Our Family is the best..!!

I just want all of you to know how much the phone calls and visits and the invites mean to Gramps, every day he tells me who he has talked to and who stopped by, I think times are getting loney for him, I can't imagine being with the same person for 57 years and then what you know as life is gone.. I think Gramps is handeling it amazingly well, and I know that you are all helping fill those too quiet of times..

Today Gramps is going with Shane to Spanish Fork, he sounded excited to get out of the house and spend some Guy time, we all know he likes to visit :)

Gramps said he would like to learn how to cook spagetti, and then he would have it made. He knows how to fix roast dinners, breakfast food, and lunch (that would be roast beef again) I told him I would show him how to do that, it is fun having cooking classes with my Dad.. Since I don't really even cook any more..( Jay will agree with that)

Great Advise From Grams

I thought it would be fun for those who want to participate and tellig us something Grams has either given us great advise for or some cute thing she has said, or something you have learned from her that makes you a better person..
So here is mine:
Grams always said
1."And this too shall pass"
2. Never leave the house not presentable
3. Treat other the way you want to be treated
4. Don't judge people ( I am working on that one)
5. Bite you toungue, just keep quiet if it is not nice
6. It good enough for who it is for.. ( I always thought that was sad)
7. Give of yourself
8. Take care of the elderly
9. I don't think she knew how to say "No"
10. Never put yourself first
11. She always said I love You....
12. Do with what you have.. Grams never had a head board for her bed, it wasn't neccessary she said.
13. She wore the same Bra for 15 years when we were growing up ( Can't even imagine)
14. While she worked she watched Jessie, Sabrina and Eric while me and Tina had Surgeries.
15. She never let us kids know how financially hard they had it, never fought in front of us and never discussed bills.
16. Always made Christmas and Birthday's special.
17. Grams never asked for things for herself.
18. Grams could never have lived in Vegas, slot machines would have been too temting :)
19. Grams had to learn to live with everything being Normanized...
20. Grams had to clean the same tub for over 60 years (I can't even imagine)
