Grandma may be able to do it????????

Dear bloggers: It may take me a while but I may be able to do this. Nothing much going on here except Mar 31 is the deadline to get off the winter snow tires. So my good neighbor carried my regular tires out of the back shed and put them in the car for me on Tuesday night ne guess what it snowed like heck all night and half of the next day--even though the powers that be says get your tires off on March 31 and this is the 25th--knowing that Grandpa used to get up early to be at Les Schwabs bright and early so he wouldn't have to wait for hours to get his tires changed. I knew that was not in my schedule to do that. So about 3 oclock it stopped snowing and so me I thought AH now is the time for me to go get my tires changed. And off I goooo--believe it or not I had to wait only about 10 minutes but guess what--and I did remember that some time Grandpa said I was going to h--ave to buy new tires--and it was then so about a half hour later off I go home only about $439.08 later with brand new tires and a lot of snow on the ground. But at least I didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn or wait hours to get my tires changed.

Ha--so here comes Thursday and it is a nice day and all the snow melts and I do have my new tires and ready to go where ever I want to. I do believe the first long trip I will be going is down to Connies when Jenny is there with the babies. In case you don't know my sister Roberta is coming from Georgia to see see me and we are planning that jaunt. I guess if I want to or I not I will be a gad about Grandma. So much for this time--home the blogging is working.

Going to Utah

On Monday at 830 am Ivy and I left La Grande to go to Connies--we were looking for snow weather but did not find anyuntil we got to Preston, Idaho about 7 miles from our destination. And then to our surprise there was 12 inches of new snow and Connie fretting to death that we had trouble. But no it was a safe trip.
So Carl unloaded the car and Ivy went on her way to the Smiths home and Connie and Carl had dinner ready. So off to bed at the regular time.
Today Michele and Olivia came throuogh the drifted snow from Logan and visited for a time and once chance that Wayne had to havae lunch withher, she wasn't home--so in no time she was on her way to meet her hero. I almost bought Wayne a new shirt it had a picture of a couple with a ball and chain and in big letters GAME OVER but I didn't get it. Wish I had.

Welcome to Mom's Blog!

I created a new blog for my mom, so she could join all of us in sharing her life with us on the internet! One of the glitches that has come up by me creating it under my name, is that my name will appear as she posts her blogs and makes comments on other blogs. I'm not sure how to fix that, but hope you will be able to sort it all out! After this one, the rest of what you see on this blog will be all her! Hope you enjoy! Connie
