Swartwood reunion

So, everybody save the dates of June 16-23 or 4 for the great reunion. we found a house with 7 bedrooms for all grandchildren and great grandchildren and me and dad. check out www.vacationhomes.com/23547 the living room is small, but there is a large common area downstairs. also, one covered and one uncovered deck. the latter is very large, overlooking the lake. right below is a public beach that you can steeply get down to, or drive 3 minutes and park at. grandpa saw a park across the street from the house with slides, swings, etc., but no one else saw it. a block a way is a park with an old artillery piece, a gazebo, and lots of green space, good for games. if you follow the link, you'll see what city it is in for you google earthers. the # is 103 plum st.

please, please plan to come.

love,
mom

Whoa! Big changes.

We had a special meeting today for the North Olmsted, 7 hills, cleveland, lorain, and westlake ward, in the which they severely changed all the boundaries.

Our ward now consistes of North Olmsted, Westlake, Olmsted township and falls, and north ridgeville.

Westlake ward is no more...they imploded into us, avonlake went to lorain, rocky river bay and fairview park went to the new Lakewood ward.

Strongsville, berea, brookpark, middleburg hts broke off from north olmsted and went to the new strongsville ward. this also includes , north royalton, brecksville and broadview hts, which came from the defunct 7 hills ward.

7 hills also joined with the cleveland first ward, which consists of cleveland, parma, parma hts., brooklyn, brooklyn hts. and garfield heights, 7 hills, independence and valley view.

wow. next week, we meet as usual. in two weeks, we meet as new wards. this affects our bishopric (2 counselors), primary entire presidency, elder's quorum presidency, high priests' group leaders, young women presidency. should be interesting, but i know it is the right thing to do.

i'm alive, really I am

So, you see that i am here, even though i haven't posted. do you like the green color of my text?? i have been away visiting cincinnati, well, not so much the city as the wonderful people at ...i was going to type the address, but then i realized how stupid that was. my children and grandchildren. i was very excited to be asked to help, although amy saw through that right away and only said, "goodbye" and "goodbye, grandma" to me. scott and joel and kennedy and i had a good time. well, joel stopped liking me by saturday when he realized that if i was there, then mommy would maybe leave. on that day, every time he saw me, he ran away to find mommy to make sure she wasn't leaving. Scott made my day on saturday when he said, with no prompting, "I'm going to miss you, grandma!" yeah, baby, that's what i live for. it was cool to see a blessing work right away. David blessed me that i would not be in pain (although sometimes i needed drugs to achieve this) and to be able to serve as i desired. that was cool. then i got home, and immediately went into a flare, which i am still in. that systemic yeast stuff. i mean, imagine never having any sweets or grains (or fruits) ever again. that's what they say i have to do. can't do it, baby. i could probably cut down, but i can't completely give them up.




So, you can see that they really enjoyed me. well, to tell the truth, this is saturday, and joel had figured me out. plus it was naptime. and amy is far away from me, so she's ok.

Aren't they cute. someone has a nose issue, however.

and we are so cute together.

love, mom
