I just read someone else's blog, and she happened to mention that a new baby
should always be laid on his back in the crib to prevent SIDS
I find this very interesting.
Back in my baby years, from 1953-1967, the rule was:
*
NEVER FOR ANY REASON SHOULD YOU LAY A BABY ON HIS BACK.
BABY MUST ALWAYS BE LAID ON HIS STOMACH, TO AVOID CHOCKING
(OR WHATEVER IT WAS)
ALL 7 OF MY BABIES INSISTED ON LAYING ON THEIR BACKS,
AND NOT A ONE HAD ANY COMPLICATIONS
ONLY A COUPLE ENDED UP WITH A FLAT HEAD
Sorry, can't tell which ones
But that just goes to show you how things change:
NEVER SAY NEVER
the rules will be changed next year.
I'd say, let the baby decide for himself!

MOTHER'S DAY was an especially fun time for me. I got to give one of the talks in Sacrament meeting. I love giving talks, especially about my mother. One of the stories I told also included my Dad. When Mom was 12 years old, she went to the Logan temple to do baptisms for the dead. She loved being there, and told herself~~~~"When I get married, it's going to be in the Logan Temple" A year later she moved to Baker, Oregon, a long long drive from Logan.

In 1928 She had met my Dad, the man of her dreams
and they planned their wedding trip to Logan Temple. Very few people then had cars, but my Dad had a motorcycle and sidecar for his business. So Mom climbed in the sidecar and they were on their way. I can't remember just how long it took, but it was probably a windy ride.
My Dad's relatives lived all over Utah, so they stopped overnight with several of them, and Mom said it's a great way to get acquainted with new family.
I
I think that considering the ride and all, Mom's dress looked great!
What a classy looking couple
And just look at her, side-saddle in this pose.
All in all, the trip was great, and so was the marriage,
considering it lasted for 62 years!
They went back to the temple many times over
but only once on a motorcycle.
I was so blessed with such great parents
and always knew I was loved.
Thanks, Mom

My blog was SO happy to see the photos Karen put on.
It inspired me to get back in the mood. Last night Dee went to bed early
and I was feeling kind of down and lonely, then I remembered that I was asked
to give a 15 minute talk about my Mother on Mother's day.
Hooray! I love to give talks.
I seem to remember last year when the speakers wandered here and there, and I said
to Dee, "I wish they'd ever ask me to talk on Mother's day."
So, this is my year.
I got out a book of Mom memories, and just looking at the pictures stirs up my mind.
I can't believe it's been 19 years since she died. And I still think of her every day
So putting together a talk will be fun.
I've been reading a book by Leo Buscaglia I found in the attic clean-up
(brand new) called LIVING LOVING AND LEARNING
He sees JOY in all of life, and teaches me to jump into life fully.
One quote:
I think it's essential, to live life in wonder. All this magic that's around us,
but we let it go by! In Asia they say life is a great river, and it will flow,
no matter what you do or don't do. We can decide to flow with the river,
and live in peace and joy and love, OR we can decide to battle it, and live
in agony and despair. But the river doesn't care. Life doesn't care.
In either case
ALL OF OUR STREAMS RUN INTO THE SAME SEA
It's up to you.
SO
MY ADVICE FOR TODAY IS
JUMP IN!
Go with the flow and find peace and joy and love.

We all helped with the pruning in the orchard. Linn came over from Kennewic to help.


We cleaned the attic, hauled a truck full to the dump and had a huge bonfire with what was left.
I'm not sure what is wrong with Ruth's face - so here is a cuter picture of her:






Even Dasch took notes!



AMEN

I mean.....THE END

These are Karen's four youngest kids. Kimberly and Ben stopped by 2 weeks ago as they set out on a new adventure of finding jobs in the Seattle area - just because. Kimberly traded in her Salt Lake City job and Ben gave up his life in Idaho Falls in search of something better......updates to follow! They were very happy to stop by Grandma and Grandpa Fullers for the night and had enough room to stuff in Grandmas old crockpot and Grandpas tank of gas. Sarah is at BYU-I and looking for a fall intership in broadcasting (suggestions gladly accepted). And Samantha is counting down the days to Graduation and then off to BYU Provo in the fall.

It seems I have been under the weather for the past few weeks. Not sick, but a casualty of a fall. Always hurrying too fast, I fell down the 4 steps between the hallway and the dining room, taking the bannister I grabbed with me. In a total heap, I of course jumped up saying, "I'm all right, nothing broken" (thank heaven) But the next morning I found a lot of things that were bruised and sore. I must have really good bones, with all the falls I take they are still in tact.

But since then I have noticed that I'm more tired than usual, and some days feel "old" , at least older than before. I suppose that change has to come to everyone, and it has slowed me down, especially on stairs. In the end, Dee says my slowing down has helped him not feel so old, which is good. We should "be equally yoked" and all that, even in speed and pain.

It has given me time to just sit and ponder and meditate and read, all of which I love. And who knows? maybe it's just my turn to take life a bit slower. Things still hurt, but the bruises are mostly gone. I'm still tired. I can tell tht because I haven't even made my bed. I always used to make my bed first thing in the morning, but not lately. Just in case I want to get back in.

MAXINE
I'm sure you've all heard of Maxine...and all the little jokes going around on
the internet. Well, one day I was in a 2nd hand store, and there she was.


She is really supposed to be a cover for
a vacuum, which is where she is today.






So here she is in all her glory.


She was too cute to keep, so I sent her to my sister Beth in Utah.







In case you've never heard of her, here is a laugh for the day. Beth loved her!

I haven't posted lately, as you can see. This week we had more company than all winter put together. Linn spent a day here, had a dental appointment. Then we had the Elders for supper, nice young men. I used to be scared of missionaries, now they are the age of my grandsons! Nice to visit. Elaine and 3 girls stayed over coming and going to Seattle, where she photographed the wedding of Curt's nephew at the temple. We kept their little dog Bella while they were gone, a very cute little bundle of energy. Then Dee's brother Larry and wife Linda came to visit. Been a busy week.
