It has been quite a while since I wrote anything. I should do better but I'm not sure I will. I was reading Nikki's blog and saw that she had posted things she was grateful for. It made me think of things I'm grateful for.

I'm thankful for a wonderful husband who loves and supports me. I'm thankful for seven beautiful children and their spouses and all my wonderful grandchildren. I am so thankful for their health and happiness. I'm thankful to live in Mink Creek. The air is clean, the neighbors are wonderful, and the life is just what I want to have. I'm thankful for a great brother and sister. I'm so glad we are friends as well as relatives. I'm thankful for a super mom. I don't see her as often as I would like to, but I do love her.

I'm thankful for this wonderful world that God and His son Jesus Christ made for me. I can't imagine that it could be any better.

I am very thankful for my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It gives my life meaning, direction, and purpose.

Now on a lighter note you won't believe what's going on at my house. I think I told you I had gotten a cute little puppy. I named her Zoe. A week or so after I got her she died. I was heart broken. I found Lacey to replace her. Lacey is a great dog, but she wasn't Zoe. I do love her but it's different. While I was getting Lacey Jeff found me a new weinie dog. When the guy came to deliver him there were two of them. They were brothers out of different litters. I had to take them both. (You can't break up brothers can you???) Now I had three dogs. They are fun and Oscar has adopted Jeff. (He's one of the weinie dogs). Then I ran into the gal who had given me Zoe and told her what had happened. She gave me Zoe's sister. She's precious. I think she's smarter than Zoe. Her name is Buffy. I call Jeff almost every day to check and make sure she's alright. It is definitely interesting around my house. Jeff complains about them but he really likes them. Pepper (the other weinie dog) even rides on his 4-wheeler. I had a chance to get a cute little poodle, but Jeff wouldn't let me have her. (I don't know why.)

I love life and I love my critters.

And you thought your life was weird!!!
