I Love Fancy Guppies

Did you know that I love Guppies? Well I do. They are gorgeous.

When I was little I lived on Argo Way in Sacramento, California. 

It was a little house that sometimes had a silver side when the rest was 

painted pink and I could tell people to look for the silver house when they 

were hunting for me. 

Any who... the neighbors had guppies. Not a big tank just a big bowl and those guppies had guppies and then those guppies had guppies. 

Whew it was so fun to see the explosion of little pretty fish and I got 

some guppies too.

Much better than the poly wogs that I caught every spring at St. Mary's Cemetery, the place I was forbidden to ever, ever go.  

"Where did you get those poly wogs?"  Mom would ask and of course being the angelic child that I was I answered "In the gutter by Jiggy's house."

Of course she really believed that. 

Back to my guppies...So when I couldn't do a lot with my hands and because some of my Granddaughters came to help me clean my house so that one of them could raise $7.00 for a frog house and we had to go hunting for all of the important things that go with little critters. I wound up at the pet stores 

and couldn't resist the beautiful guppies that they have now. 

Guppies have really changed since I was little. They are gorgeous. There are red, blue, green, purple and much more. 

There is a blue and a leopard mama in my tank. And I had a leopard daddy that Christi bought me for my birthday. He died but I am going to get another one because he was so, so beautiful. 

One of the funny things that happened is that about 30 little baby guppies 

that were six weeks old had babies! I had to put on my reading glasses to see them. 

I keep my tank at about 80 - 82 degrees and I guess that is what happens when they are kept nice warm. 

So now I have many, many Fancy Guppies. 

Love,

Fighting Cancer One Hug at a Time

Jenny's Quilt

Nikki's Quilt

I have been busy lately making quilts. 


One for a new baby arriving in December 
(picture of just the top is above) 


and two for two of my cancer sisters that are 
having a hard time right now. 


I hope they will be able to feel love and hope 
like a hug from their new quilts.
 The finished quilt is for Jenny.


Please pray for her and Nikki.

Thank you friends. 

Love,

We Don't Bow to Things

The Christus on Temple Square in SLC

A great man in our church once said:
 "We teach our people correct principles 
and then let 
them judge themselves."


I love this saying and I love 
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ."


Two summers ago, after our family reunion, 
we took some of our family to Temple Square in SLC 
and of course we went to the Visitors Center 
where the Christus 
is displayed. 


While we were looking at the Christus 
a little boy of middle Eastern decent 
walked up to the Christus and stood 
in awe of the beautiful representation 
of Christ.And then bowed to Him. 
It was very touching. 

That is something we don't see in our church but my little granddaughter 
thought it was a nice thing to do so she followed 
him in his praise of Christ. 
Very Sweet!!

Love, Granny T.
