Dolphin Stress Test

The picture posted here has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at Loma Linda Medical Center.Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study of a group revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The number of differences observed matches closely to the amount of stress the observer is experiencing.Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may be experiencing stress.

I went to the Doctor on Thursday and she said I had had a heart attack and that I needed to go for a stress test on Tuesday to see if there are any blockages. My family knows this scares me to death since I just recently went out to see my mom who had suffered a heart attack and lost my dad to a heart attack when he was 59 yrs. old. My brother had to go through it to when he was 52. I guess it's my turn. I thought she was crazy when she did the ekg until she showed it to me. Now if I can get through the stress test ok I will be much better. It scares the bajeebees out of me. So if you see me walking alot lately around the neighborhood with John you'll know I am trying to get my heart strong.

Only in Utah

Snow Mobiling at Mirror Lake

We went snow mobiling last friday at Mirror lake. It was
a beautiful day and we found lots of meadows and hills to
ride in the snow. Then on Saturday we went to the Little
Sahara sand dunes where it was nice and warm. Utah is such
a neat state that in certain areas it can be cold while in
other areas it can be warm. We are planning a trip to Lake
Powell next week to catch some stripped bass and enjoy the
water and climate before it gets to hot there. We plan on
going camping with my son in law's parents. We enjoy taking
trips with them. We are good friends and have the grandkids
in common. Gary's family feels like my own family. We always
have a good time when we get together. Hope we catch a lot of
fish....

Triple Crown (dedicaded to my dad)

This is the first part of the triple crown horse races it will be shown on
saturday May 3, 2008 ever since I was a little girl my family loved horse
racing. My dad knew how to pick a winner by the way the horse would prance,
have no sweat down his legs or the way they hold their heads. My friend Amanda
inspired me by her blog to make one for my memories and my family.
My dad died May 2, 1993 so this is a tribute to him also. We went all over
to the horse races in many states including florida to watch them run.
Every year the triple crown which is the top 3 horse races of the year starting
with the kentucky derby, then in my home state Maryland for the preakness and finally in New York for the belmont. My dad picked a lot of winners in the past years. My mom picks a lot now. I love the kentucky derby with the beautiful horses and the ladies donning their hats. It is just a part of spring to me.

Gasoline Keeps going up and up

The price of gas is getting to be crazy. They say it will reach
4.00 a gallon by this summer. This is outragous and should be
stopped. I think the oil companies want to make a killing on
all of us. Every year in May they seem to raise the price
of gasoline before memorial day to see how much they can get
from us. Come on pres. lets see what you can do to make us
remember you in a good way as you are on your way out.

Tulip festival at thanksgiving point

Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com

We had a lot of fun tuesday going to the tulip festival with our good
friends from Maryland. Kathy and I have been friends for many years.
We have watched our kids grow up together. We have shared in being
grandparents. She has 6 kids which I adore everyone of them very much.
Now some of them have beautiful little ones which double the pleasure of
knowing them. Kathy came out for her son Mike's graduation from BYU. Way
to go Mike... Now find a wife and stay in Utah so I can be close to you.
Her youngest daughter Andrea (who is in pictures with her family) lives
here in Utah and I enjoy visiting her when I can. Her little daughter
Taya is a joy to watch grow. Kathy's other son Jeff is on a mission just
recently to Brazil. It is so much fun when friends come out to visit from
Maryland. Last week another good friend (Sharon) came out and we had
a lot of fun seeing each other. I have also had my friend Pat come and
visit back in fall as well as a lot of my family. We love to have the
company and really enjoy their visits.

Happy 32nd Honey (dedicated to the one I love)

Still Crazy after all these years.

This was our wedding day back on April 17, 1976

Love you honey but you know me. I couldn't resist this one....


John and I have been married for 32 happy years. He is my soul mate.
My love for him grows stronger each and every day. We started out as
teen-agers. I was 17 and John was 19. My dad signed the papers for us
to be married. My uncle Moe married us at first assembly of God church
in Silver Spring, Md. We bought a house that we had been saving for since I
was 14 because we knew we would get married when we grew up. I had an
engagement ring on my finger when I was 16. John taught me how to drive.
We started dating when I was 14 and John was 16. We went to same Jr. High
and High school. Saw each other between classes (even skipped a few of those
classes, didn't we honey) been through good times and bad. Mostly good though.

Key to marriage: Love one another no matter what...............

Deal or No Deal

I love this show. Have watched it ever
since it came on. Played online and even
a deal or no deal slot machine so I am
excited that they have a try-out in Salt
Lake on Saturday. I got the application
and filled it out and now I hope they
pick me.(LOL) It will be fun just to try
out for it any way. I called my mom and
asked her if she wanted to be in my circle
of people they let you have and she said she
would love to. She watches it too. I have
watched it several times with her and John
and I watch it every week. I would love the
chance to be on the show. Wish me luck......
