It's Been a Month of....

 fun and family and food and friends:

Bri and Jackson on Valentine's Day......

Jaxon fell on the concrete and got his front tooth knocked out.  

It's always so fun to have Bill and Donna come to stay with us.  This time they introduced us to some wonderful delightful friends.  Dan and Margaret and Lue, who is truly one of the most remarkable women I have ever met.  She went on a mission with her husband to the Easter Islands.  She had fish and rice for 18 months; no water, no electricity.  The couple who came after them lasted only two months.  What a lady  of grit and faith.  I loved meeting these wonderful people.

Allen surprised with me with this lovely Cyclamen...but can I keep it alive for more than one week?

Jenni had us over for dinner - what a meal and decor.

Wonderful salad.  Jenni made that flower arrangement.  I forgot to take a picture of the meal.  It was spare ribs and funeral potatoes.    With the strawberries for dessert.  JUST DELICIOUS.

Justin texted this picture.  It made me so very happy.  They had invited Oscar over for dinner.  Of course, that just made this heart happy.  I LOVE THESE GOOD FUN PEOPLE.  

Cutest Great Grandkids Celebrate a Birthday!

 

Evan is so much like his dad.  I often call him Sean.  He's so smart and he loves LEGOS!

Blowing out NINE candles; how fast they grow!

And, now about that Asa Fisher?  If he isn't just the cutest little three year old, or is he two?  Two, I guess....

He just makes me smile.  

Happy birthday you Fisher kids.  You are so blessed to have wonderful parents.

When Friends Send a Note....

 ..it certainly is appreciated!  Thanks, Heather, for the thankful note.  I love and appreciate you.  And, your service as Relief Society president over many years.

That Day When Calder Got Ordained

My absolute favorite picture from that day.  I still don't know how Justin did it, but this isn't photo shopped in any way.  He just caught it at the time when Calder was in the air! 

Sunday, January 18, 2025 in Provo, Utah.

I LOVE these Book Club Ladies!

 Simply - the Best of the BEST!

Tamy Oliver - her lovely home

Katrina Householder, Peggy Hrabar, Rachel Webb, Rachel Bills, Heather Smith, Loretta Allam.

And, yes, we actually did discuss the book, but we had a great time sharing some fun stories. 

 I feel so blessed to have these women in my life!  Thank you Heavenly Father.

Blessings All Around!

 Doris and I went to see Allison for her birthday yesterday.  Allison has been such a great blessing in my life, as has Doris.  After we visited with Allison, Doris asked me to come in and visit.  Which we did for quite awhile.

Then, this morning, I was set apart as a service missionary for the Family Search Virtual Records Operation Center.  

President swells gave me a beautiful blessing which I wish I could have written down.  

In the blessing he Said I should keep a record of the miracles and what is happening on my mission.  He blessed me that I would have temple experiences that were enhanced by this mission.  He said that I should SHARE my experiences with others.  He blessed me with good health and issues I have will not interfere with the mission.  I wish I could remember it all, it was very inspiring.

I FEEL BLESSED!   Thank you, Heavenly Father!

Sunday Night Craft Time with Jenni

 First she gave Allen a haircut, which absolutely looks professional.   

But then the good times roll in:

She's knitting, I'm crocheting.  And, boy, did she help me with my easy project.  Man, I'm hopeless and helpless.

Sunday nights are always a treat when Jenni shows up!  What a blessing to have her so close!  I'm grateful.
