Where on Earth is Junie Tunes?

Have you noticed that Junie's Journeys have been far and few between?  Hey - this sweet little old lady has things to do and places to go!  For starters - she's dating a hot guy (dad) on Thursdays - they smooch and dance and tell each other stories.  Dad can't get away from her red lipstick on his forehead.  Once again reminding us of the true love they have for each other.  On a downer - she's not as mobile... as the State of Utah has kindly asked her not to be behind the wheel of a car again - which has been very hard for this socialite butterfly.... but with kind family and sweet neighbors - her hair is done up in a do each week and her 'lighting up the town' is always arranged for.  Recently she's found a few more rooms in the house and has found a few interesting pictures that we are trying to help her put names to.  Her stories of family are precious and we write down the words as fast as we can. Winters are difficult as she is a country girl, and spending time outside is her favorite thing to do.  So summer cannot come fast enough for her.  Recently she's added a few more people in her life.  She is the proud owner of 5 great grandchildren!  Charlie, Tyler, Andrew, Emma and now Jacob.  Wow how the generations are increasing in numbers!!  She's followed her grandchildren and their every move, Betsy & David and their two sons, Brandon and his plays, Heidi and Nick as they are newly engaged, Kate and her crazy adventures in life (: and Erin's cheering at school.  She's also enjoyed pictures of Andy and Emma, from Matt and Bethany, Prayed for a solider named Mike, and his wife Ashley.  Celebrated a new baby from Mandy and Ryan, and welcomed home her Missionary Grandson Ryan.  This woman is BUSY!  She still loves to go to lunch with the lunch bunch, watch her Jazz games, visit on the phone non-stop, and loves leading the sing at her ward.  Oh the lessons of love and service and sacrifice we've all learned from Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma.  What a blessing she is in ALL of our lives.  Lucky us.  Eric, Terri, Myself and Del - we get to enjoy some giggles and smiles from how she lives her life.  She is a treasure in every way.  LOVE YOU MOM!!
