Don't answer the phone on Sunday morning!

The phone rang about 9:30 this morning and guess what...Primary needed a substitute today. Actually I am excited to fill-in. It will be my first time back since being released. The lesson is going to be about Alma baptizing in the waters of Mormon. We'll be using pictures, an object lesson, a handout on the covenants we make at baptism, and discussion questions with scriptural references. If time permits, we will make drawings of our own baptism or of Alma baptizing. Nathan is an assistant in this class of 8 and 9 year olds.

Snowing again!!

Well, here we are back in the computer room again and it's snowing like crazy. The temperature has been dropping this morning and the flakes are coming down! We have decided this would be a good day for homemade chicken soup. Wild Thing is hiding this morning, we had the vacuum cleaner running earlier and it is too scary for him. We might not see him all day today. It's a good thing he doesn't mind if we blog for him.

Snowing....

Nathan and I are sitting in the computer room watching the snowflakes falling. The temperature is dropping as we get closer to evening. It seems strange to see the snow falling this late in March while the trees and daffodils are in bloom. But we love seeing snow anytime!

It's Monday!

Guess I'll have to continue blogging for Wild Thing, he's hiding under the bed this morning, obviously blogging is the last thing on his little mind. It's a beautiful morning, but chilly. Judie and I are getting ready to go for our morning walk by the mighty Puyallup River. Belinda, our other walking buddy, is on jury duty this week, so she'll be on her way to Tacoma soon.
We had a very nice, peaceful Easter. The speakers in Sacrament meeting were excellent and the lesson in YW went well.

Spring Has Sprung!

What a busy week! First there was St. Patrick's Day, then the first day of spring and on Sunday we have Easter...The Easter bunnies and the Irish leprechauns are both on display in the family room.

Wild Thing has been taking some time off from blogging, spring fever, I think.

We have nearly eaten our weight (which is considerable at this time) in chocolate Easter candy. Larry had his second cataract surgery today and is doing fine.

The doll in this picture is Daffodil Ginny and the picture was painted by my very talented and crafty friend, Belinda.

Wild Thing Celebrates St Paddy's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

The rains fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
