It's Been Two Years!!!

Where did the time go? So much has happened? After losing my last job working with students needing extra help, called special needs. I enjoyed it but was made uncomfortable in the Woke environment. So I resigned. I started back up teaching piano. We had a Christmas Recital 2021 and then one in Spring The students were great. At that time I had three sister, a young 5 yr old and two kids. They each took on one or two Christmas songs. In Payson, it's difficult to find students that really commit to practicing and want to study. I believe this is the vocation I will stay with until I can't. I can make exceptions to the three sister though. They surprise me by their dedication and hard work. One of them told me at first she didn't like it and was discouraged but after time she began to enjoy it more and more. She to this date is also practicing for the Spring Concert. I hope to have three more adults that will participate. I love teaching and sharing what the Lord has shown these many years.
My husband has been having several physical problems but with the help of the Lord, he is gradually getting better. We live in a small community and are blessed to have a lively church, Church for the Nations. It is there that I've found a place during the worship to dance with banners. I had never done it before, only danced once in church. For the last four years, we've enjoyed our granddaughter, Isa. When I took care of her last year, she enjoyed singing and dancing to the movie "Encanto"

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...
