That way, it's a bit easier to put up with the negative stuff and the positive things make so much sense. :DTanya Parker Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604769216009443552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548642269368480823.post-33958719476097414482013-01-31T12:13:16.616-08:002013-01-31T12:13:16.616-08:00WOW I was in Provo, Utah at the time, assisting K...WOW I was in Provo, Utah at the time, assisting Katheryn Pardoe with her make=up to do a reading at the Wilkinson Center when I received a phone call from Jeff calling from the BYU Medical Center, just saying Oooohhh MOM, I said What? another moan Oh Mom.....finally he explained the whole situation and I was so relieved to have him tell me that neither one of them (My two oldest children) were very seriously hurt! With a prayer of thanksgiving in my heart and soul I left Katheryn Pardoe off at the Wilkinson Center (missing her performance as a reader) and rushed to the side of my Children. It was a most memorable dramatic occasion. Thanks so much Tanya for relating it in your words. Love Mom (Rita C.

Among other things they liked to steal the cherry off of my ice cream sundaes. Yet, the one closest in age was always there to talk to and to teach me things such as where to apply a knee if grabbed (thankfully I never needed that information, but you get the idea), and my late brother who, along with his wife, took Mom & I in when her fiance eloped with someone else the day before their wedding and we had no place to go.

The cop who investigated the accident (and gave me a ticket, which I thought was really adding insult to injury) took one look at that totaled car and shook his head. He couldn't believe we both walked away basically unharmed. I should probably use it in one of my novels when the time and story is right.Tanya Parker Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604769216009443552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548642269368480823.post-62083114671835241462013-01-28T12:42:03.188-08:002013-01-28T12:42:03.188-08:00What a story!!What a story!!Roseanne's Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417994117606123789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548642269368480823.post-57078371688355546562013-01-28T07:57:05.542-08:002013-01-28T07:57:05.542-08:00Wow!Wow!Luisa Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310698422276446909noreply@blogger.com
