The Beginning

Today begins a new beginning for me. I have decided to get on board with the newest trend of blogging. My daughter Wende (wendethemom.blogspot.com) and my daughter-law, April (jakenApril.blogspot.com), have put me to shame for quite sometime. They are dedicated to blogging. I will try to keep up with them, but I know that my entries will not be as creative and fun as theirs, but I will try! Some things that I will need to get in the habit of are:
  1. keeping a camera close by and on the ready!
  2. remember to blog!
  3. try to make it interesting!
I hope that I will find things of interest for everyone who may read my postings. I like the idea of having this as a journal of sorts, something that will be available for family across the US to ready and share their comments with me.

You will find out early in my postings that my children and my grandchildren are my pride and joy. I brag about them all to just about anyone I can corner and who will listen. Many of my friends know my kids and grandkids, even if they have not met them.

I also will talk a lot about my sisters and my dad. I have the best sisters in the whole world. We love each other so much, and share just about everything with each other. My dad is incredible and the smartest man I know. He has done some pretty incrediable things in his 87 years. You will hear about them, but here is a teaser...he invented and made the very first tater tot machine! Yep, that's right, the very first. When you see them in the store freezers, or served in a restaurant, you will now know who invented them, wayne jemmett!


Okay, so now I have gone in serveral directions, and I have rambled some. This is something I tend to do as well. Hopefully though, this is a good start for the first posting. I have some pretty incredible friends who help me make it through the work day, and friends from my ward who help me keep my testimony in check. I love them and will have to post about them as well.
