I Love My Utah Jazz

Well it has been with much anticipation that I have awaited the first Utah Jazz basketball game. We whooped the Clippers with a final score of 111-98 on our home court. OK ,so the word whooped is a bit exaggerated here. Ronnie Millsap did an awesome job last night scoring 23 points.

We currently have three starters out with injuries and I was wondering how this would all play out. The injured are my man Mehmet Okur, that cutie Kyle Korver and also C. J. Miles.

I was also really concerned because the games will not be televised on KJAZ Tv anymore which is a local station and it was where I have been watching them. But ALAS.........I have the Fox sports channel. IT"S ALL GOOD!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone !!

Halloween Memories

I remember seeing this movie only once when I was about 16 and I have never wanted to see it since. I remember a bunch of us girls went to see it at the Drive In theatre. Remember thoses? So really it was even scarier watching it from inside a car. I kept wanting someone to change seats with me and put me in the middle. Ha Ha.!!!!!I still say it is the scariest movie ever. But compared to the ones now a days it would probably seem pretty funny.

Happy Halloween Birthday Layni

It just does not seem possible that Layni could be turning 7 years old today. Sometimes it seems like only yesterday and at other times it seems so long ago.

I remember being so excited that we would have a Halloween baby. We called her our "Little Ghoul". She is such a joy and so much fun to be around and needless to say "She is crazy about her Nana".....................

This Is It

and .........................

But then those of you who know me .....know I'm a big fan. I guess it will be out on DVD in January.

Fabulous Fall Photos

Autumn and Halloween......they go hand and hand

I love the fall season. I mean ................. I really, really, really love fall. It is my time of year. I have always felt this way. I have such wonderful memories as a child growing up on a farm in the midwest of the Autumn season. Miles and miles of harvested corn rows in the fields, the burning of leaves after a full day of raking. The colors of brown, gold and red everywhere. I am always amazed to see all the pumpkins here and there. I love "Pumpkin Art".
