And, here's how I chose: I looked at the winner in the previous game and the SCORE. If they scored high and have a higher ranking, I gave them the win.
I actually know nothing about the teams, so we'll see what happens.
In November, our family did service for us old folk. It was so great.
A variety of services was done; from washing windows to fixing a door hand, putting up grab bars; putting up Christmas decor; so many great things were done.
One thing that was done was COOKING food for us to eat later. Like frozen lasagne; it was SO GOOD.
We invited Jenni and Brent to share it with us and, man, was it tasty!
Thank you, family, such kindnesses were shown to us.
..but we weren't there to see the fun! We drove out after the party, but they were off for a birthday lunch!
Here's some pictures from the BIG DAY!
Here's a picture of the three Fisher girls/cousins......from Janessa...
women who had or now live in Rexburg gather together....it's so amazing to be with these remarkable women. So faithful, so talented, so GOOD! And, so FUN!
Jean Brown in the front row is 100 YEARS OLD. And, so incredibly sharp!
Many have/had cancer, knee replacements, health issues, but here they are smiling away. I'm so grateful I get to go to this event once a year. How much longer will it last? Who knows? But, it's fun while it lasts.
I wore my Ricks t--shirt for this particular group gathering. I thought it very fitting.
It was perfect. And, I'm very grateful for their friendship and the beautiful world that God created.
My Grandparents GEE on their 60th wedding anniversary:
But, I'm grateful for those two people; they raised an incredible son, my father, so I can't judge their expressions. They were amazing parents to five high-achieving sons.
Here's a picture of Allen and me on our 60th anniversary - we were having such a grand time; just the two of us, with thousands of other people, in Disney World. But, maybe our situation was different. Different times, different people.
The Gang of FOUR....who make it lots more fun to go to the gym.
Freddy, concert to the church and ex Marine; Marty, the fisherman who loves to proudly show his latest catches: Bishop Ron, whose wife just died recently so he's not Bishop Ron any more. He's also an ex Marine, convert to the church and just the greatest guy around. And, in the long-sleeved blue shirt is Rod, widower, but not for long; he's getting married soon, even tho he vowed never to marry again. every Friday he brings teh BEST home-made chocolate chip cookies EVER. He makes about six dozen a week to share.
Chatting with these guys makes going to the gym a delight.
...Kristi, Bobby, and Jordan host a HOT CHICKEN WINGS party to see who can eat the hottest of the hot sauces.
to appreciate the sweet!
The BITTER - but Jennis confident that little BLAIRE FISHER (6 months) will be fine under the care of the children's hospital in Lehi, Utah.
Her's me trying on some Easter finery with Sheryl Sullivan. This makes me want an Easter hat!
It's good to have a doctor who is not pompous.
fun and family and food and friends:
Blowing out NINE candles; how fast they grow!
Happy birthday you Fisher kids. You are so blessed to have wonderful parents.
..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.
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!
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.
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!
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 dinner at teh Ericsson home....great fun, good times, and delicious food.
Dozens of nativity sets were on display at the LDS Visitor's center. But, the astounding thing is, they were from ONE LADY! And, these were only 1/3 of them. Oh, it was so delightful to go thru and peruse these amazing sets from all over the world.
One of the teeny tiny ones.
The sister missionary's favorite one. With Joseph tending the baby while Mary sleeps.
Also on display were copies of stain-glassed panels from the Rome Temple. There are dozens and dozens of significant details from the New Testament and the life of the Saviour. It is marvelous. It took the husband and wife three years to complete it.
Gigi and I were both inspired to see these remarkable and inspiring displays of people's talents.
Here's my bracket. Calder and I are having a contest. And, here's how I chose: I looked at the winner in the previous game and ...
