More Fun Summer of 2020

Selfies from our hiking adventures.
Tatum was afraid she would not be able to do snow angels since moving to St. George.  So I took her to Snow Canyon and we did SAND Angels.  Now she wants to go every day.

Getting caught up to Sept. 2020

 My Friend , MAROLYN MILLS CONDIE, from X-ray school a million years ago came to St. George and Took me to The Show, "Joseph Technicolor Coat of many colors."     I feel bad we didn't even get one picture of us.  She visited and we caught up right where we left off so many years ago.  We reconnected while we both worked at the Riverton Hospital, She in Mammo an Me in Instacare/Kidscare.


Another Friend who has been such a blessing is Claudia Kriepal who has become my CHEMO Buddy.  We started on the same day with the same Chemo Drugs.  We got to be good friends and it has continued.  She lives in IVINS and have enjoyed the relationship of her and her husband John.



Judy and Randy celebrated their 50 wedding anniversary , Im one of her bridesmaids

 First of all, We have been dealing with Covid and of course, my Chemo and Cancer treatment since April to July29.  I have now finished Chemo and feel like a new person. I am feeling better and better every day.  I will now only need Labs to monitor my Cancer markers,  I really feel I can put this Cancer time behind me and I am so grateful for all the blessings and miracles in my life.

My Dear husband has been there every minute for me.   I have had so many friends new and old there for me.  I feel so much healthier than I have for ages.  Probably even before I was Diagnosed.

Tatum playing with Snails while waiting for the parade to start.
I took her to the July 4th St. George Parade and she found snails to play with.
Tatum playing at Nana's  It is so nice to see her and Connor on more of a regular basis.
This is the doll that Kortney insisted she did not have at her house.  HAHAHA  Look what she found.  I'm just glad she has been found because I thought i'd lost her.

As of July of 2020, Kami and her family have moved down to St. George and we are so excited!!! Tatum and I go on adventures every time we can.
This is a house on some property in Oklahoma that Cody and Kortney bought, besides the one they have been redoing from the studs out.  Can't wait to go to Oklahoma and see their other life and soon to be more permanent home.  Since they have bought into a Napa Store.

 Flowers that Gayle and Paul Neuenshwander sent to us.  Gayle has been so sweet to be there in every way. She came to the hotel we were staying the day after my Surgery in March with goodies.  She has sent me treats and much encouragement.  She is such a dear friend since High School.
