Imagine a private beach in the Bahamas….and then put 2000 people on it! The last hour before our boat left was peacful, though! Dale, Am, An (below!), D, Da, and M snorkled. Notice, no Laura in that list. I just can’t do underwater. Everyone had fun while I babysat the bags and clothes. Again, thank…
Fun on the ship
Me, An, and Am in the pool. We only got in the pool one day. There was just too much to do. We celebrated Mom and Dad’s 30th anniversary on the ship. We all dressed up, took pictures with the ship’s photographer, and had another great dinner. The restaurant staff sang “Let me call you…
Beware of exploding head!
Ok–so everything escalated to the point where I really feared that my head was going to explode. Getting ready for the holidays is often hectic enough. Thank goodness we’re having a low-key Christmas and my shopping was done early! Throw in a challenging and very busy calling plus a week-long cruise, and WOW! What a…

I’ve been tagged!
My sister, Andrea, has “tagged” me (that’s the 2 of us together to the left), which means (I guess!) that I need to write 6 facts/habits about myself….and then tag 6 of my friends. Since I did my 5 favorite things last month, I will try to be different this time and maybe include some…

Well, as of about 11:20 am today, my secret is out. Woohoo! It was really hard for me not to tell everyone about my new “assignment”….. About a week and a half ago, our Bishop asked me to be the Primary President in our ward (for those of you not familiar with the lingo, I’ll…
Cows get no respect
This morning at breakfast, Noodle surprized me with this comment… “This milk is from cows that were not treated with respect.” Trying to supress a laugh, I turned around and asked her what she meant. Squinting at the milk carton, she pointed at a little bubble. “See, Mom, it says that the cows were not…
What’s for dinner?
Tradition….. Yesterday, I mentioned to PB that I was thinking of making a different apple pie. My friend, Karen, gave me an apple pie recipe that I tried out in October and loved. I figured that I’d made my old recipe for every holiday meal for the last 21 years (boy does that make me…
Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with our friends, Stacy and Dave, and my sister and brother-in-law. Seven adults, 11 kids, and tons of food! Best of all, Peanut Butter’s trip to Kuwait was postponed so that he was home for the holiday. On Wednesday, I was able to help out at Taco’s 1st grade Thanksgiving…
