Things I have learned sense I have found out that I have Breast Cancer.

First of all, I know this anyway and I think you do too, "Life is short." You here this phrase from the Older generation as you grow up. It may be from your Parents. It maybe from your Grandparents. But at certain times in your life this phrase will ring true and you will stop and ponder on your own life and possible evaluate what you have done with your life so far. You will think back at moments that may have been great experiences that have change the course of your life. But then you will think of experiences that weren't the greatest that also changed your life. But all together it is your life. I am so blessed and grateful that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This Gospel has influenced my life for the better. This blog in not about the history of my life, but just about a certain time in my life when I found out that I have Cancer. I can't remember the exact date when I found out. I was a few months ago. But I want to say that certain aspects in my life changed, and somethings in my life have not changed. My life as a member of the LDS Church have not changed. What has changed is some of my priorities I have set for myself. I thought that I was doing ok job with my diet, and to find out, I am not. I turned to Family members and reading to help to be a better eater. When I help myself I also help my family with their diets. I know I will never be perfect, but at least I am make a better effort at making a better diet. I am also trying to be closer to my children and trying to help them a bit more. I am not the best Mom at all. I just know that if I ask in my prayers too Heavenly Father specifically, to help be to be a better mother to my children, Heavenly Father will bless me. They Key is to be more specific as to what we ask for and we will receive answers to our prayers. It was about 4 years ago, I asked HF to help me with a choice that I made. I chose to work on my Families Genealogy. This choice changed my life and my Families lives. I have been blessed well beyond what I hoped for to accomplishing. I have been doing Genealogy for my children like my mother had done me and my brothers and sister. What she did and what I am doing now is for my children and their children. But knowing that I have Cancer now has change this Genealogy goal of mine. So far I have been on the collecting phase and I still have some goals in that area still to do. I don't know if those goals will get done now. One example is I want to put together some personal histories of some ancestor through time lines, that I have put together, and that take up so much time. That type of endeavor is far too big of a goal to tackle, I feel that my time here is shorter then I think. My Family needs me more then me finishing these Histories. I feel I need to shift my priorities towards my family more. I have tried to split my responsibilities between my family and home, my Church responsibilities, and Genealogy for my Decedents and Ancestors. It has been between my Family and home and church up until about 4 years ago. It has been exciting to work on Genealogy. Getting those inspirations and being directed by Heavenly Father has been accelerating at times and rewarding. I would recommend to anyone to purse their Genealogy. Heavenly Father wants us to connect out Families together, so that we can be together in the next life. I feel that Heavenly father wants us to concentrate on our family members that are here with us now. So I am changing some of my goals now, to spend more time in each of their lives. By showing how much that I love them will influence them in the right direction in their lives. I really do not want to cut myself off from each family member by doing Genealogy. Doing Genealogy means spending alot of time on my computer doing research and scanning. I feel I am missing out on special moments in their lives. So I now need to be more specific on what I do for Genealogy and do not create big jobs that take a lot of my time away from them. I need to go for now but I would like to add more to this blog later. I say good luck to myself and you. Be grateful for all of your Blessing.
May God Bless

2010 Palmer Reunion July 16 and 17th of July

Everything has been so hecktic lately. I didn’t get an email off to D.J. He has Email me upset very upset. There has been so many demands from everyone. It was Jennifer this and Jennifer that or mom this and mom that. When I got home from Washington State, with Zade and Cameron, Milo said that lightning stuck really close over head and it fried the modem and the power supply to the
Computer. It got the Wii Game. I got this computer, that the trust paid for, but I had to figure out the passwords to my email and gmail. They were saved into the memory of the computer that crashed, but hadn’t written them down. I finally figured them out this morning, without the help of your Dad and Zade. It’s getting harder for me to remember things.
I have them written down in a separate notebook now. I wanted to email D.J. while
we were in Washington but , Zade didn’t try to find an internet connection,
anywhere. Zade didn’t even let me buy a postcard to send to you. Then I remember I forgot to write down D.J.’s address. Every time I turned around, something wasn’t turning out the way I wanted it
to. It upset me so much that I couldn’t contact D.J. I got mad at Zade and it
was all my fault. So I apologized to Zade. I am going to try to write about the 2010 Palmer Reunion that turned out just fine. I hope! Ember showed up the evening of the 13th, on Zade’s
birthday. He’s now 26. I can’t remember but I think Zade went up north to Logan for his birthday. It is now a bit of a blur to me, now. Darn!
Now for the reunion, Jenn Harris, Gerta’s daugther showed up early the 14th, with 3 of her kids. She volenteer two years earlier at the last reunion to be co-person for the next reunion. She worked on the Catering for the Dinner and the food for all the meals she also planned some games. I set up everything else. The rest of her family showed un the next day. I didn’t have the money
to feed them. I just prayed, that everything would work out. Jenn said that she
was coming early to help, but it was more work then I could handle having them sitting around and Jenn took Ember away from helping me. They spent time at the Candle Factory. So I was by myself, getting ready for the reunion. I am mad at myself for getting upset and feeling sorry for myself, I
had too high of expectation from Jenn and Ember, when I shouldn’t have been.
Ember is still not mature enough to handle some of the things that I threw at her do to and Jenn being very much over weight, I could see that she was really stressed and I new I was the only one that could do some of the Jobs. I kinda let loose on Ember when I shouldn’t have done that. It was just out of
frustration on my part. I just had a lot to do before the reunion. My Knees were really hurting! My Feet and legs were hurting and I was dead tired for the Lack of sleep. I feel really bad that I
did that to Ember. I wasn’t thinking straight and I let my emotions get in control
of my feelings. I was really afraid that Ember wouldn’t come back. I gave her some money for gas to help ease her budget. I tried to encouraged her to bring her new Boyfriend, Matt. Now back to the reunion. I was able to obtain a microphone and equipment from Val Smith. Milo started to help just a
couple of hour before the reunion started, when he realized that I was not going to make it by myself. He loaded tables and chairs from the church into the back of Dad’s Truck. I am sure that he didn't want to look bad in the eye's of his family if they felt he was just sitting and not doing anything.
I was cleaning the house for the reunion around Jenns kids who were either playing on the Wii or watching TV. Jenn’s boys did help some. They did take out the trash. Jenn’s, Heidi
vacuumed the living room. Cameron mowed the lawn around the tents that Jenn's family put
up. I was really stressed to the max and I do not want to do it again. The
Palmer Reunion started on the 16th Friday, 1:00 at the Ponderosa
Park. Everyone checked into the Motel that Zade set up at his work, at Eagles
Landing Truck Stop. He got a discount, being the assistant manager, there. The discount
was $35.00 a room for a night. Everyone just visited at first. Ember was great.
She had a craft for everyone to do. It was refrigerator magnets. She used her own money to pay for the
supplies. She did not get reimbursed by anyone, either. Ember really did her part in helping with the reunion. She stayed long enough to give the instruction for the craft project before she left for Lehi and Spanish Fork for a wedding reception. She introduced a couple kids that got engaged and felt that it was important to be at their reception. But this gave an opportunity for Ember to invite her new Boyfriend to come back down for the reunion. After the craft project, Jenn had a catered dinner for everyone. It was really nice.
Thank goodness I had a little money stashed away. It came to $13.00 a plate, 4 plates
for our family. I knew we didn’t have the money in checking. I just couldn't go to Milo and ask him
either. I used my emergency money. It is dwindle ling down. I gave Jenn the money for the
dinner. Then I paid Gerta for the rest of the meals for the reunion. I was really gratefully that Gerta and Susan who offered to help in buy the food for the reunion. I didn’t have any room on any credit card to buy anything. I thanked Gerta and Susan for their help. Zade left early for Jesse Grahams reception in
Greenville. I wanted to go. I saved Zade a plate. After the Dinner, Mr. Condie sang
some of his Western songs. Orval, Gerta and Don, Elaine and Susan really enjoyed it. Orval got up an spoke on his father, Jesse Palmer and Don got up and talked about Jesse Palmer Sr. I thanked
Mr. Condie. Then everyone headed to their rooms at the Motel. Ember showed up
with her new boy friend really late on Friday the 16th or was early Saturday Morning. I wasn't watching the time when she showed up. She slept in his car and kick Cameron out of his tent for her new Boyfriend, Matt to sleep. Cameron got to sleep back in his bed, cause Jenn wasn’t sleeping in his
bed anymore. She went to sleep at the motel with Orval and Gerta. Crazy at 1:00 am. The next morning, I got up at 6:00 am to fix breakfast. Zade planned a hike across the Sky Line Hike, up at Big Johns and
ends above Puffers Lake. Zade and I took a drive a week earlier before the reunion to time the drive up to Big Johns. That drive was the high light of my Summer so far. We went to Big Johns and further up to the
Trail Head and then tried to go further up but the road was still closed. We headed down and stopped at Hamaltons Flat to watch a herd of Elk, up-close. We were in Zade's Jeep. Then we headed home for that Day.
Well after breakfast was over for the family hikers. We left around 7:30 am with me and Cameron out in front driving, showing everyone the way. When I left the house, Zade was still trying to get drivers. I had Checho behind me driving. It took about 45 minutes or so, to get up the Trail Head, at Big Johns. They
took a picture of everyone at the beginning of the hike. Zade was able to get, Teri Dowdle, Milo’s Sister and Stan Hunt. When the Hikers headed up the Mountain we drove around to Puffers Lake to leave a couple of Vehicles and Stan drove us back home. I had a nice visit with Milo's sister when shuffling Vehicles. Teri's really not to bad. She does try hard. I give her that. We left Zade’s Jeep at the turn-off of Big Johns. Stan didn’t want to go back on the road that was next to Puffers Lake. It was too narrow for him, it
made him nervous. I told him about the road that headed up to Big Flat and he
took that road. While some family members were on the Hike, the rest or the family that was left behind had Breakfast and went to the Beaver Old Court House for a tour and then to the Old Tack House for Murdock Academy or Fort Cameron for a small tour there. Remember, it’s the black rock building east of the Beaver Golf Course. We just got back in time for both tours. We then reconvened the Reunion at the Park
behind the Beaver Swimming Pool. When the Hike was over Milo was driving the
Jeep, I think, and it got a Flat tire, it took them a little longer to get home. I guess a rock punctured the centerof the tire.
Ember took her new Boyfriend on the Hike. When they got back Ember went swimming and he laid on the lawn by himself. When I got the opportunity I went over and introduced myself. After a little bit he went swimming.
I think everyone enjoyed the hike that went. I arranged with Sharri the manager of the Beaver Pool, a few months earlier, so that I only had to pay the pool $45.00 for those that wanted to go swimming. I used my emergency money to pay for that, too. It would have cost a lot more. When everyone got back from the Hike they headed for the Pool after eating a lunch that Jenn and Susan's Husband prepared for everyone.
We had a family meeting to decide for the next reunion. Diane Pilmer volunteered
to do the next reunion in two years from now. D.J. will be home by then from his Mission. Milo
took back the chairs and tables to the church that we use for Breakfast, at our
house. We barrowed Grandpa Lindsay’s Truck for a couple of days to haul the chairs and tables. I am glad Milo and Cameron helped with that. We gave back Dad’s truck the next day. I just plane
did not have time to do the Ward Program for that week. Zade informed me that we were leaving on Monday at 5:00 pm, after his work and I had to have everything packed to go, to Washington
State. Those two days were just a blur to me. I had to do some Visiting
Teaching before I left and finish a slideshow for John X. Smith a
great-great-great Grandfather for the Booth that our Smith family was doing for
the 24th of July. The LDS Church bought a big tent to house four booths
for 4 of the Founding Fathers of Beaver, Utah. They formed four Committees with
Family members in-charge of a booth. They called me because I had the most
Genealogy and Pictures. So I started going to the meetings to help do this
booth. I just barely got done with the Slideshow and a Descendent list for a
big chart that they were putting up and turned it all over to Val Smith and his
daughter before we left. That was a real big job to do. I spent hours and
hours. I was really stressed out. I hope it was worth all the work that I put
into it. Val’s Daughter email me and
told me that they were making a CD of all the work that I did. I thinks I am going to tell you about our trip to Washington in another Journal Entry.
This one is getting to be too long.

Sad right now!

I called Ember and she tells me that she is not interested in what I was tell her. You know how much that hurt inside. I asked her a question and she didn't answer the question. She needed me to ask the question again. I feel like I don't matter to her much. She must be really mad at me for something. I love her so much. I think about her everyday and wonder what's going on in her life. I want her to call me more often and tell me her life and I want her to be interested in us down here. too. Ok! I am just really sad right now. I hate crying when my kids dismiss you like you are nothing. Oh man ******** How Can I make this up to my Daughter. I think that sometimes she hurts me at times, that I can't handle that. I just can't handle when she push me away. I don't want to interfere in her life, I just want to know how her life is going, so I can be excited with her or sad with her. I want her to share her life's experiences with me and I would like to share my life experiences with her. She is so far away. Maybe I will write a letter to her. Sad after our Phone call and how it went. I will Call her maybe Saturday night! or maybe tonight!

Memorial Day and Honoring those who fought in the Military.

I am just letting you know that my Cameron being a Boy Scout now, asked if he could put a flag on Uncle Mick Grave. So we asked one of the Young Men Leaders, Brother Erickson, in our Ward, if he could barrow one of the Flags that the Scouts puts on everyone front yard and at the Cemetery, to be put on Uncle Mick’s grave. His Scout Leader graciously gave him permission and brought it over to our house, an extra flag. So Cameron got up early on Memorial Day, to run this flag up to the cemetery. When Evening came he wanted to wait until the last possible moment to go back to pick up this American Flag and return it to Brother Erickson, who is in-charge of the flags. Cameron tells me that this is his way of Honoring family members that fought in a War and Uncle Mick fought in the Korean War. Grandpa Lindsay had a teaching opportunity to tell his Grandson, Cameron about honoring those men and women who fought in wars. The night before Memorial Day, Grandpa was up at the cemetery. Cameron and I drove up to the side of Grandpa’s Truck. We headed over to where Grandpa was in the cemetery by the Lindsay Graves on the south side of the cemetery, by the canal. Grandpa decided to have this teaching moment, by telling stories about all his relatives that were buried there. Cameron asked where he could put an American Flag on Uncle Mick’s grave, he couldn't find it. He said that Uncle Mick's grave didn't have a headstone or a flag pole to fly a flag. Grandpa Lindsay was really excited that he could show Cameron where Uncle Mick was buried so that Cameron could post the American Flag on his grave. Grandpa Lindsay did make a comment that: “Where was the flag that Craig had." “It needs to have a flag pool for this flag that Craig was given during Uncle Mick's funeral, so Craig can fly His father's flag in honoring Mick’s Military Service.” Cameron promised that he would get a flag for his grave. Cameron keeps his promises. Cameron does follow through with this promise that he made with Grandpa Lindsay. Cameron doesn’t know Grandpa Lindsay’s brother, Uncle Mick very well but that wasn't the point. There were a lot of things that Cameron learned from his Grandpa Lindsay for Memorial Day and part of which was teaching him about honor and integrity.

Scrapping the paint off the house with Cameron and the Young Men of the Beaver Third Ward.

It is now Thursday. Bro. Black asked about D.J. and how he was doing in his Mission.
I asked the young men to come over as a service project to help me scrape the paint off the house. Bro. Black and Bro. Kesler were supervising. They started on the West Side of the Dad's old house. All the Young Men of the Ward were from age 12 to 15 years old, some of them did very well at working.
But others wanted to play or give another kid a hard time. Some of them were running around not doing anything until someone gave them a small little job. I felt sorry for the leaders trying to keep them busy. Sometime they would lose a little patience with them. I was nudged by one of the leaders to step in and supervise what I wanted done out of the young men. So I started pointing out a few
little jobs for them to do. That went pretty good for a while then they were losing their attention on the job again. Some of the young men worked the whole time and did very well. I was wondering if some of the parents knew how their own sons would be working and acting under someone else's supervision. Cameron worked really well, but I was there. I did not say anything to Cameron though, only to find the family ladder. He spent his time scrapping. I am very proud of him. I kept saying to some of the young men to be kind to each other and try to work together. One of the young men was using Grandpa Lindsay's Garden hoe as a weed whacker and busted the handle in half. I use that hoe all the time. I guess I will have to buy another hoe when we can get enough spare money to buy one. I need to start a small garden out back.
I am not sure if my legs will allow me to do that. I am not walking very well these days. The Bishop showed up and said that they could not finish the job scrapping the house that night. They would have too come back another day. They said they would come back with power tools, like sanders or something like that. I kinda knew that when the boys had pretty much lost all their attention on Scrapping the house. I knew that that would be it for the Day. They all ran over for Drinks and headed to the Truck. The leaders promised a Dutch oven Dinner a Bro. Keslers House afterwards.
Cameron didn't go because he had already eaten at the Funeral in Cedar City.
The Bishop said they would come back on Saturday. Milo will be driving in on Friday
night. So he might be there when the bishop and young men comeback. Maybe
Milo will go outside and help them work on the house with Cameron and the others.
We'll see. Helen said that Kriston has a paint sprayer and she told Kriston that she would use the Trust Money to hire him to Paint the house and fix the Roof.
Kriston asked Zade to fix the roof. We can't get any fire Insurance on the house
until the roof is fixed. So we are sitting here without any Fire Insurance.

I am trying my best to put out a lot of problems that keep coming up. I feel
sometimes overwhelmed with all the problems that come along. They are coming far
too fast for me to handle. I am not working fast enough. Things that get passed me and
I don't catch them quick enough I get into trouble because I didn't handle them quickly enough. Example: the Primary Children's Hospital Bill. I called them and they told me that Milo didn't have to pay anything more to them because I applied for financial assistance and Medicaid covered the rest of the bill, I call the Anesthesiologist bill and the Pediatric Bill and they couldn't find any Record that the Hospital told me that they still think I Still owe the hospital and them. I know I still owe them but how Much?
I need to call both of them today. Just one more thing to do.

On Wednesday I took Cameron and Zade to a funeral in Cedar City. My Great Aunt
Thelma Atkin Holyoak Barber passed away and had her funeral on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010.
They buried her that day. She was Grandma Arvilla Atkin Gale's Sister. Zade got to meet "Tink" Holyoak and Cullen Holyoak, Aunt Thelma's sons. "Tinks" family runs Napa Auto in Beaver.
I have written D.J. again. I haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks. I hope his is doing just fine.

I still haven't heard from Coltin sense I got his letter telling me that they moved him to Hurricane from Millard County Jail - to the Washington County Jail. I wish I knew what was going on there. If I asked the Officers at the Jail they don't tell me what's happening with him. They tell me that I have to hear it from Coltin.

Zade also went in to the Verizon store in Cedar City to get himself his own Cell Phone Plan. But they have to do a check on his credit. or a Credit Check. He was saying that he will pay for a whole year like $1000.00 and add Ember to his plan. Ember then will pay him $40.00 a month for her part of the bill and if she runs into a problem and can't pay him for a month that ok!
She can make her payment up later to Zade. I have tried to call Ember for a couple of Days now and she isn't retuning my calls. I will try again this evening. I wish I had someone else's phone number to check on her for me. I worry about her.
This all will ease up on your our Phone Bill sense Milo is making way less money now.

Cameron went to Swim Team this Morning and got a new Team Swim Suit.

Ha I need to go for now!

Take care! I will check my Email in a couple of days to see if D.J. has sent an
email.

I need to find a way to end my enteries for this journal.

I love all of my Children and my family and may Husband, Till next time,

Jennifer L. Palmer

Wilcox Family Photo's - Ceon James Wilcox

Years ago I had asked my mother-in-law, Joyce Wilcox Palmer, if she had any old photo's that we could make copies from. She said that there were no photos.
I had asked if she had tried to contact other family members, to see if they had any Old Photo's. She said that they never took picture back then. Ok! I decided to let it go for now, and not bug her anymore.
This last couple of years I have been working on Milo's fathers side of the Family, the Palmer's and Heaton's from Alton, Orderville and Kanab and Moccasin, Arizona.
I was able to copies of some Photo's from Milo's Aunt Roxie, Jonathan Palmer's sister, before she died, last year.
I would love to work on Milo's Mother's side of the Family. I was really thrilled to run onto Jodi Gooch on www.findagrave.com. She is Milo's Mom's First Cousin. Cleon's youngest brothers Daughter. When I opened my email and saw what Jodi sent to me, all those nice Photo's of Milo's ancesters, Joyce's father and family. I was so excited. I was so excited for my kids and Milo. I was so excited, that I called my mother-in-law up on the phone, right away, before I even downloaded all the photo's to my Computer. I read off all the photo descriptions to her. She was so excited. I told her that I would email them to thank her! ! !
A (thank you) doesn't seem enough for the effort that Jodi went through scanning and loading them onto each email and sending them to me.

I will have to wait for Milo, to get home from driving. He is a Truck Driver. I called him and told him about Jodi and the photo's.
He was so surprised to know that there was Older Photo's out there that we didn't have. I am now so glad that I believe that Heavenly Father has inspired me to keep working on this website so that I can happen on to some of these distant relatives of Milo's on www.findagrave.com.
Milo suggested that we give you a copy of Cleon's Video History. I will leave that up to Him. It is a very nice Video. Years ago I took our Video Camera to one of Milo's Family Function at Milo's mother's house in West Valley. I intended to visit my Grandmother at my Aunts home and spend an hour and Video her.
My Grandmother was staying in Salt Lake at the time with one of her Daughters, Phyllis (Gale) Brockmeier, my mother's sister. Milo was being stubborn at the time and wouldn't let me stay and video my Grandmother, at my Aunts house. He wanted to get back to his family gathering. Milo is so one sided when it comes to his family. So all I got of her was less then 5 minutes of my Grandmother on Video Tape. I asked Milo if he would come back to get me later and he said; "No, he wouldn't do that."
Then Milo insisted on heading back to his Mother house right then. It was so embarrassing the way he was acting in front of my relatives. I have treated his family really nice and with all the respect in the world respect. Milo insisted so we headed back.I could argue back with him. I was so very sad. But what could I do. My Grandmother died two weeks later. I didn't get a chance again to get my Grandmother's History on video. It still hurts to this day to know that Milo has been one-sided with his family for a lot of years.
Anyway, we headed back to Milo's Mom's house. While everyone was visiting in the kitchen I felt left out and ignored. That day some of Milo's family treated me quite rudely. Cleon, Milo's Grandfather was the only one that had talked with me. He treated me like I was part of the Family. He showed me how he cared about me and my children. I really appreciated the way he treated me as one of the family. I learn to love Milo's Grandfather. So here came the Inspiration from Heavenly Father. "You need to video Milo's Granddad." It was so strong. I told myself; If I can't video my own Grandmother then I need to Video Tape Him. The thought came to me "This will be for my own Children". I wasn't doing this for Milo's family, it was for my own children. Cleon was sitting in the Living room by himself. while everyone elso was in the Kitchen . It was the perfect opportunity.
I had an empty video tape with only five minutes of my grandmother on it. So I grabed my video Camera. I asked Cleon, if I could
ask him a few question while videoing him. He gave me his permission "YES". I got the video camera, set-up in place in front of him and sat down and I started with questions of Cleon from his childhood.
Everyone else was in the kitchen at the time and it was quiet enough for me to videoing him, I thought. He was so good at answering my questions. He seemed to enjoy being videoed.
After a little while my husband, Milo came into the Living Room and saw what I was doing. He was quite surprised as to what I had started. The look on his face was something else. He came over and insisted on taking over what I was doing. I kinda was a little upset that he would push me out of the way. What could I have done. Milo had a tendency to be controlling at times. Like when he wouldn't let me video my Grandmother. He had to have his way like a spoiled child. I now can look back and see how this controlling Husband redirected my life in ways that haven't been very pleasant. I gave into his tantrums too often.
Anyway, after a little while, everyone else that was in the kitchen, started to mossy into the living-room.
The house got really quiet when they realized what Milo was Doing, videoing Granddad Wilcox. They all thought that it was Milo's idea and they did gave him the credit for it. I want them to look at Milo with favorable eyes. So I let them think it was all Milo's Idea. They all found themselves a seat and sat down quietly to listen to Granddad Cleon Wilcox tell his History. Every once in a while I would suggest a question or two. I had a set of questions already prepare for when I was going to use on my Grandmother. I felt like I was pushed to the side like I didn't know what I was doing and Milo let them do it. They didn't want me in the picture anymore. I felt like I was pushed out of the way for this interview. GrandDad saw what had happened and had not said a word. He didn't stick up for me. But yes I was just an in-law and that didn't matter. I was so glad though, that Cleon was so willing to continue with tell his life story. I stepped back and let Milo's family get involved. I said to myself,"Oh well". Milo's family needs to look up to Milo and praise him.
I felt bad that I couldn't get my own grandmother's history done, but it wasn't a total loss, at least something good came out of it. We now have Granddad Wilcox's History on Video. Years later Milo Aunts were sitting around a table at another Family Wilcox Reunion at Maxine's Cabin. That day was not a good day for me at the Reunion. I received quite a few slide remarks from Milo's Family. It was really hard take some of their comments. I heard them really bragging up Milo on how he video Granddad. I gues I lost it and it was upsetting to me and I was also upset with Milo at the time with the way his treatment of me during the Reunion and decided to say something to them who really start the videoing of Cleon. The look on their face was something else. You know I am not sure they believed me. A couple of years later, I got Milo to take our little Family over to visit with Granddad's at his home to do another video of him. I wanted him to talk about his Mission. Cleon went to the Samoan Islands on his Mission. It was my idea and pushing to get that accomplished.
It was a nice visit and we got Granddad to talk about Mission. By now Milo's family has got the message that they can use our Camera to video Granddad. when every they wanted. I really didn't want them to ware out my camera. Milo being very controlling he just took it. No-one bothered to ask me. I was the one who wanted the Camera, so that I could video our children. My Mother wore out her Cameron take Photo of he family and not her children. So we don't have very many Photo of me and my brothers and sister.
Milo let his family take our Camera to Farmington and had Granddad tell a history up there too. Milo's brothers had the money to buy a nice Camera. Why didn't they? They didn't like me to bring out my camera to take family Photo's, but they would borrow mine and ware out mine. Milo's family kept borrowing our video Camera for other things also. They were waring out my Camera. I was getting worried that my camera would brake and I wouldn't have a video camera to video tape my Children. They had more money then we did and I felt they didn't care. They could have gotten themselves their our Camera. They treat my Camera as though it was the Palmer Family Camera. I didn't let my own Brothers and sister borrow our Camera.
I want to make a copy for each of our children to be put into their own Genealogy books. Someday, I would like to ask Milo's family to have someone sit down and listen to his history and type it out onto paper. I know that will be a big task to take on. Someday, maybe!
Plus I volunteered to be in charge of a Palmer Reunion in July. I have two months left to plan it. This will be my first for a reunion on Milo's side of the Family,
for this Summer at my house. I grew up, with my Mother being the Family Genealogist for her Family and doing Gale and Smith reunions.
Everyone in my family has labeled me now, as the Family Genealogist. My sister developed Breast Cancer and doesn't feel she has the time to take on that task.
All I want to do, is to gather Family Histories and Photo's for my children's Genealogy books. I want my children to know their own ancestors on both sides of their families.
Plus I want to Help my bothers and sister's Children also to get their Genealogy books put together.
I forward the email to Milo's Cousin, Margaret. She really appreciated the pictures. That makes me feel good. I sent it onto Glen and all he could write about to me was, does my mother have these photo's. Not even a little thank you at all. How rude!!! I emailed him back and suggest that he send a thank you to Jodi for sharing these photo's with his family. Did it ac-cure to him that I didn't have to send these pictures on to him at all or offer send them to his Mother. I could have kept quiet and not have said anything at all and just inter-grated them into my genealogy. Oh WEll!!
I really need to go for right now.

Feeling good inside.

Well today I am feeling kinda great today. I have bee drinking Zija and taking Zija capsules. I have lost 20 lbs. I have noticed that my ankles are not swollen anymore. I don't have dark circles under my eyes anymore. My knees feel better. My stomach feels great. I like feeling this way, I hope I can keep taking Zija. I feel alert and not sleepy. I really enjoyed going to church today. I enjoy having Cameron sit by me in Sacriment Meeting. It won't be long now when he will be able to pass the Sacriment and her will be sitting up front with allthe Deacons. I still can't believe that he is 12 now. I am so glad the Heavenly Father is blessing our Family. Cameron is doing so well on his recovery on his Broken Leg. He is healing just fine. D.J. is getting blessed everyday while he is in the MTC. He is learning the Tigalic Language quickly with the Heavenly Fathers help. He is leaving for Manila, Philippines on March 8th, 2010. Now Zade has been recieving blessing everyday too. His financial situation seems to be coming together just fine. He will have his Jeep payed off soon and some others of his bills also. I am so glad that he has a testimony of Tithing. He pays his tithing when he is supposed too. Ember is recieving blessing all the time too. She is gaining more straignth and ability. Heavenly Father has blessed her with good friends, that love her and help her when she need help. Cotlin has been bless to be in place where he is getting along with others around him. I pray everyday that he is comforted and is recieving blessing. I pray that someday someone special will come into Ember and Zade's life that will marry them. When the time comes the same will happen for Coltin and D.J. and Cameron. I hope I am here to enjoy that special day with them. Yes, today has been a good day. Today I felt as though Heavenly Father was sitting next to me in Sacriment Meeting the whole time. It is comforting to know is there for my Family.
