A Little Bit of That...

 ...and a little bit of this...

Our daughter-in-law meets with the KING Of ENGLAND.  How it all came about - who knows, but they did a background check on her.  And, she must have passed because there she is and there HE IS!!!!!!

March 2005 - that's when we met Garn and Dorothy...and we have been friends since that fateful day in the Middleton ward.  we don't see each other a lot, but occasionally go for a walk in the mall.  And, we talk and talk.  So FUN!  (I look like a rabbit in this picture, but whatever.)

A fun visit from Laurene and Val Starkey happened on Friday.  She's so inspiring.  

BAD Test Results

 Good grief, and here I thought I was so healthy.

Gotta try harder with my eating habits, that's for sure.  

But, what to believe about what is healthy or unhealthy?  It's a conundrum.

A Little Bit of This...

 ...and a little bit of that...

Every year, we give a few people a waxed amaryliss.  I was stunned to see it blooming in an outside pot.  It's still GROWING!  She potted it outside.  And, there it is in its full splendor.  Good job, Gigi.

Jessica Stout brought the activity girls over to perform a service.  They put the children's pictures books in alphabetical order.  They worked quickly and efficiently.  And, they figured out a system very quickly.  I was super impressed.  Thanks, Ivy, Eden, Olivia, Mabel, Maddie, Tylee, and Oakley.

HAPPINESS OVERFLOWS.....

 ...when I look at the pictures of my family on Family Search!

I just screen captured this of Jenni; she's such a marvelous, wonderful person in every way.  She brings me so much JOY!

As do all my children.

Almost Heaven - Virginia and West Virgina!

Garden tour with Jordan and Bobby and Bridger!

Bridge Tour with my favorite daughters.   

Jenni Glass Blowing in west Virginia........You blow for about one minute, then turn and turn and turn.  Quite a unique experience.....

Out in front of the fancy dancy Green Briar Hotel.  Boy, was I surprised by this hotel with its secret government hiding place.  Quite unsettling what the government did.
 

While I WAS Having a Birthday,

 Amy and Calder and friends were doing this:

7 mile hike in and back with the reward of a hot springs....

82! GOOD GRIEF...

Time to Stop Counting: But What a GREAT DAY!  From start to FINISH! 

And it extended beyond.  

Cards, texts, calls, gifts

If you look closely at this picture, you will see - hanging from my pants pocket - the napkin belonging to the restaurant.  BOY< am I embarrassed.  But, they haven't come to get me yet!  

I love these two dear friends; Allison Christensen, Erika Mendenhall; they are a JOY to be with!

I was going to list all the people, but decided instead to just scan one card from Allison....

I really love getting funny cards....but THIS ONE - a KEEPER.  Alison said there aren't' a lot of people she could give this to.  But, it's so funny!
