frosty hue

when the new moon rises
over the silvery clouded hue,

and the lonely call of the coyote
distantly heard in the blue,

spooks the silent white owl
on his nightly forray calling who?

and the frost tipped whisker
of the bocats meow meew,

quivers and stills when at once
he winks and licks a speck of dew,

and quietly, soflty he drifts
into the deep dark midnight blue

the silent white owl keeps watch
as the coyote slinks off too.

what's up doc?

Robert has been to his kidney doctor. the one here in Idaho falls not slake. he's doing ok. got more pescriptions for him. he has so many different doctors Sometimes I can't keep track of who's who. he's doing ok though. keeping busy. he's been working alot of weekends lately and it is tiring him out and wearing him down.

on the mend

Rebbeca's arm is slowly mending. the doctor told her to come back in 3 weeks this last time. she was so worried that she would be wearing a cst for christmas. she is such a merry hearted person nothing gets her sown for long. she has learned to manage well on her own with one arm. she is also enjoying young womens imensly!!

computer what?

Steven is my computer helper. If I need help in any direction my Stevieis there to save the day. he downloads very nice pictures and uts them on my documents so that I can use them later. He is always so helpful to me. I am proud of the way he and the other teacher in our ward do the duty for 4. I'm so proud of my cheer giver.

David is enjoying school. he is very smart and does very well. he has good freinds and is kept busy @ church. I'm so proud of him when he blesses the sacrament. and he is so tall. 6'1"!
he is very artistic and keeps us on our toes with his creativity.

90"s

when I think of the number 90, I think of the lion king, the little mermaid, beeches, mulan, other tv sitcoms. the weird hair dos we had and the clothes we wore which are coming back into style. tonite I have another reason to think of the number 90. tonite Christapher
came home from taking his practicals and written test. he passed his course with a 90!!!!! on dec 12 he will take his nationals practical test and very soon he will take his nationals written. after passing those. he can practice as an EMT. I'm so proud of my son.

It's super walker!

my usual; weird dreams have taken a turn for the ridiculous. the other night I dreamed I was a racoon hunter and had to rescue people from bad hunters who suffered from garlick aroma. avoiding bullets like wonder woman and rescuing a pathetic looking cat from a black cage meant for coons and then escaping with the cat by mountain climbing on horse back and believe it or not being a "jacki chan" enthusiast; including the weird clothes he wears. I really can't stand Jacki chan and I would never mountain climb. although I hike steep trails ok. I've been on a horse a few times; not so great of an experience , so if the horse behaves, I 'll try that one. anyway I was doing all kinds of stunts. including driving a car on it's side. then my super powers must have been running low because I get attacked from behind and I feel it. and robert is in my dream and not deflecting the super alien ray from the other hunters very well and then I start to wake up and realize that Robert's fist is beneath my neck and upper back. I come more awake and realize that his fist is hurting and is propbably why I awoke in the first place. I told him next time he could not join my dream. If I'm a super dare person or whatever, Why would I need his help? got a few laughs over that one.

broken what?

Rebbeca has a great love for animals. sometimes I wonder if they love her as much back. 2 weeks ago, she tripped over a stray dog while trying to walk/ run around him and landed on the palms of her hands breaking her left arm in both bones.. they put her in a soft cast. then yesterday they put her in a hard cast. we're still awaiting to see if she will need surgery . if her bones don't grow together enough by next week. at the first checkup, he had to straighten her top bone. yesterday he had to straighten it again. hopefully it will stay straight. she manages "just". I have to help her with most things. her cast is so heavy and she has to wear a sling because she can't support the weight of her cast by herself.

maaaaa

Steven is busy with the goats. he is busy with school and just loves to tease and kid around alot. he is pretty good at making others happy by being himself.

A what.

David is busy getting straight A's. he is making chainmale. he uses bits of copper wire he finds around. he also has a metal one as well. very impressive.

scrub this!

Christapher is enjoying his EMT classes. he bought some scrubs yesterday and tomorow he is doing people contacts.he needs 14. hopefully he can get them all tomorrow. then he has some class time left and then the test!

wooden what?

Robert has been busy carving a beautiful cane for mom for Christmas. the handle is a bird and the front has a scout emblem and her name in decals? it will be gorgeaous. we showed it to her in rough undecorated stages so we could measure the length itneeded to be. she loves it. he plans to do another cane for a lady in our ward. before mom's, he carved one for his dad that had the head of an eagle.
