people!!

As you know sr 92 is undergoing new construction. There is a video that is kind of fun to watch that shows how the road will be when finished.
click here on www.udot.utah.gov/sr92/
then click on the middle of the picture, then the sound emblem (lower right of picture).
It's worth watching.
P.S. sr 92 is the road between Thanksgiving Point and Alpine.

Can you believe I watched Pride & Prejudice again today?
At least it was only the 3 hours version but altogether that adds up to 18 hours of P & P in one week!

Still recovering from tooth extraction and a biopsy. I hoped it wouldn't take this long but it is. So, yesterday I felt justified in watching the SIX hour long Pride & Prejudice. All together I have watched the three hour version three times plus the six hour version once, which equals fifteen hours of Pride & Prejudice. I think I have it memorized. A good reward.

Glad your still among the living Mary...
But rest assured that if you do go, we will keep your memory alive for all the great grandkids
UPDATE
Well, everything went well at the oral surgeon's office yesterday. I was in the dentist chair for over an hour! Was given three prescription. Then back home, I enjoyed Pride & Prejudice - TWICE (just the 3 hour one).
About bedtime things started going downhill . I had an allergic reaction to the medicine (Percocet & possible Clindamycin) and ended up in the ER today. Not fun. We just returned home. Thank goodness for hospitals and competent physicians.
P.S. Karlene can you find a picture of someone who looks half dead? Actually 99% dead would be more like it.

I'm having some minor oral surgery tomorrow. At first, I was kind of dreading it but then I took my own advice (see Babble on 2-3-10) -- "focus on something that's after the dreaded experience". Now I am focusing on coming home from the dentist and spending the next SIX HOURS immersed in Pride & Prejudice. It's hard to justify watching a 6 hour movie but since it's my reward, it's ok. Now I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow. Well, almost.

Hey,
I have a question for you all. Here in Thailand, they have shops that make sports jerseys for way cheap and my companion gave me the idea to get matching family jerseys. What do you think if I got some of those for us? Would that be something cool? They would look like soccer jerseys and we could put whatever we want on them. If you decide you want to do it, let me know of colors and sizes. For measuring purposes, I wear a size large on the jerseys. Well just let me know what you think. I think it could be a cool souvenir to bring back but it all depends on if you would all wear them.
Steve
Maybe Chuck could design us some kind of family logo or something, what do you think? Lori

100 things about me
Karlene was talking about "writing 100 things about yourself". She'll have to tell us more about it. Just one line somethings. Anyway, I started writing stuff about me and it's kind of fun. Sample to follow:
I love Utah
I never nag - never
don't like being barefoot
I fear I might be plump?
love the rain
haven't had a bath in over 15 years (but I do shower daily)
favorite color to wear - black
on time 99.9% of the time
feel "grateful" a lot

I saved $200.00 yesterday -- maybe more! A couple of friends and I went to Gardner Village and there were many items that I loved. I practiced my 5 minutes rule (pick it up but wait 5 minutes before buying) and amazingly, the honeymoon was over within 5 minutes with each item. BIG savings.
P.S. I don't understand why Grant doesn't understand "savings".

"If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear."
This scripture is so true but there is also another "fear thwarter". It's all about "focusing".
If you are nervous about something -- a dental appointment, giving a talk, an upcoming test, whatever -- you can ease your fears by --
First: being prepared, of course.
Second: by focusing on something that will occur after the feared event.
Such as -- after my operation I will reward myself with . . . .
Or, after my dental appointment I am going to enjoy watching my favorite video.
Or, after I sing my solo in church (this one will never happen to me) it is going to feel soooo good to sit back down in my seat.
You get the idea --concentrate on the reward. Try it, it works.

When I asked Ron what kind of birthday cake he wanted he smiled and said, "The Orange Cake that you made for the California cake baking contest."
(There is a long story about that cake but hay,
I won a prize -- fourth in the state!)
Keep your fingers crossed and don't expect too much.
The last time I made this cake was in May 2005 at Lori's request and it was about the same as eating cardboard.
Well, maybe it wasn't quite that good.

We have so much to be grateful for, so much.
Lately, I have an increased appreciation for photography. I love looking at the pictures you post on the family blogs. Our ancestors never dreamed of such a thing. It was tradition (before photographs) to have a small lock of hair from a loved one, to remember them by.
Photography is a modern day luxury/blessing that I truly appreciate and enjoy.

President Kimball had a great idea to solve this problem. Every afternoon he would lay down on the living room floor and take a nap. He said the floor was the best place for a nap because it wasn't comfortable enough to sleep more than 20 minutes and that was all he needed to feel refreshed.

Hand washing dishes.
Put some dish soap on a Dobie or cloth or sponge and wash each item with it. Rinse under running water. Much better than a dish pan full of soapy water. Have you ever been washing a bunch of dishes at the church and someone comes along and puts more dirty dishes with food still on them in your dishwater? Gross, gag, puke!
Use this suggested way and you'll not give a hoot about such a thing happening.
P.S. Maybe I need to up-date my memory bank. I don't think we wash lots of dishes at the church anymore (yeah for paper plates).

Teaching a church class & having discipline problems?
Years ago, the Primary program made the following suggestions.
1. Stop talking. Just look at the one causing the problem and "wait" for them to stop.
2. Walk over and stand next to them.
3. Talk to them privately, ask for their cooperation.
4. Arrange seating so it's boy, girl, boy, girl.
5. Ask someone to visit your class and sit next to the problem.
6. Move to a different ward.
P.S. that last suggestion didn't come from the Primary.

We could use a new mattress but when I consider that it is better than what most people sleep on I appreciate it more.
Do you know that one fourth of the world's population live without electricity?
And one-half of the world's population has no running water in their house?
These statistics are hard to believe but I checked a few different sources on the internet and they all say about the same thing.
Our old mattress looks more like a bowl than a bed but when I consider the above statistics, it looks pretty dang good.
We are all greatly, greatly blessed.

54 Years ago today
54 years ago today our lives changed. Grant & I met on a blind date -- we went to the Rainbow Rendezvoux (a nice dance hall in SLC) to hear Dave Brubeck. Love at first sight? No, but started getting serious pretty soon after that.
P.S. I had to ask Grant how to spell Rendezvoux. He knew how to spell it because when he was in the Navy he used to type up the ships logs and they used that word a lot -- whenever meeting up with different ships.
Today is also the anniversary of when Grant got his first car. A black Mercury with a white top -- "Leaded-in". Leaded-in was removing the handles and have the area where handles used to be "leaded-in". Grant only had the trunk handle removed. We had to pull a leaver in the back window area to open the trunk. Dumb now but back in 1956 it was "cool".

TIP OF THE DAY
Do you have CRS? (Can't Remember Stuff)
Keep a journal, it can be of great help.
For sometime now, I have wanted to know when we started our Family Quilts. Karlene thought it was in 2006. So I checked my journal for that year and found this entry ---
18 March 2006 Saturday
Lori came down from Farmington then Lisa over from Orem then Karlene and her girls and we all went shopping for quilting fabric. Started at Nuttle's in A.F. then Fabric Mill and JoAnn's in Orem then back to Nuttle's. FOUR hours of shopping. Then back home and worked for sometime on cutting and sewing pieces together. Quite fun. Lori's idea. Everyone excited about it.
I already wrote on my quilt 9-9-9, the finishing date. Now I can add 3-18-06 for the starting date. All because I kept a journal and because Lori did 99.9% of the work on my quilt, otherwise the ending date would yet be sometime in the distant future.

18 March 2006 Saturday
Lori came down from Farmington then Lisa over from Orem then Karlene and her girls and we all went shopping for quilting fabric. Started at Nuttle's in A.F. then Fabric Mill and JoAnn's in Orem then back to Nuttle's. FOUR hours of shopping. Then back home and worked for sometime on cutting and sewing pieces together. Quite fun. Lori's idea. Everyone excited about it.
I already wrote on my quilt 9-9-9, the finishing date. Now I can add 3-18-06 for the starting date. All because I kept a journal and because Lori did 99.9% of the work on my quilt, otherwise the ending date would yet be sometime in the distant future.
