"So how is retirement?" we are often asked ---- "couldn't be better will be our reply" ---- time for each other and time for family ---- and that leaves no time for self pity. Loving every minute and grateful for each new day. When given the chance we load up and are on our way. Being with family is the best that life can offer. And their sweet love and kindness in return makes each day just a bit better

Larry and Bonnie enter the Mission Home
Today my brother Larry and his wife Bonnie entered the Mission Home in Provo. They will be serving a fourteen month mission in the Farmington New Mexico Mission. They will be such great missionaries. They will give the Indians on the Zuni Reservation their best.
Easter Tradition
This year we asked the family to celebrate Easter with us on Saturday. We would need to celebrate between eleven and three before Grandpa Brad needed to leave for his shift at the temple. I had decided that this year we would have breakfast and indeed it was delicious. I have such a great family that supports everything I do with 100 percent effort. The food was delicious and the little ones were so excited and fun.
Feeding the Missionaries
Friday was a very busy day for grandpa and I. After taking Glenda to her chemo sessions and doing a small amount of housework at her home we came home to prepare to feed the missionaries in our stake.
I had prepared most everything on Thursday evening while Grandpa was substituting at the temple for brother Keene. On Friday we would just have to set the table and grill the hamburgers. (grandpa is really good at making a great hamburger) We had invited Tonya, MacKenzie, Teresa and Paul to share our evening with us. Tonya was the only one able to come. We had a very nice evening together. The Elders gave us a great mini lesson on faith and a crazy object lesson.
We sent them home with an Easter basket each and a large package of staples from Tonya.
Then it was off to the Firth's to share in Lisa's fiftieth birthday celebration. Tammy Earl and her family had decorated the yard and the house with lots of fun crazy 50 signs. Fun night

Glenda's Last Chemo
Friday, April 18, 2014, was the last chemo session in this last series for Glenda. She was ill when we picked her up, having not recovered well from the week before. Our hearts are broken for her. She has been through so much. She expressed that this would be her last no matter what. She said she has done her part of the work and now she is placing it in the hands of our Heavenly Father. The blessing that her Stake President gave to her is so true for her. He blessed her body with the miracle of healing that will astound medical experts. Our faith continues and our lives are filled with hope.

Cancer is such a killer
This week has been a horrific one for Glenda. The chemo is taking such a toll on her.
Olivia Jane Dansie
April 8, 2014, is a very special day for the Dansie family. Baby Olivia Jane came to join this special family. She was born at 2:12 in the afternoon at the Ogden Regional Medical Center. She weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 inches long. She looks just like her older sister Ellerie. Grandmother Tonya said that Heavenly Father must have had twin girls for the Dansies but since he knew Kelsey could only handle one at a time He sent them seperately. Dusty and Kelsey are wonderful parents and these little girls will be showered with great love and affection. The extended family on both sides will also be great help and examples for them.
