OH, Those Wonderful Grandkids....

 How I LOVE THEM!

Birthday Week with the GIRLS! IN Other Words; FUN TIMES in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

 

Not in the right order, but whatever the order, it was SO FUN!  Just a great time.  

HAHAH...Turning 80

 Thanks, Bonnie, for the fun page of events taken from my year of birtth.  So fun.

Glorious Sundays!

After the dedication of the St George Utah Red Cliffs Temple.  We got to help usher and it was wonderful to be in the temple.  Thank you, Mike and Polly, for the opportunities you have given to Allen and me in the last few months.  Thank you also, President Thompson for even thinking of us.  

 

Easter Sunday at Janessa's ward and her home.  What a marvelous afternoon.  I could feel the LOVE!

Happy Doctor's Day

 

He wanted a PhD in Biology because he loved animals and plants and stuff like that, but realized not that many jobs would be available, but there would always be a job for a doc; so he became one. She was a nurse for many years and her friends said, "Let's be Doctors of Nursing," so she said, "Why not? Just because I have four young children, that shouldn't stop me!" So she became a Doctor of Nursing. In Junior high he and a friend leaned across the aisle and said to each other, "When we grow up, let's be doctors." So they became doctors. One day driving home from her job as a registered dietitian specializing in diabetes, she was perplexed because a diabetic patient said to her, "Hmm, I don't know about what you say, I'll check with my doctor to see what he says." So, on the way home she said to herself, "I'LL just take the MCAT in 6 weeks and be the doctor and THEN they'll do what I suggest." (Which they don't). So she became the doctor. It's National Doctor Day, and I couldn't be prouder of these amazing, talented, hard-working, dedicated, fun, musical, happy, uncomplaining professionals. They did not get their brains from the mother. They did get their music skills from the father. They did not get anything from me except really WHITE skin, for which I apologize. Not pictured here is the one other outstanding son who makes us laugh and smile all the time and takes incredible pictures of our gatherings and well, anyone else's gatherings who want him to. These four are joined by outstanding spouses who support these docs in their shenanigans: band practices, quilt making, scuba diving, etc. HAPPY DOCTOR'S DAY, Jordan, Jenni, Jeremy, and Kristi. Oh, and by the way, I have this pain in my side...what should I do about it?

Grandkids...How I LOVE Them!

From the St George Temple Behind the Scenes

We went to hear Roland Lee speak at Sons of the Utah Pioneers.  It was a marvelous, inspirational meeting.  He had been on the committee for the St George Utah Temple Open House.  These are a portion of the slides he showed during his presentation.  It was so fun to hear these many interesting happenings at that six-week long event.  I was so grateful to be there.
