RS Trunks Show is Over


Yea, my Trunk Show is over and it went OK. I took all of the quilts I still have at home, so some of the ladies were a little surprised that I had so many. It did seem funny not to have some of the quilts I sold, but I will get use to that.


Thanks for coming, it was nice to have "family faces" in the room. I was a little scattered brained in my presentation. I had answered so many questions before I began that I did not want to repeat myself too much.


Our house smells wonderful now thanks to Liz's wickless candles. Thanks Liz!

January Snow

Here are some pictures I have forgot to show you before.





Hello again!

Today Sarah and I went to Welfare Square to make applesauce. We arrived on time (!) and told them why we were there, the people in charge gave us blank looks. They had sent out a message that they were doing salsa instead of applesauce over a month ago. OK, we went to wait until they were ready to tell us what to do, about 10 minutes. When the lady came in to tell us what to do, she told us to go home. We gave 10 minutes of service, just sitting around waiting. It was a nice surprise in that we had the whole morning to do what we had to do at home, but we did not have the opportunity help others. I know this is silly to those of you that preform service all the time. But it was the first time for Sarah to go with me, and it did not turn out the way we had expected.

On the way home I complained about the thing I hate the most about driving inbetween snow storms. Dirty windshields!. I hate dirty windshields in good weather. But when the roads are wet and slushly evey car that goes by sends a mist of salt and water/slush on your car. My windshield wiper on the drivers side is not good, so the passenger side can see great, but I can't. What a mess! How silly it sounds when I write it down. Next time I will talk about our wonderful family, etc. I hope!

Change of supject - Tuesday, January 13th I will be giving a trunk show and mini class for my Relief Society. Everyone is invited to come, we will also have lunch after the trunk show.

I am teaching them to make a lap quilt to use during our Sacrament Meetings. We freeze in the summers and sometimes during the winter.

No pressure!

Christmas Photos









The pile of shoes gets bigger every year.

Happy New Year!

It is 2009 and we have a whole year before us to do what ever we want to do. I hope we all have a wonderful year full of love, family and uplifting experiences. Of course we will have our problems, but we can all look for the good in others and in every situation we find ourselves.
OK, now that I have given myself a pep talk, here are some of the pictures we took at Janet's house. Thanks you Janet and Dave for your never ending hospitality.
