Happy Easter

We are all in different places. But we got together over texting to say Happy Easter. 

In on of Debbie’s pictures Devon was behind the camera. In the other picture Nicko was behind the camera. 

The other siblings all said Happy Easter to us. Technology is an amazing gift that can bring us together. 

New PR

He beat 6:00. 

Watching his face as he came up the back stretch was amazing. The drive to get there was awesome. 

It was Spring yesterday

Just like that, it’s winter again. Glad I didn’t wear my capris today. 

General Conference

How I love this weekend. We started off with the yummy tradition. 

Saturday afternoon we had visitors. 

I found a lovely meme on Facebook that I sent to Josh. 

Craig and Boaz built a bridge. 

I discovered I was five blocks short. 

But the highlight really was listening to the prophets and authorities teach from the scriptures. They incorporated verses into their language. It reminded me of Elder McConkie when he said they had become his words because he had read them and studied them and loved them. 

It was an example to me of what the new curriculum was supposed to produce. People who were comfortable and conversant with the scriptures. 

My favorite talks, if I had to pick two were Elder Holland. He brought me to tears. And Elder Kyle McKay of the Seventy. I wondered where he came from. I expect we’ll see more of him. I loved his message of the immediate goodness of God to help us while we wait for deliverance. 

And President Nelson gave me words to help me express how l felt when I found out about Larry Kerr. He passed away Friday evening. 

I am ever so grateful that I took the time to see Larry and Utahna last year. It has been a long time since they became my family and allowed me into their home and hearts. They became my family as I was away from mine. I’m saddened to hear of Larry’s passing this weekend. I’m sad for his family , especially Tahna, as they find a new normal. I am comforted by the words of President Nelson today. I’m not worried about him. I know where he is and what he is doing. But I know I and many others will miss him dearly. Until we meet again. I love you Larry.

Spring!!!

Crocus!!!!

Mile stone.

After 20 years of being married, I finally made chocolate chip cookies. 🍪 

Craig has taught both his sons. It has been a Sunday tradition. 

For Relief Society birthday visits, I decided I would try his recipe, because no other recipe will do now. 

They turned out good. I was proud of myself. The recipe was written down for the boys. That was easier than trying to remember. Craig makes them from memory. 

I was a bit nervous, because I’ve never been really good at cookies. Other things, yes. But I did it. 

Happy birthday, Ron

It’s amazing what you can do over texting. All Ron’s kids had a root beer float to celebrate a good man. 

It started off with Dawn and Brad. 

Then some one sent a picture of the real thing. 

Of course it was Ronda. 

Tris from LuRose. 

Slurping the foam. 

And when we got home, we got our game on. 

Craig took the picture and I held his drink. He said I was a two fisted drinker. 😕

A nice way to remember an amazing man.
