you all brought a smile to my face:) thanks

Very funny Donny.

The last couple of days have convinced me that May is my favorite month. Everything has greened up, the days have been intoxicatingly beautiful, and are stretching toward their full summer length. Waking to birds singing out of an open window brings a rare smile to my morning face. Snow capped peaks punctuate the blue sky.

But each season holds it's secrets. As I discover each of them anew, I'm persuaded that the present is, indeed, my favorite. I love the seasons!

so much for blogging

Dear Hearts: Yesterday was a real celebration for me and the fact that you came and were so consoling and sweet made all the difference. I love you and find my family truly are the treasure of my life. Anyway, now it's time to prepare a RS lesson and get some laundry folded. Life just doesn't skip a beat and I am thankful today for routine. It has been a treat to read your entries and catch up on what I've missed for the last week. Know that even though my heart is heavy I am constantly reflecting on the joy of family...we are so blessed! Liz is dancing at her school tonight if any of you need a little diversion. Do I sign off or what?

I think Grandma was happy with her service yesterday. And what a peaceful day, and in such a beautiful spot to be laid to rest! Your mom felt like she was with us at the service and at the funeral.

I felt very sorry for Anna Lee. I don't know how much registered with her, but I saw her very upset at times. Your grandpa was strong. I know it helped him to be surrounded by his family.

And, it was nice to have my sweet mother here with us. She told me she made the trip to be with you grandkids. As I sent her off with Ed and Valerie to go visiting and then to the airport, I watched her mouth working all the way out of the parking lot. And I knew it would be for the rest of the afternoon!

DSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

hi everyone I have always wondered what blogger was like and now I know its actually pretty cool and I enjoy reading what everyone has to say and whats up with them.I am very sad that Grandma died but I am much hapier that she is in a better place I hope that grandpa will be alright and he will be in my prayers.

Nice to see a posting from Ed. Good practice for your English major! And, Danny...I must say, "blog off" was pretty good.

Thank you to all of you for coming over yesterday. It's so important to be together during a time of grieving. You all made Mothers day very nice for your mom.

Look for your grandmother's obituary in today's paper. Overlook the one recognizable typo (Audree found two).

Come on guys, we need to get every one BLOGG'N!!!!! it seems like it is only Dad! I'll be listening and if things just stay the same, you'll all be sorry, I'll punish you all!!!!! ok i'm done, bye

Hey, this is Joe, I am doing my first blogg, Thank you danny for showing me how it's done. It was sad for me to see grandma leave. But I know that she is much happier now, and that brings me to peace. I really enjoyed the little outing that Mom, Dad, and the married kids went on, I really like daves kitchen. I learnd not to judge a book by it's cover, cause that place didn't have a very good cover. the food was really good there, I've learned to love asian food. I hope the movie was good, mine was ok, it was a good movie for the most part. ( is it just me, or is dad the only one that writes in this thing?!?!) So ya, those are my feelings for today. c-ya!

Grandma Bonnee is gone. If you haven't seen the picture Nathan took at the cemetary last week, you need to see it. I think it pretty much says it all.

The funeral will be at Noon on Wednesday, with a gathering for family and friends at 11AM. After the funeral, we'll go to the cemetary for the dedication of the grave, and then back to the church for a family meal.

Bonnee leaves a wondrful legacy. I'm happy that her suffering is over and that she is now at peace. I'm sorry for those she leaves behind. It was heart wrenching to see George grieving yesterday. I loved my mother in law dearly, and will miss her.
