"Help Mosquitos!!!"

I need help! I have a mosquito somewhere in the house or when I go outside, I am bitten up everywhere. Does anyone have any good remedies to stop the itching? My bites are big, red and itchy. I found myself itching in the middle of the night. Anything ideas will help. Thanks.

The Dentist

As you can tell guess where I was today? Yip the dentist! I, like my sister, I have a thing about going to the dentist. I am not a good patient. I white knuckle the chair, have to have nitrous, and the whole nine yards. Don't want to feel anything at all. If they have music I will where headphones. Really, I just can't help it.
When I was younger going to the dentist was like going to have an operation. Back than, I guess I am aging myself, but it really was like that. Hardly ever used Novocaine and the scraping and drilling was enough to make you puck! Us children would always wait to see who would go first and than we would look through those Highlight books. Find the hidden missing object . Dr. Kogan. That was our dentist when I was younger. I was thinking about him today and all the new gadgets they have now to make the process so much easier on people like me. My dentist has a massage chair, Flat Screens in each room anything you want. Thank goodness. And he is very very easy on the eyes. So my teeth are clean and shinier and look great!

Birthday Celebration for DAD!

Happy "77th" birthday dad!! You look great.

Last night mom had a little get together for Dad for his 77th birthday. He requested a Sunday Roast Beef dinner with all the trimmings. In our family for your birthday, you get to choose your favorite dinner and favorite cake for the celebration. We had lots fun. Craig, I, Gwen, Bob, Kristin, Clint, Keifer, Josh where for the big dinner. There was so much food left over we could not believe it. It was soooo good. Mom is still a great good. Roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, yummy cooked carrots, salad, homemade rolls, with homemade pressures. Raspberry, peach, and strawberry. Oh sooo good. Mom has not lost her touch. The table looked fantastic with all the fall colors and candlelight. Dad had a great time as did we all. Happy Birthday dad. You are so awesome. Thank you for always being there when I need to talk. You have a good listening ear. I love you.

Went to church today. I was good as always. Keeps me centered and ready for the week ahead.

Joshua came over for dinner and to watch football with Uncle Craig today. He requested Pork chop dinner which is one of his favorite. So Auntie complied. He will be picking up Meredith this evening from her job in CA that she has been for the past week. If I do say so myself the dinner did come out rather deli sh. Mom and dad came for dinner too. Mom walked in with a homemade peach pie!!! Oh my. I couldn't. And I did not indulge. Josh and the guys have finished it off. Good.


Well that is my post to today. I will try and download my pictures.

"Happy 30th Birthday to my Sweet Nephew"

30 yrs again today a sweet little angel was born into our family. First grandson and first nephew. This sweet boy entered into the world at 3:05 pm weighing 5lbs 9oz 18inches long. His name

Michael David Duffy. I was at work when I received the phone call that he was finally here! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I was a Auntie!!! Grandma and Grandpa Davis, packed there silver Oldsmobile with all kinds of stuff especially the "Yellow Horse" that us children used when we where little and headed for Utah to meet there grandson. Grandpa had cleaned and fixed it all up the horse for Michael to play with when he was old enough too.

This little baby was the cutest thing ever. If I do say so myself. When I had moved to Utah and lived in the basement of my parents home with Cindy and Duff, I used to take Michael to mall with me and pretend he was mine. He looked like he could be mine. I loved doing that. We would have so much fun together. He used to stand at the top of the stairs and yell "Annie"(which meant Auntie) and than when I said come on down, he would slide on his belly so fast down the stairs to come for a visit. It was so funny. We would just laugh at him and than he would laugh at himself too. So cute.

Where does 30 yrs go? I love Michael as if where my own. I feel like Cindy birthed him, and in some strange way I think he is mine. Even to this day. I have watch him grow into a wonderful man, husband and nephew. His love for the gospel, his family and for his wife makes my heart swell with delight.

Happy Birthday Michael. I love you very much more than you know. My cup runeth over!

Love, Auntie
