Soooo excited for great nephew, Preston! His 7th grade basketball team too 1st place! They went undefeated this season! The lovely pandemic allows only one spectator to attend a game. So, it's either mom, or dad. P.S. The reason I am behind on this blog is that I can't post on "chrome." I have to use "Firefox." Bleh

BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS


Since the start of this lovely 
Corona Virus Pandemic,
I have done a lot of thinking about
the "Good Old Days!"

I was never going to be one of those people.
The people that always reflected on the past,
and their growing up years.

I personally never thought I would be in 
my 60's!!!
But, here I am . . . living the dream of 
being on Social Security while there's still some!

This photo is sooooo true!
Cartoons were only on Saturday mornings!
(Except "The Flintstones" that came on Friday nights."

And . . . this was how a weekend went:

DRIVE-BY RETIREMENT



Lynnell (Shelley) Fox has been one of my dearest
friends since the mid 1960's.
I met Lynnell in 2nd grade.

Renae's grandfather is Lynnell's great grandfather.
George F. Shelley.
Namesake of Shelley Elementary.
(You can't name schools anymore after
people or towns)

We went to school together.
Had dancing lessons together.

Lynnell went to Weber State with Raylene & Renae.
She married Terry write before we started teaching.
She started teaching in Ogden where they lived.

Then, they moved to American Fork to live in
her grandfather's home, across the street from Renae.

She taught at Geneva Elementary, then she began the
"Frisky Fox Preschool"
After 19 years, she was hired to teach at
Greenwood Elementary.
(Renae's dad was the first principal,
and was there for years.)
Lynnell taught 19 preschool, and
19 in 2 districts.

Terry was a policeman in Ogden and
American Fork.  
Then, he was the Chief of Police.

After retiring from that, he was a policeman
at BYU.
I saw him a few times at games.

Good luck with retirement!!!
