A Spectacular Saturday

Why does my head look so enormous in this picture? -----> Eesh! Do I really have this big of a head??...anyway, The weather yesterday was magnificent. I could hardly believe it was February! (It is so bright out here that you can't tell my sweater is yellow and grey striped.) We drove down to Owen Beach at Point Defiance Park and walked around. When we have a beautiful day here in Washington, everyone really appreciates it!

Livin' on luv & catfood!

This is what a mid-morning bathroom conversation is like at our house. Me: "Honey, if I die before you, please don't marry just so you'll have someone to clip the hair outta your ears." >thinking for a minute< ..."On second thought, if you ARE going to marry someone after I'm gone, do it just so she'll clip the hair outta your ears." Him: "Don't worry dear, you're going to live to be 90, that means I'll be 95. So no woman is going to want to clip the ear hair out of a 95 year old man. Besides, by then, we'll be livin' on catfood". . ...YESSS! ....I'm tellin' ya, life is good, people!

Ron's next~Booyah!

When we go through different phases in our lives (marriage, babies, buying a first home, etc.) we usually do it at the same time our friends do. This is a new wave of phases in our life, and it's starting with Ladd Dooley's retirement.

Ron, Bob, Hal and Don, got the band together to play at Ladd's party. They're pretty good!

My very handsome hubby Ron, Don, Ladd, Hal and Bob. What a fun bunch of guys! Even more fun was the "after party, party". When we went over to Hartzels. The guys, Ron, Hal and Bob had an impromptu jam session and we had great conversation. That was the best!

One of my favorite quotes

Birthday celebrations continue...

Tracie and I celebrated our birthdays(which are 3 days apart) by going with our hubbies to The Lobster Shop restaurant. Fancy Schmancy. I had cedar plank cooked salmon...it was delish!

...and a little creme brulee for dessert. Yum-O!

****** Also, Judey took Tracie and myself out for a little breakfast at the golf course...oh boy, three words: Fab U Lous!

Some things in life are just meant to bring you joy. Grandbabies are definitely one of those things!

A glance back

Today marks 44 years to the day that I was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. January 28, 1968 was a significant day in my life, but I wouldn't realize how significant for years to come. When I was eight years old my mom had only been a convert member for four years. She was an amazing woman, without a great LDS support system. My father was (to put it mildly) an inactive member. So much so, that I didn't even know he was a member of the church until I was an adult. Needless to say, our home wasn't a gospel centered home, and I wasn't quite sure what being baptized really meant. I now marvel at the eight year olds who have been taught gospel principles their entire lives, and are prepared to be baptized. This year we will have two grandchildren baptized. They have each grown up in amazing families who teach and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And for that, I am grateful. I would like Ella and Tyler to know I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for each one of us. I love my Savior. Forty four years is a blink when you look at the whole picture. I have been blessed beyond measure.
