Indian Summers... I love them!

What an amazingly beautiful day. Mona and I walked and it just couldn't be more glorious. The colors on the trees are vivid and I just feel spoiled to live in such a beautiful spot. Well I am a little freaked out today just thinking about things that it isn't worth thinking about but I guess that is to be expected. Hey I do get to go to the new hospital so that is cool. Anyway I shall take a nap eat chocolate then read a book in that order and I will be fine. It's a great life.

Happy birthday Mom

I chose this picture today just because I love it and it is my mother in law's birthday on friday. It was taken at Katie's wedding and my Jesse is missing because he had to work but we are all so happy. So happy for Katie and Roger and just happy to be together. I don't need big vacations and huge events to be happy just the get together's and the dinners. These all mean so much. It is Mom Campbells birthday on friday and we are all getting together for dinner on saturday I love to be with corby's family they mean so much to me. They are suupportive and non judgemental, which sure mean't a great deal when my kids were little. They love me and I love them. I will be happy to be half as good as my mother in law when this life is over.Mom I love you Suzanne

Happy day

I have just spent a fabulous afternoon in my garden. I love to do yard work especially this time of year. I planted my bulbs and then my pansies on top. Vickie if you have any bulbs you don't know what to do with let me know. You think you are buying way to much and it is barely enough. Last night I finished the second book in the series Abrams Daughters by Beverly Lewis. I loved it I am ready to be Amish! Just kidding they work way too hard and they can't read "made up" stories they would be suprised to see how many books they are in. I have the 3rd and the 4th being sent to the library I have the 5th right here and it is all I can do to not start it and just not read the other two.Well its been a great day thanks to all of you who have called and are now worried about me. I kind of forgot that I had written about the mamogram when I got all excited to give you the blog instructions. I apologize and really I am not worried I will after thursday if I need too. Oh the second book is called The Betrayal.

Here we go again!!!

I just received a phone call from the new cottonwood hospital the mammogram came back suspicious. Here we go again. Its not the first time I have been called back since the first breast cancer this breast is lumpy and painful on occasion. If I remember to take the vitamin E it's usually okay. This last week when I went in for the Mammogram the breast especially around the nipple was very tender. It seems to me that it happens every three months it is unusually tender. Anyway Thursday I go in and have it done again. I am writing it here because I do regret that I didn't document the breast cancer experience better the last time.

Here goes

Well here goes. I have just finisher "The Covenant" by Beverly Lewis and it was very good. It takes place in Amish country but instead of trying to make them look foolish and outdated they are good and faithful. You can't help but be drawn in by both sisters Leah and Sadie as they reach "Courting age" There are more books in the series and I plan on reading them all. this past week I read Freedom Factor by Gerald Lund who I love. This is not an L.D.S. novel it is about the importance of the Constitution and it is told in such an interesting way. Quite the thriller I loved it. I also read "The Divine Appointment." This was really good also. About a Christian President and his choice for a Supreme court justice. It also is a thriller and takes place in Washington D.C. It is a christian movel and I enjoyed it.

Oh my heck I did it

Well I've done it. I am not even sure if I will be able to find this ever again I am so computer illiterate. However I have been inspired by a few of my friends to get started and I think I have things to say. Those who know me well should be concerned I always have plenty to say. I am a voracious reader many books a week. Corby has been gone for two weeks and I think I have read at least seven books. That truly is the benefit of being a stay at home mom and every one in school. I didn't read while my children were young because I can't put a book down and then I would be ornery with them. So I am making up for lost time. I grew up without T.V. and so I read. It is my escape and favorite thing to do except be with my family and friends. Yes talking trumps reading. I thought that I could write short reviews about the books I read so that you could read them if you wanted. I think it is hard to find good books that aren't embarresing and like to read what some one else that I trust recommends. I volunteer in the library at the school Cooper goes to and the Librarian has been so great to tell me of her favorite books and I have had many hours of great reading. I also want to use this to comment about the things I am interested in and enjoy.
