  • Happy Birthday Katie

    My baby, Katie, is having a birthday.  Alright… she’s not a baby anymore… she’s going on…. well… you know… “thirty something.”  But… she’ll always be my baby… and by the way… my baby is going to have a baby in a few days. This photo is as far as I got in trying to snap…

  • Enjoying The Summer Harvest Of Goodness

    Yes, I’m enjoying the summer harvest of fruits and veggies. I truck down to my favorite produce store… Farmer Grant’s Vineyard Garden… and load up on veggies a couple of times a week. Tomatoes and cucumbers are my favorites. They’re like Mexican Food…. I could eat it every day. Today, on my way down to…

  • Anniversary Of World Trade Center Attack

    The attack on the World Trade Center seven years ago still burns bright in my mind. The event certainly changed the world… at least the thinking of the citizens of the United States. Like many citizens, I never thought this country would be attacked from a foreign invader. 911 was a wake up call for…

  • Cell Phones & Text Messages Aren’t For Real

    Yesterday, my cell phone went South. I just purchased my phone two months ago… and it froze while I was calling a number. Yikes! I immediately ran to the Verizon Store for assistance. By the time I got there… the phone battery was dead. They thought it might be the fact that I needed to…

  • Utah WordPress Geeks Meet Again

    The Utah WordPress Geeks Meet again… and Sheila and I were just about as lost in the conversation as we were the last time the gang got together. I said…”Just about.” Which means… we understood enough to be interested in what was going on. We’re getting there. I find this group to be so interesting……

  • Mount Timpanogos Legend

    The Mount Timpanogos Legend came to my mind early this week when I looked up and saw the “Sleeping Woman” dusted with snow. It’s a bit early to be seeing snow… but the weather man says it’s just a blip… thank goodness… because I’m certainly not ready for winter. I had my two grandson’s with…

  • China’s Caught With It’s Pants Down Again

    China’s caught with it’s pants down again. Just let the foreign media into that country for a few months… and all kinds of things get exposed which China would rather not have the world know. China invited the world to take a look at the glitz and glamour of the country by way of the…

  • China Olympics Finale – A Proud People

    The China Olympics Finale was spectacular…all the fireworks, lights, and the thousands of entertainers were breath taking. China sure does know how to put on a show. The stravaganza would not have been possible without the thousands of the individual Chinese people who contributed their time and labor and resourcefulness for the cause. The world…

  • The China Olympics – Where Have All The Children Gone?

    “Where have all the children gone?” This was one of the first questions I ask when I was in China. That’s when I became fully aware of the China One Child Policy. This policy was put into effect about 1979 under the leadership of Chairman Deng Xiaoping… who was also in control during the Tiananmen…
