Grandma Bonnie's Favorite Recipes   Cakes  
This Christmas season I dragged this recipe out from my overly stuffed recipe book.  Great memories of drinking this tea on cold nights.  It was given to me by my neighbor Karen Hansen. Cranberry Tea 1 Qt. Fresh cranberries (can use frozen) 2 Qt. water Boil until all the cranberries pop.  Strain through a cheesecloth pressing all the juice from the berries. In a separate pan: 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 2 (or more) Sticks cinnamon Boil gently for 10 minutes. Then add cranberry liquid and sugar syrup together.  At this point, you can store until ready to use in the refrigerator or in the freezer. Before Serving: 2 cups orange juice and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and heat with the cranberry Tea base.

August 1, 2015 I need to get this down so I could not forget what happened to me this last month...  I have been struggling with extreme stress.  So much I can not even function.  I asked for blessing's which Dave was happy to give.  I asked for Medication which my Doctor promptly gave.  I asked for help watching my Father and got it with Meadows health care.  I now know after 30 years of marriage a small portion of the struggles Dave has had with Depression.  When I talked to my sister last night.  I said I could not explain the deep feelings of despair I have. And yes it is all mental and not physical but that does not mean it is any less real.  (We were discussing my Dads Itching problems)  I have said for a long time.  I believe my Fathers physical problems are caused by stress.  I have a stronger understanding what Stephanie is struggling with also at this time.  I do no want to have to go through this process to learn a lesson.  But I am sure my loving Heavenly Father will

April 25, 2015     My Last week's Hike was to Anasazi Valley Trail head.  Here are some beautiful pic's of the area.  It is located just past Ivans Utah.   It was amazing 3 mile hike.  Although  I did not go to the end, I enjoyed the nature and the quietness of what I did get to do. Family additions came this month also.  " Here is Johnny" (ha-ha couldn't resist the tonight show theme) And here is the rest of Grandma Bonnie's Pride and Joy! Left to Right.  Alex, Izzy, Ellee, Emma, Colleen, Reese, and Spencer.  It had to be a fast picture session with 7 very active kids.     After a Fun filled week playing and Tending Gran kids.  I came back home to St George and started my routine again. And had some trouble with my eyes.  Contacts came out and new ones went in.  (only after a couple weeks of wearing a new set) That is when I found my eye looked bad...  Went to the eye doctor and he said your eye has hemorrhaged!

    As I deleted all my old "shame on me" blogs.  Year after year trying to set weight loss goals and NOTHING was improving.  I have decided to take a new Approach in my Goal to improve Grandma Bonnie with a happier outlook of life.  And to work on improving Body, Spiritual and Mental. So starting today March 28th, With sharing my improved outlook of my Life.     I talked with Dave today and asked for some help.  We both work the same hours, same kind of job in fact we work for the same company, same department, our offices are next to each other.  And I felt I was caring the heavier load of things with paying the bills and food shopping and trying to keep the house clean to getting the "guilt trip" look from Dave for only cooking meals for me and not for both of us. I also do a weekly food shopping and planning for my Dad,  all after we got off working 8 hours.  So the plan I suggested was that I would do the shopping and the cooking and meal planning and Dave wo
