Mama Mia!!!!
I find myself saying that a lot after seeing the movie twice and am going with another friend this week!  I went last week with Andy and we laughed and cried all the way thru it.  For some reason I did neither when I saw it with Bud.  Then we left the theatre and raced to Target in her beautiful little Crossfire Convertible to buy the sound track.  So now here is a picture for you -----after I do my pilates I dance in front of my armoire mirrors to Mama Mia!!  I die laughing at myself.  I should be really healthy due to the exercise, Usana, and now I laugh real hard everyday!!!  They say that can add years to your life.  Wouldn't all of your lives be boring without me in it??  I am so ready for fall and so sick of hot summer and dead heading flowers.  Next year I am going to put plastic ones in my window boxes and anything that has resembled a flower bed will be filled up with bushes!  We are celebrating Bud's big 72 next week at a gorgeous park here in Bountiful and sure wish everyone could be here but I couldn't afford that much chicken so it's just as well.  Course I guess I could cook it myself but then my flowers wouldn't get deadheaded!  We had "my tacos" for an early dinner tonight and now we are headed out to finish the gate on the new fence and then just a couple more projects and we are done and hopefully what we have done this summer will make things easier next.  All you kids are either heading back to school or already there.  Hope it is a wonderful year  for all of you.  I have a favorite country western song that talks about a little girl learning to color and trying to stay in the lines and then it goes on to her growing up and among other things learning to drive and staying in the lines.  Then the message of course is that if we all "STAY IN THE LINES" then our lives will take us to wonderful places instead of dead ends where we have to turn around and start over.
Try to remember that this school year and it will make a difference I know!  I love you beautiful kids so much and your parents so much.  All I need is for all of you to be happy!!!  And just because we have this cyberspace stuff doesn't mean Nana wouldn't love a phone call once in awhile to let me know what is going on in your lives!!!!!
Hugs and Kisses!!
Nana
