When I had my year appointment with Dr. Strindberg, my Surgeon, She asked me if I have had a Colonoscopy? I said that I hadn't. She wanted me to get one for two reasons.
1. I am over 50 years old. and
2. I have had Cancer.
So I was scheduled for May 1st, at the Tooele Hospital. I felt better that Dr. Strindberg would do it being that I know her.
The Colonoscopy its self wasn't too bad. The day before was the hardest of all.
It turned out very well, no problems at all. But I don't think I will need another one, because of my age...
I am Sooooo Glad its over....
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...

Jenny Bird....



My Friend, Jenny Bird, a Beautiful Jenday Conure, died March 28th 2012.
I have raised her from the time she received her feathers.
A Sweet, Loving, Gentle bird, who considered me a friend. She died in my arms after giving me a loving last look into my eyes.
I can not tell you how my broken heart crys for her.
I hope I may have the privilege of seeing her again on the other side of the vail.
Jenny was eight years old. She died young...

Just Me....
Its been almost a year since I have experienced a year bout with cancer. I have been truly blessed in so many ways.
My hair is growing back, its about two inches all over. The color has changed from a medium brown to a salt and pepper gray. I had a tiny natural curl or wave in my hair, now its curly..... I would spend quite a bit of time trying to get some curl in my hair. Now I spend time trying to get it a little straighter. I have to get use to this new hair, but I think I am going to like it, its sure different. Dr. Chandramolie said he takes the credit for the color change....
I am feeling better every day, getting my energy back a little more each day. It feels good to be able to clean house again.
On my visit with Dr. Strindberg, on my birthday, She said it would be at least another year or more, before I get all my strengh back.
We have such a wonderful ward and neighbors, I don't know what we would have ever done without them, they keep us smiling with their love and caring...

Bob's Great Granddaughter....
Last Sunday I had the privilege of being at the blessing of Kaitlyn Elizabeth Tomer. My brother Bob's Great Granddaughter. She is such a sweet and beautiful baby.
I so enjoyed my visit with Jillian and Mike Tomer and their families. A whole house full of wonderful families bringing love and joy for this special occasion. Including my daughter and her husband, Paulette and James Inman.
My brother Bob and Helen had four children. Sherrie, Robert Criag, Gary, and Tamie.
Sherrie Jorgensen, and her daughter Heather Warburton, and her family were there. Tamie Warner, Jillian's Mother, and her father Stan Orme were also there. And lots of family from the Tomer side, and from all sides.
I had the opertunity of getting to know my nieces and their families. I have missed knowing them in the last thirty years or more. Sherrie reminds me alot of her Mother Helen.
Bob and his wife did not come, He missed out on a very special day.
I hope our family can retie the family shoestrings together. Family is one of the most important things in this world, and after. After all we are all brothers and sisters.
