It's blogging time again!

Again, we've had a lovely day today. The wonderful men finished the sprinkling system and I think I'm going to get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow to watch it go off! Thanks again to everyone who helped on this mammoth project!

Dennis and I ran up to Crandall's cabin tonight to take a part to an ATV that was broken

(which we took a new one up and Dennis installed it) and now the ATV is working perfect!

That's one other wonderful quality about Dennis, he always says, "Return it or Leave it, in better shape than you found it" (when you borrow something or use something) So, luckily it slipped right into place and we found ourselves mounting an ATV each and going for a beautiful ride about 7 p.m. Oh, it was glorious, in fact, I kept thinking about a poem I needed to write and the words were pouring into my head as we drove around.

I came home and sat down and wrote the whole thing out without crossing anything out.

I guess it was a "meant to be poem", and I'm going to include it at the end of this blog so

I won't forget that I wrote it for us. You're welcome to skip it if you want.

Dennis felt good today and not as tired, so that was a plus. He is out at the airport picking up my brother, Bill, who is coming out to go fishing with Dennis and my other brother Jay. They planned this on the week that Dennis wasn't having a treatment hoping he would feel like going...and he does....and they're going! They will have a ball, they all get along so well.

Last night, our good friends and former neighbors, Rob and Judy Reese came over for a visit and it was so good to see them. They have made quite a few visits and we appreciate them so much. Rob used to be in our Stake Presidency, until they moved, and he and Judy have such a wonderful spirit about them. Every time they come, Rob has offered to leave us with a prayer and I really think he knows how to talk to God. What beautiful blessings he asks for. We are so grateful to them and hope they will continue to buoy us up like they always do.

It's late and I'm leaving you with my poem:

Just Me and My Honey

Just me and my sweet honey, riding Crandall's ATV's,

Riding through the mountains underneath the old pine trees.

Clear blue skies above us, not a cloud is in our sight,

If it's only at this moment, every thing just seems all right.

The wind blows on my face and bugs hit in my eyes,

It doesn't even bother me, and that makes me surprised.

'Cause I'm right here with my honey, making memories,

All because we're riding on Crandall's ATV's.

We've seen animals a plenty; deer and moose galore,

Riding 'round for hours and my fanny isn't sore!

Oh, I love the freedom, that I feel tonight,

If it's only for the moment, everything just seems all right.

No bills, no heat, no cancer; Dennis by my side,

Oh, let's just keep on going on this wondrous little ride.

Off into the sunset, lovers side by side,

'Cause we're both together on this perfect ride.

Don't let this time be over; don't make us be apart,

'Cause riding here together, we're feeling heart to heart.

But, dreams must have an ending, and this one must end too,

But, I always will remember riding ATV's with you!

That is dedicated to my sweet husband, may we always be as much in love as we are after these 46 years. I am a blessed woman to have him by my side.

If anyone out there is reading this blog, I would love it if you would just sign in under the "comment" section, so I'll know who is sharing this with us. It means so much to know you care enough to read this and if you read this I know that you believe in miracles and you know how to pray! THANKS!
