Wow, Do I look That Old!

I am now 52 , Yup that's right 52 ,I thought by now I would have a head full of gray hair.So I wonder how old do I look . give me a good guess. For my birthday I got a foot message from Lucia, A hug from Kieora and Michael gave me European chocolates, William and Natalie sent me 2 chicken books. I love chickens.
In other news Lucia took 5th in Panguitch this week Tishel took 8th . Kieora has been gone alot with volleyball ,she is the teem manager.
Michael fixed up the back of the house the cover to the crawl space was falling apart and catching the watter from the rain and funneling it right under the house . Its all new now and he removed the old grow box and planter and repaired the wood that coverd  the connection of the house to the foundation. . It really made a difference too the house . Now if we could just get the leak under the bathroom fixed ,the hole in the little bathroom floor fixed and the addition done . things would really look nice .
I taught my lesson today , I am the 3rd sunday teacher I dont know why I always think I am the 2nd sunday teacher . Some glitch in my brain.
It was a hard lesson for me to teach . The gathering of Israel. I have been studying and pondering it all week . Its just a hard one for me to bring excitement to. I asked one of the ladies in our ward when she knew she was spiritually gathered in . she told of how she was ridding in a car with her friend and they had both babies with them ,before car seats, so they were just on the seat beside her,one on each side .everyone in the front seat, when they ran into a heard of cows that had bedded down all across the road ,she said she put an arm around each baby ducked her head and closed her eyes and prayed . when she opened her eyes they were past the cows , she looked at her friend and asked how did you get past the cows and her friend said I don't know I shut my eyes too. that's when the sister in my ward sad she realized God loved her ,He was aware of her and how her life was . she testified that the Lord answers prayers some quick some take 20 years but he always answers
I know this too .
I love you all , Mamita

  1. I don't think you look old at all. You are aging with grace or you simply managed to stop time. I hope you had a great birthday. Maybe it is time for us to start looking like grandmas.

    Sorry to hear you are the 3rd week teacher. I guess we are on different lessons. I'm getting ready for signs of the 2nd coming on the 2nd week. I sure liked the family oriented ones better but there is lots for me to learn.
