A Dusting of the Cobwebs: A Good Laugh...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

A Good Laugh...

4 January 2019

I have been in lots of aches and pains since I fell last Sept. Fighting through Pneumonia for two and half months and bruises every where, I seemed to be getting no answers about why my left hip area was hurting so much. I had talked to Dr.s, five times but they seemed to be only interested in my lungs. I made an appointment with Dr Douglas office, who had replaced both my hips and knees, because I knew I would get a xray done, and then would see if there was anything to be worried about.

After waiting for a hour, I was able to see Dr. Packham, one of the Dr.s who worked on me before.
After talking a little and expressing my concerns, he brought up my xray, and said something about seeing how I was held together with a Saftypin!

I could not believe my eyes for on the xray, in the middle of my body, between my hip and my stomic was a very large Saftypin!

After a minet I began to laugh, and explained that I had lost so much weight being sick, that I had to order new pants, Levis. The waist was still too loose for me so I cut into the waist band and ran a new elastic. I used a saftypin to hold the ends because I didn't know how much I would need to take out.
The Saftypin quietly slipped into the waistband when the pants were being washed, and I had forgotten about it.......Surprise!!...What A Surprise!

It was real good to talk with Dr Packham again. He told me his oldest son has been in the Mission field for a year, and his next son will be ready for his mission in about a year and half, he was very excited. He was also excited about the new Temple sessions which started last week, which are Awesome....
