I have this really great uncle named LH, his real name is Louis Henry but no one ever calls him that. Today is his birthday he is 70hmmmmm. I called him early and they were already out and about. That's what kind of a guy he is. He is always doing something, building, cleaning, serving, creating and a ton of other things. He worked for my Dad for many years and was a loyal, trusted employee, and a great friend to my Dad. He had quite a mind, like my Dad's for numbers, and could add quickly in his head and retain those figures forever, it seemed like. He and Aunt Jean have been bright spots to our family for many years. They were the first in our family to adopt children. They have two. Their children are just like any ones you get of your own sometimes great and sometimes trials, but you love them anyway. Because of their example I didn't have any problems adopting my four. Thank you for a great example. My Aunt Jean is the very best cook and Uncle LH is the best consumer of her great cooking. My own son is one who appreciates her cooking. They have kind of adopted him or visa-versa, which is a great blessing as he needed a man who he could look up to and emulate, and Uncle LH is one of the best. My family gave him a birthday party, and I wish I could have been there. One thing about Uncle LH and Aunt Jean is they don't stay around too long, so visit them quickly while they are around. I love them both very much.
The condo is coming along well. WE are in and it has been 3 nights there. I am sleeping well. Its not unusual for me to sleep well, I just have to be quiet for a moment or two and I'm out. Marissa and Mason have had a more difficult time adjusting to their new bed, they bought a memory foam mattress to put on top of the king. I sure miss them, but I will adjust.
Today in mission devotional we had my favorite scripture 1 Nephi 3:7 I will add the previous verse.
6. Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord, because thou hast not MURMURED.
7. And it came to pass that I Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord,hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

Great Friday.
Here we are at Friday, a decent day outside, I was nearly 60 degrees. I have had an interesting week. Yesterday, two of the guys found the blackberry cell that belonged to the HR lady, she had left it at a meeting. They had a great time with the phone, they took it to many places on campus, covered the face of the phone with a scarf as if she was being held hostage,they took pictures and emailed them to the owner. They set up an email site for bblackberry, it was fun and funny. They were so creative with the emails it is great to work with people who can have fun and work too. Anyway, she got her phone back today after paying the ransom of chocolate. She was a very good sport about it all. They had fun conjuring up the plot.
Last night was the quarterly devotional for the Headquarters Missionaries. We take a potluck and get together to become more acquainted and have a speaker. The speaker was one from our department he works in our filming service. He had taught seminary for 20 years and then was asked to work in production. He helped create many of the church films, the most recent is the Emma Smith movie. It came out in theaters here on the 11th. If you are interested in when it will be in your area go to the website emmasmithmovie.com and you can find out. He told of many things that happened to show the Lord's hand in helping them to accomplish their goals. Once when they were getting ready to film a scene on a river boat in the Emma Smith movie, they found only one riverboat that was still available, the other was lost in hurricane Katrina. They needed three days to set up, film and clean up, and the boat had only 3 times available for the setting. He chose a day in early spring, they tried to dissuade him for a later date because the weather there is still not good, but he felt that was the day they should use. On Monday when they were setting up, it was a bad rainy day, it didn't look good for the shoot. Everyone was praying for a good day the next day, he said he didn't sleep much that night as it was pouring all night. They got things together and set up and were prepared, and the sun came out and it was a beautiful day, all day while they were shooting, and they were able to get all of the work done, and the next day when they were cleaning up it was back to rain. He said it was the only good day in that area in over a two month period. Another time, they were doing a shoot in the holy land with President Hinckley, they had made arrangements for the shoot at the garden tomb. Everything was in place and space was limited. He said he gave Sister Hinckley a small portable screen so that she could see what they were filming. When the were finished, she said, Isn't he the just the cutest. He thought that might come from a teenager not a person that had been married many years, he was so impressed with their love and care for each other. And one more story, I wish I could tell them as good as he did, since I wasn't there and my memory isn't what it used to be, I will do my best. The department was making a film on each of the 12, and they were going to do a part for Neal A. Maxwell, it was when he was undergoing chemo and he had become considerably weak. Elder Maxwell wanted to do his at an observatory in Southern Calif, they arranged for everything to be there and Elder Maxwell was escorted from SLC to Calif. He wanted to show that this is a world wide church. When they arrived, they were greeted by a woman there who was extremely knowledgeable about the universe. As they were walking down the hall, there were murals along the hall and Elder Maxwell began to tell her about each picture as they walked passed it. She was very impressed with his knowledge and sent and aid to fetch all of the other professors on the compound to come and hear Elder Maxwell. They all came and were very impressed and finished the shoot. Then when they were finished, Elder Maxwell asked him if he had the names of all of those who were there, he said when he got home he wanted to send them all "The Book". And many other things I have forgotten. There was also a missionary there who sang a song that his son had written when he was in the Holy Land at the Tomb. "He is not here!" he is risen. It was very impressionable and the missionary had a great voice, we were all moved.
Earlier that day (Thursday) I had picked up ingredients to make a fruit salad with instant Jello pudding in it. I ran to the house a noon time to put it together so it would be relatively fresh for the potluck. Well, somehow the Jello had not gotten into the grocery bag at the market.And then I cut my finger on one of the cans and had to go the the market for jello AND bandaids, and this took much longer that one hour for lunch. It was a great day anyway.
Poor Jared ( my helper at the condo) was trying to remove this 120 X 48 inch mirror. He stumbled on a board we have had there (I don't know where it came from) and the mirror broke every where. That's one way to get the mirror out. I am just happy no one was hurt.
And, yesterday, I talked to Taylor. He was traveling from PHX to Silver City, we had a nice long talk as he was driving thru Safford. I so much enjoy talking to my children. He had done very well and I am proud of his effort to do good.
I also talked to Ashley this morning, she said maybe Whitney would come up here and stay with them for a while. This would be good as she does need help, she has been having to go to the hospital each afternoon for a couple of hours to learn what she needs to do to take care of Sam when he goes home. They need someone to take care of the baby. By the way, he sure is cute and is really growing. This Saturday, Sam will be going home for dinner. Everyone is quite excited and I am sure he is too, that ole hospital must get pretty tiring..
Marissa is feeling much better, and has been going to work part time, the cake is still baking.
My friend YLonni went to St. George this weekend, I sure would have like to have gone with them. I get to teach a Sunday School lesson on Sunday so was unable to go, I would have enjoyed the warmer weather.
Love you,
Zgranee

Move In This Week
Things are not exactly finished, but good enough to move in. It will take a while to clear away the dust. Linda has moved many things in, she has all of the household goods, and last night I bought a bed so I'M ready. All I need is a place to sleep and take a shower, food is optional at this point and you can grab something anywhere or everywhere.
Last night I had to make an emergency run to PF Chaings to get Marissa some WonTon Soup, she said it was the only thing that sounded good. She has been feeling better and returned to work part time for this week, and if she is back to par, full time next week. Mason took Friday, Monday and Tuesday off for a break, Marissa used all of her vacation time so he took the few days he had. Yesterday, he painted his office downstairs blue and white. It looks nice. The bed I bought was a King size, they (Marissa and Mason) are trying it out and if they like it, I will take their Queen size. Seems Marissa would like more room, she has always like the whole bed since she was a child, if you slept with her you got the edge and she had the rest of the bed. At least, it has been fun to chide her all these years as being the bed hog.
Helen left yesterday, she was here for a week for her birthday. On Thursday she turned 30 years old. I told her the thirties are the best years, you finally have enough sense to enjoy and appreciate the good things in life. It will be an interesting journey, none the less. We had fun spending time together, sometimes I think she was bored when I had to work, and she spent a few days sitting with Marissa. One afternoon, she went to Thanksgiving Point with YLonni to see the tulips, only they aren't out yet as we are experiencing a colder than average winter. We went on Friday and both of us had hair cuts, she took one look at the hairdresser and said "is that who is going to cut our hair???". He did a good job any way and she was quite pleased as he showed her how to use the diffuser and make her frizzy hair, curly. She was delighted. She went to church with us older missionaries on Sunday, and I took her to the devotional yesterday morning before we went to the airport. Elder Jensen was speaking. He gave us the history of the Church Historian, a position to which he has been called. It was very interesting. We are so fortunate, the church records everything so there is no secrecy, and everything is available to everyone. All talks etc, have to go through curriculum to make sure the doctrine is always correct. This gives me, at least, security that what I am being taught is always correct principles.
Ashley and Sam are doing well. Helen and I went to see Sam, he was feeding himself and eating watermelon. He had a regular fork that had been bent and slipped into a cloth pocket wrapped around his hand and he could maneuver the fork and feed himself. He had an egg salad sandwich which I cut up for him to eat easier. He seemed to be doing well. He has about a month more of hospital stay and therapy. Now, Ashley is supposed to go week days one to three PM and is receiving training on how best to help Sam. Carol is here this week (until Thursday) and is watching Baby Benjamin, but when she leaves, Marissa will meet Ashley at the hospital and help with the baby. He is getting so cute and should have been named Sam Junior. Ashley is such a good little mother, I am so proud of these two kids, they are always positive and looking forward and upward. I am sure they are overwhelmed at times but they stride onward.
IF you are blogging, check out Karen and Ben's blog, johnsonconcoction.blogspot.com for the latest news on house and baby. She also has some very cute pics of their family and Rogers wedding.
One more thing, Helen and I went to the Salt Lake Temple, it was the first time she had been through a live session and she loved it. Her mom on the other hand had a bad case of dropsy. We were a few minutes early and so I told Helen I would take a quick 10 Minute nap and then I would not sleep through the session. Well, I couldn't wake up. Every time we had to move to another room, I quickly fell back to sleep, and Helen kept having to elbow me to keep me doing things when I needed to do them. I just could not stay awake. I'm sure if I were taking a nap at home I would not have slept so well.
Well, I will sign off for now.
Much love

Wednesday Already, Whew!!!
I wish the days wouldn't pass by so quickly. I have been so busy since then, that it seems conference weekend was a long time ago. Today is no different, its already 4:25p. I was so happy to get to go to conference on both Saturday and Sunday AM. It is nice to watch on TV, but it is great to be there in person. The music is incredible. My TV doesn't even touch the wonder of the music that fills the Conference Center. It touches and fills my soul too. I am so thankful for that beautiful music, and it is fun to watch for Bruce and Vivienne. This Sunday we got a full shot of Bruce at the end of a song, it was great. In the afternoons, I watched with Marissa. She was and still is on rest mode.
On Monday they implanted two of the eggs. I was going to post them but Marissa said "NO", isn't that neat though, they took pictures of the embryos and gave them to Marissa & Mason. By the way, I was in trouble for telling you how many eggs, Marissa said that was "too much information". So disregard that info. OK!! Anyway, she is on rest, can't move around only to go to the potty, and she does that as she has to drink lots of liquid. Even Gatorade!!!! That stuff is horrible to me, it would surely kill me if I drank as much as she is and she has drunk gallons of it.
I forget the date when she goes in to test if it is a pregnancy. She still has to take a shot everyday. Then if the procedure takes, and she is pregnant, more shots.
I must admit though that she is taking it all in stride and doing well.
I sat with her yesterday,wellllllll, I wouldn't actually call it sitting. I vacuumed both floors, cleaned two bathrooms and put the old rug downstairs and the new rugs came so I put them upstairs. I was one tired momma. In between, we watched a great movie "Ladies in Lavender". It is an English film, I had seen it before it is quite good if you get a chance to see it. Marissa felt bad because I was doing all the work, I told her not to worry. Oh, the reason I am working is that today the adoption lady comes for a home visit. We were trying to make everything spiffy. Anyway, it is good incentive to get the house in order and clean.
On Tuesday, the carpet men came in and put in the carpet. Last night, the electrician came and finished the electrical work. On Saturday, the trim man ran out of trim so they went to get some more today and hope to finish the trim soon.
After the trim, all that is left is the painting. I am hoping to move in this weekend as Helen comes on Monday the 14th. I have to come to work to rest. Ha!Ha!
For those of you not in the SLC area, it is Apr 9th and this AM was 36 degrees and rain, cloudy and rainy all day, and snow, more snow on the mountains. They are closing some of the ski areas this weekend. Taylor said he may come up next week to go snowboarding. He is in-between projects. Work is going well, and everyone survived conference weekend. It ran smoothly without any major problems. We do have quite a professional crew and I am happy for them.
D&C 101:16 Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in my hands; be still and know that I am God. Sometimes, life gets so hectic, we need to take a few minutes to be calm and feel the spirit.
Know that I love you,

Joy in the Morning!
Tomorrow morning we will have the honor of a solemn assembly to sustain President Monson as President of the Church. It doesn't matter where you are you can still add your vote. I am so excited as I have two tickets to go and my friend ylonni is going with me. Everyone here on this floor, audiovisual and translation have been working so hard to get everything in place for this weekend. There are general authorities, area 70's and presidents here from all around the world for this special occasion. The building has been bustling with people everywhere, and many of them visited our department. A once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I am so thankful to be here.
The cabinets are in and it looks so nice. The man did a great job. This weekend, Mason will finish the painting, and a gentleman will come on Saturday and put in the baseboard, the carpet is scheduled for Tuesday and I'm in!!!
On Wednesday Marissa when to the doctor and the were able to harvest 16 eggs, they have been fertilized and 2 of the best ones will be implanted on Monday. She has to stay down for seven days. Please say and extra prayer for her, she has worked so hard for this. Night before last when Mason gave her her first shot, she was crying and so was I, it isn't easy to see your children in pain, especially a softee like me.
I was excited to get an email from Karen saying she is now a blogger, she always has such great emails on the kids antics and their goings and comings I look forward to reading them. Good Work Karen.
Much love to you all.

Spring?????????
These crazy spring days.
On the positive side, it has been warmer, I'm still surviving.
Some great news, Heather and Dave have a new baby Boy, named Elijah (Eli for short), born Thursday 27 March. He was still in the hospital yesterday, he has pneumonia, I guess this happens to babies who are early and are born by ceaserean birth. But the mom is doing well, and was able to nurse him for the first time. He is in the baby ICU unit so we haven't been able to see him, only pictures but he is beautiful. He has a red hair potential. Heather and Dave produce the cutest boys. Contrats to them and good news her parts are still good. What a blessing to have these new wonderful spirits in our family.
By the way, I have all this news because I talked to Grandpa (Bubba) yesterday. Also, a great report on Roger's wedding in Silver City, it all went well. They saw Chuck my brother. They are back home and very busy again.
A set back on the condo, the cabinets didn't get here in time. So now the new date for install of incorrect cabinets is Thursday. The electrician can't come until Monday, I don't know if I have to reschedule the carpet until another day as he is coming on Tuesday. Yesterday, I finished another closet I have one left to paint. I will be happy to be so close to work. I'm very tired of the one hour commute.
At work I have been very busy as everyone is busy getting ready for conference. I hope you are getting ready too. My friend Yvonne has been concerned that she is unable to help me, I told her she is helping, she always has something good for me to eat, even if it is at 9 at night. Last night she had pinto beans and hotdogs, now how much better can you get than that, add a little chili peppers and walla, a kings dinner. (oops, a queen's dinner)
This morning, I received an email from my dear one who went to California for spring break (along with a million other people) I can't wait to hear of all of their adventures. These girls are so lucky to have parents that do so many things with them, and on a shoe-string-budget,too. She is amazing in my eyes.
I was talking to Alisa (Marissa's neighbor & Friend) and she showed me her blog and challenged me to write "100 things about me", so I will put it on my blog when I am finished. This is not an easy task to find 100 interesting things about yourself, if you have any ideas, let me know, it is going slow. I have more pictures to post, maybe next time I will take the time to post them.
Scripture: 3 Nephi 9:13-15
13 ...will you not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?
14 ...if ye come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arem of mercy is extended towards you and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me.
15. Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God....
What love!!
Have a great day and know that I love you.
On the positive side, it has been warmer, I'm still surviving.
Some great news, Heather and Dave have a new baby Boy, named Elijah (Eli for short), born Thursday 27 March. He was still in the hospital yesterday, he has pneumonia, I guess this happens to babies who are early and are born by ceaserean birth. But the mom is doing well, and was able to nurse him for the first time. He is in the baby ICU unit so we haven't been able to see him, only pictures but he is beautiful. He has a red hair potential. Heather and Dave produce the cutest boys. Contrats to them and good news her parts are still good. What a blessing to have these new wonderful spirits in our family.
By the way, I have all this news because I talked to Grandpa (Bubba) yesterday. Also, a great report on Roger's wedding in Silver City, it all went well. They saw Chuck my brother. They are back home and very busy again.
A set back on the condo, the cabinets didn't get here in time. So now the new date for install of incorrect cabinets is Thursday. The electrician can't come until Monday, I don't know if I have to reschedule the carpet until another day as he is coming on Tuesday. Yesterday, I finished another closet I have one left to paint. I will be happy to be so close to work. I'm very tired of the one hour commute.
At work I have been very busy as everyone is busy getting ready for conference. I hope you are getting ready too. My friend Yvonne has been concerned that she is unable to help me, I told her she is helping, she always has something good for me to eat, even if it is at 9 at night. Last night she had pinto beans and hotdogs, now how much better can you get than that, add a little chili peppers and walla, a kings dinner. (oops, a queen's dinner)
This morning, I received an email from my dear one who went to California for spring break (along with a million other people) I can't wait to hear of all of their adventures. These girls are so lucky to have parents that do so many things with them, and on a shoe-string-budget,too. She is amazing in my eyes.
I was talking to Alisa (Marissa's neighbor & Friend) and she showed me her blog and challenged me to write "100 things about me", so I will put it on my blog when I am finished. This is not an easy task to find 100 interesting things about yourself, if you have any ideas, let me know, it is going slow. I have more pictures to post, maybe next time I will take the time to post them.
