It's after 2am can't sleep so here I am. Just read Hollys 8/1 blog about mom. She was and still is I'm sure a doll. I miss her a lot. I wish she were here so I could tell her how much I miss her and want my kids to know her. It makes me sad that H and H won't ever know my parents in the living sense. Heidi has vague memories of her when she died she said "Did grandmas batteries just run out?" Memories oh how wonderful and yet to painful to remember and so on.
July was a very busy month. Heidi went to Oakcrest Camp was holding back tears leaving in the bus she would not let me leave until the bus was out of sight. I figured when I went to pick her up after 4 days she would run to me. Not so she just said "HI mom" Needless to say she had the time of her life. I am so glad.
On July 24 we left for Disneyland. Heidi and Hayley danced there with the little dance group that they are in. It was a blast. I just love Disneyland and California Adventure. We stayed in a Hotel with Becky and her daughter Amy, and Karalee Questereit and her daughter Madison(they're in my ward. ) My feet hurt so bad though. We must have waked 10 miles a day. Karalee walks like a zippety doo da. I figured I would have lost 10 lbs but noooooo! I gained 4. After a few days I did lose the 4 plus another 4 lbs. Probably plumbing retention. My plumbing shuts down on vacation. I guess I was meant to be in the same place all the time, cause I don't work when I travel. Stubborn plumbing. We also went to the beach. Sandy and salty. Waves over our heads. I got slammed a couple of times. We still have sand coming out of our ears. We took a bus from Aneheim to the beach. What a riot. Crazy funny people on the bus. Mostly very friendly. Now I want to move to Disneyland. It is the most magical place on earth. Next time I'll have better shoes and friends that won't walk so fast. And be in shape you know...

I do have a new favorite movie: "Mama Mia" I took Heidi and Hayley to see it. We all loved it. The theatre was practical empty it was 12noon. There were about 12 old foogies. So I was really able to get in to the movie. I tell you I just loved it , loved it. It just tickled me pink. I haven't loved a movie like that since The Color Purple. That didn't tickle me pink though.

I guess I'll go play scrabble with Mavin or is it Maven. And chew my ice. Maybe I'll get sleepier and snooze off.
Later days and pickles on high
