Tribute to my Grandchildren's Great Grandfather

I wanted to let my Missouri Family and grandchildren to know that they have been in my thoughts and prayers.

They buried their grandfather and great grandfather, Virgil Timmerberg, today. He passed away after a very sudden illness on Thursday. He was 90 years old, and was still driving and planting his garden up until then. I feel blessed that I got to know him when Misty married Dan. He was always there at all family gatherings and parties and was always welcoming and friendly to us.

He was the mayor of High Hill Missouri (population 216) for many, many years, and that little town will feel his loss. He was an avid fan of all Montgomery County sports teams. He loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was always very supportive of them. His wife of 66 years, Rosalie, died two years ago, but he has stayed independent and positive during all this time. I know he was always such a wonderful grandfather to Dan, and I'm glad Jackson, Lydia, Hyrum, and Harrison will always have wonderful memories of him.

A Long Life Well Lived

And one more special one

I spent a very long day at the school
trying to get caught up for tomorrow.
When I came home, this was in the mail.
I'm glad it got here a day late because
it made my day!

Listen to the sweet voice right at the first.

Thank you, Lydia!

Thank you

I feel very blessed.
(One) husband who knows just what I want (Chicos!).
(Two) wonderful son-in-laws,

(Three) beautiful daughters,
and
(Eight) grandchildren who I love with all my heart.

I haven't even had to ring the bell much today.
It has all been done for me freely.
There is nothing like words and pictures
made with love
from those you love.

Sorry, Misty and Tiffany,
you're not here to defend
yourselves on this!

Breakfast for Dinner
cooked by Natalie and Gary.



With my favorite syrup that I
love so much I practically drink it!



THANK YOU!

Got it Ready

Really Appreciate Fridays

So far I've done what I said I would do tonight.
Pretty much nothing.

But I am really Loving doing nothing.
Now that make-up tests have started
the days are very hectic as I try to juggle classes
and students as they come in,
It can be very stressful and confusing.
(Or at least it is to me)

But, I'm trying really hard not to have a
"walking nervous breakdown"
by kicking back and relaxing tonight.

Now I think I'll go have some chocolate.

What is it?

Here's a guessing game for you.

Is it a bird?



Is it a plane?



Is it a jumping bunny
with a really big tail?



One more try?



Ok, it's something that sits
on top of these.



And if you say those look like
bear claws and not Temples,
you are in trouble.

Thank you to my friends Pam and Elizabeth

for helping me out of my messes!

Now you know why I have very sticky floors.
