Remembering you on Mother’s Day
Sun, May 13th 2012 6:23p Gayle Elgort My Miracle Mother by Joanna Fuchs
‘Mom, I look at you
and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.

Happy Birthday Mom
Wed, Feb 15th 2012 8:42a Gayle Elgort Mom
Happy Birthday Mom! You would have been 81 years old today. On this special day, I celebrate you!
Guiding Light Mom
Mom, from the time I was really young,
I realized I had someone…you,
who always cared,
who always protected me,
who was always there for me no matter what.
You taught me right from wrong,
and pushed me to do the right thing,
even when it was hard to do.
You took care of me when I was sick,
and your love helped make me well.
You had rules,
and I learned that [read] Keywords: facebook

Remembering you on Mothers Day
Sun, May 8th 2011 11:45a Gayle Elgort Happy Mother’s Day mom!
Today I celebrate you not only on this special day, but always. This is the first Mother’s Day without you and I am feeling a bit melancholy. It was weird not buying you that special card at the card store this year and thinking of a wonderful gift that I could buy you. It’s so hard not to want to pick up the phone to talk to you and hear your voice. But I know that you are looking down on me today and reaching down and smiling. I take comfort [read] Keywords: facebook

Remembering you on your birthday, Mom
Tue, Feb 15th 2011 9:22a Gayle Elgort Happy Birthday mom! Today you would have been 80 years young.
It’s hard to believe that it has been only 5 months since you left us and even harder not to pick up the phone to call you and wish you a happy birthday. But today, I celebrate your life and the memories that you have created for me. To remember your laughter as we chatted about various things from the weather, to your grandchildren, to what was going on in my life. Listening to you speak in half English and half Japanes [read] Keywords: facebook

Sometimes You Just Have To
Fri, Dec 3rd 2010 3:01p Gayle Elgort Just recently, Bruce and I were featured in the Innovators of Vancouver segment which outlined how Elguji and we, as individuals, innovate and leverage social media in our lives.
At first I was really nervous at the thought doing this, but after all was said and done, I had a great time and felt that the segment turned out very good.
If any one of you know me well, I am pretty much the “quiet reserve” behind Bruce’s flamboyant personality. I don’t have a problem with th [read] Keywords: facebook

In Loving Memory of my Mom, Hisako Ujifusa – February 15, 1931 – September 11, 2010
Wed, Sep 15th 2010 8:43p Gayle Elgort As most of you already know, my mom recently passed away peacefully on September 11, 2010. What most of you might not know is what kind of person she was or what kind of life she led.
When my sister was speaking to the Buddhist priest to arrange a memorial for my mom, one of the questions that he had asked her is, if she could describe mom in one word, what would that word be. All of us sisters agreed that the word that described mom the most was the word “courageous”.

Happy Birthday Mom! (February 15, 2010)
Mon, Feb 15th 2010 10:37a Gayle Elgort Mom in her early 20's
Mom, this blog entry is dedicated to you in honor of your 79th birthday. As a mother, I now understand the sacrifice, the unconditional love, the selflessness and the patience you gave of yourself for your children. The past couple of years, you have encountered some hardships that a child never wants to see their parents go through. Yet, you are a survivor and every day you show me how much a mother’s love and strength can carry her through even through the [read] Keywords: facebook

Tue, Dec 1st 2009 10:37a Gayle Elgort Ok…I know these things are silly and that there are a ton of these “fun games” floating around, but I thought this one in particular was funny and amusing so I wanted to share it with you. Take some time to check out your personalized “statement” and post it in the comments. I’d love to hear what every one comes up with! Have fun!

Domino Designer 7.x (49)
Sun, Nov 22nd 2009 9:28p Gayle Elgort It’s Domino Designer 7.x day! (November 22, 2009) That is, it’s Donahan Domino Designer’s 7 year (or 49 in people years) birthday!!!!
Seven years ago, Bruce and I were considering a dog but were just not 100% sure what kind of dog we wanted or even if we were ready to commit to the responsibility of dog ownership. In Bruce’s quest to find the perfect dog, our friend Kelly told him that her mother bred English Springer Spaniels and that they were an excellent dog to ow [read] Keywords: domino

Wyoming’s 2009 3A State Swim Meet – 400 Free Relay
Fri, Nov 13th 2009 2:55p Gayle Elgort Ever since they were babies, my sister knew that her twins were meant to be in the water! Watching them dunk their heads in the bath tub while bathing and loving it, my sister decided to get them into swim lessons at an early age. At the age of 4, both (fraternal) twins, Kelsey and Katelyn we deep into swim lessons. From then on, it was history!!
Just this past month, the Worland Senior High School 3A (the same school I graduated from) swim team went to State. Below is the YouTube clip o [read] Keywords: facebook

Women Drivers (A Man’s Perspective)
Wed, Nov 4th 2009 4:20p Gayle Elgort This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Cadillac doing 65 mph with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner. I looked away for a couple seconds! And when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup. As a man, I don’t scare easily. But she scared me so much; I dropped my electric shaver which knocked the donut out of my other hand! In all the confusion of trying to straighte [read] Keywords: facebook

Tomato Bisque Soup Recipe
Tue, Sep 29th 2009 3:36p Gayle Elgort With the cooler weather around the corner, the sound of comfort foods are starting to entertain my mind and stomach. Last night I made an attempt to make some homemade tomato bisque soup with a nice green salad and french bread on the side. I make a lot of homemade soups, but never tomato bisque. It is one of my favorite soups so I thought I might try my hand at it. After all was said and done, I thought the soup came out wonderful and what I would call “a do-over”.
