Fireworks Page and Presidency Meeting

Fire Works

I find if I put a title under my photo they will stay on one page when I have it printed.

Today Tommy and I scrubbed my floors and I vacuumed and got ready for my meeting. I made this page this morning as I rested in between doing stuff. The pictures were really bad so I'm glad it looks half way okay.

Our presidency meeting went well. I love the ladies I work with. We got lots of things figured out and had a fun time doing it. Now to email the Bishop with a few questions and I am done for the night.

I took the kids to YM/YW and now it's time to kick back and watch a little TV.

Grateful Statement: I can't quit thinking about Conference and all the talks. I am so grateful we can listen and then download them on a phone and listen again. What a world we live in. I am blessed!

Hayden's Baptism Page

 Sweet boy Hayden's Baptism

Stadium of Fire at BYU

I finally got Hayden's Baptism page done. It took me three tries to finally get it together. My computer kept freezing up and would lose what I had done. And I made the Stadium of Fire page. It was fun to relive these experiences as I scrapped these pages. 

I got my spare room all ready for Kathy. I put my quilt I finished on it so it will be cozy and warm.

For dinner I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and rolls. 

Now it's my bed time. 

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my kids and grandkids. I just love each one so much. I am blessed to have such a wonderful loving family.

Sunday Conference Day

I always made these slippers for my dear mom. She loved them!

I watched conference today. The talk by President Eyring spoke to my soul. And when he told of the grandmother who was visiting her grandson in prison and ask the Lord why, she was told, "I gave him to you because I knew you would love him no mater what." I was filled with hope and peace in my heart.
I also worked on a baptism page for Hayden. But my computer froze up and then Elements did some thing weird with an action so I am back to square one. But I know exactly where the pictures go and what paper to put on so it won't be so hard this time.
And I started another pair of slippers that I crocheted for ME!! It's winter and my feet get cold so now I'm all set.
It has been an uplifting and wonderful day. The Spirit has filled my house and my heart.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Prophet and Apostles who spoke to my heart today. I am so blessed to be able to watch it in my home.

Saturday Conference

Another Page Done

Janna and Harley with Precious, Jewel, Toby, Molly and Maggie.

I watched conference today. I love all the talks. So many about being a missionary. Yikes. I'm not good at that. But I will now go out and meet all the sisters that are less active. That will be my missionary work.
My favorite, as ususal, was Elder Holland. His talk on depression and mental illness was so close to my heart it just made me so happy I had to cry. I love the hope it gives me.
After the afternoon conference I made Chicken Alfredo with bowtie noodles. Bailee's request. I also worked on pages today and finished my slippers I was working on. Now my feet can be warm.
Janna and Harley took the dogs for a walk. We are dog sitting two of the neighbors dogs. They were quite the site going down the road. I told them it looked like the "Dog Whisperer" leading his pack.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the talks delivered in conference. I just brings the Spirit right to me. There is always the talk that was given just for me. I am blessed to be able to sit and watch each speaker.

Making Soap

Bailee making soap with me

Road Trip

I ran out of laundry soap this morning so Bailee helped me make some. Grating the soap is the hardest part. But she did it in nothing flat and now I'm back in business with soap.

I also made bread again in the middle of all this, and finished this page.

Mary has a son getting married so she couldn't go to get her toes done so Janna, Bailee and I went. It was fun to go with Janna. My toes nail is almost all grown out. Probably a couple more months and it will be done. The doctor was right. It will be a year before it's all grown out. 

Janna took me to a preparedness place in Idaho Falls to get the Lecithin for Lori's bread recipe. They didn't have liquid so I got the powder and I'm trying it to see how it works. They have all the Bosch stuff in this little room behind a Pharmacy. It was fun. I'm going back when I have time to look. Maybe Kathy and I will have to go there when she comes to visit.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for wonderful, helpful grandkids. They are such a blessing.

Catching up again!

 Training the puppy to sit with cheerios.

My quilt finally finished!!!

Seems like I am always behind. But at least it's better than my journal I wrote in. It took 10 years to fill up 1/4 of it.
Yesterday Sue and I went to the Temple in the morning. Her daughter in law is going to be induced on Thursday so we decided to go on Wednesday. It was a wonderful session as always.
Then we went to the Book of Mormon class Wednesday night. It was so good. Brother Black always bring it back to us and what it means for our generation. We talked about secret combinations and he told us that if someone tells us not to tell what they have done we are part of a secret combination. So if someone says don't tell anyone we are to say, "I will tell so don't tell me." He says it works and that's what he tells his BYU students.
Today I made bread and took loaves to three sisters Crystal and I visited. We made contact with a sister that was supposedly a no contact. Found out that's not true and she even will let visiting teachers visit with her. Another sister's visiting teachers missed coming for one month and she called her to say she was ready to call the Bishop and find out what happened to her visiting teachers. So much for no contact! Visiting teaching does work. It is Heavenly Father's tool to watch over his daughters. So we are going to everyone on our list and checking to see if they truly are no contact.
And (drum roll, please) I finished the binding on my quilt that I made when Janna and I took a class together in Springville. So it's now done and ready for my spare room.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Relief Society sisters. I am grateful for the great ladies I serve with. Crystal and I felt inspired as we stopped and visited sisters that we had not been able to make contact with. We were definitely led by the Spirit today.

Back to the Land of the Living

 Janna and Bailee - So cute!

Brings back memories of building my house.

I have been so sick I couldn't go to the Women's Conference or Church on Sunday. But today I am feeling much better. I made these pages last week so I did do something.

 Gracie has attitude!

Heather sends me almost a pic a day and this is one of my all time favorites. What a face!

Today I worked on finishing a quilt I made years ago. I am going to get all my projects finished. 

I made Biscuits, Eggs, Country Gravy and Fried Potatoes for dinner. Now I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for good health. I am grateful for feeling better. I am grateful for the power of prayer. I am so blessed!
