Trip to see children and grandboys: Part 3

After a day of travel we made it to Utah and got to see the boys before they went to bed.  they had been watching our progress on their iPad so they knew where we were.  When we got to their house Colin was asleep in his swing no one else was there. we looked high and low and found them in the back under the porch hiding from us.










 Friday we all went to Salt Lake to pick up Emma from the airport who had had her own adventure with the young women in our ward.  We went to Temple Square.



















Standing in the place we were engaged 30 years ago.


That evening we decorated Easter eggs. Everyone had fun dyeing the eggs and even fingers.









Saturday morning we had three Easter egg hunts.

Saturday for lunch we met the Cook's at Zupas' best food ever.  It was so good to see the family and have a chance to talk. 







I had a wonderful time visiting family.  Its not what we do but who we do it with that makes it memorable.  I love my family so much.  The time went by so fast.  Now we can keep the memories in our hearts.

A new Adventure

I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins.

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
